Re: (re)activation required

This just happened to me also
I ran it 2 days ago with no problem and today it asks for the key and then fails because it thinks there it is installed on too many machines.

Re: Importing STL files sideways

The default in Solidworks (as far as I know) is to think of the Front plane as if it were the bed of the printer. Positive extrusion from the Front plane will be in the positive Z direction in the STL file. I rarely worry about it except when I want to publish a part with a recommended orientation f...

Re: Not quite right, please help?

You're probably going to have to play with the ooze control settings. It looks like the blobs are at the start of each loop so you may need to increase the retraction length as a starting place. This is where printing calibration cubes are helpful. Adjust your settings until those come out nice. You...

Re: Has anyone tried 2.1.2?

And it appears the "Allow zeroing of extrusion distances" bug still hasn't been fixed.

Re: Hole in object slicing as solid?

Well I can tell you that it's a problem with the model.
It looks like many of the normals are flipped, maybe more problems.

I mostly just use 3d Studio for rendering so I'm afraid I can't tell you what went wrong.
Tried Netfabb and it just plugs the hole too.

Re: How can I change the tooling path?

I only mentioned Stratasys to illustrate that the concept isn't new. Cura has the feature also and it "appears" to do a good job in this case. Here is the first layer after using the lay flat option: Image3.jpg I've never actually printed anything with Cura yet but I track it's progress on...

Re: How can I change the tooling path?

I just looking to have this come out as smooth as the case. Since the large surfaces are actually curved there is only two options as far as I can tell to get both of those surfaces to be smooth: 1) Use soluble support material such as HIPS or PVA. 2) Flip the part 90 degrees and print it with the ...

Re: How can I change the tooling path?

which slicers do you do this in? The Stratasys software has had this feature for years. The new Craftware (beta) slicer has it also. Looking a little closer at this particular part it wouldn't matter anyway. The whole part is curved, I assume so that it will have a friction fit with the mating part...

Re: How can I change the tooling path?

If you closely you will see that the part is tipped upward slightly.
The one corner that is touching the bed is printing first.
You need to rotate the part so that the entire bottom is touching the bed.

Re: model not printing in as one part

Played around with it a little.
See if this works.
