I'm not sure about other printers, but the .gcode file extension makes all my filenames apper with a "~" and the last couple of letters are missing. My machine only reads files with the 8.3 naming convention. It would be great if you could choose .gcode or .g when saving a file to disk, to...

I can ctl-click the model, move it a few MM and re-generate the support and get a completely different support pattern. Some locations generate good support, oth...

Thanks for the reply Clayton, I have sent many more prints and still no bridge detection. I'm printing ABS with the default makergear m2 settings, which turn off the cooling fan at layer 0, but the bridge should still override that I would think. The STL I'm using is http://www.thingiverse.com/thing...

Can I just set my M2's mechanical axis endstop to "0" with the nozzle touching the bed glass (while the glass and nozzle are hot), then use the "z offset" to control where the first layer starts printing? Is this the proper use of the Z-axis offset? I have always manually adjuste...
