Do you prefer to create Duel Extrusion prints with or without using the "Dual Extrusion Wizard" in the software? I have never been able to get a successful print using the wizard If it is a simple print where the top is one color and the bottom is another color then I don't bother using the wizard....
The biggest mistake I made was being too excited to start printing things so I didn't properly level my build plate. That caused lots of frustration later down the road. S3D has an amazing bed leveling wizard under the tools menu. Use it two or three times in a row until everything is perfect. Howev...
FlashForge Pro works very well (I own three) however they are not stackable as is. Doesn't have network abilities either but an octoprint would fix that.
I agree with the previous post. To really take advantage of the dual extruders, you need to design your model in pieces. However, for your keychain, that can be accomplished fairly easily within S3D. You need to create two different processes, one for the bottom part and one for the top part. Config...
I was in a similar position as you in that I got my FlashForge Pro real cheap so I didn't mind splurging on this software. Long story short, I could never go back to replicatorG or anything else. In particular, when I create an object in AutoDesk Fusion 360 and export it to an .stl, it always rotate...
I have owned a FlashForge dual for almost a year now and have made countless successful dual extruder prints without a problem. However, I recently bought a second FF dual and have run into a problem with the dual extruders. It seems that S3D doesn't quite know exactly how far apart the extruders ar...
I have also struggled with this. My experience has been that printing rounded overhangs that curve upwards (like the bottom of a sphere) always come out pretty ugly (like the first photo shows). Up until now I have just tried to avoid them but its nice to know there might be hope afterall!

And as for a funky use for printing waste......mine goes towards filler for fake sandbags for use at WW2 reenactment events at the Tramway Museum I volunteer at.
Wow, that is truly a unique use of scrap prints! Thanks for sharing.
