Re: Help with surface quality on Printrbot Metal Simple

Thanks for the reply David. I am concerned about the multiplier being so low. I'll be starting over from scratch when I have a chance. I feel like I must have done something wrong at some point.

Re: airwolf3d HD2x

I am also interested in hearing from airwolf3d users. I am about to upgrade my HD to the dual head upgrade with .35 nozzles. I've been mostly using Slic3r and Cura so far but am looking forward to using simplify3D for future parts.
