Re: Contour 1.9.0.0
well there have been cases, let's say a long sword or a vehicle antenna that consist of a long thin geometry pointing diagonally up and would benefit from a few extra support tips so as not to wobble If it needs support or if there is worry about wobble, which there shouldn't be any, then change th...

Re: Tools of the Trade
That is exactly what I'm talking about. ^_^ That is actually a great find and much better than what I currently use. Shipping is a pain but they would be a nice addition. It would be nice to know if a department store carried them but my google searches have pulled up nothing and shipping is cheaper...

Tools of the Trade
I am curious to know what methods and tools that everyone uses for their everyday Solus printing experiences. After going through various videos, watching others do things, you star to make a list of things you need... containers for alcohol wash, cure chamber, pec pads, alcohol, silicone spatula, s...

Re: using computer

You are still building layers on layers, your support is along that ridge but at the v, making the connection weak. You probably wan...

Re: Basic Support Structures Tutorials
That is good to know, that helps a lot in understanding what the supports are doing so that if I wanted to manually or adjust automatic supports, the things I should be paying attention too. That does bring up a question though. Currently, I haven't really been fussing with orientation mostly making...

Re: Basic Support Structures Tutorials
It might be beneficial, at least it is to me, to explain the purpose and how supports for the Solus DLP Printer differ from traditional FDM 3D Printer. To me the purpose isn't as clear or doing the same thing as it would with FDM. With an FDM printer supports are meant to hold, prevent drooping, sag...
