Good evening,
I'm new to 3d printing and need some advice.
I've purchased a Powerspec 3D pro. The test objects provided with the printer print.
My first home made object prints. The second and third objects I created extrude no plastic.
I'm using Inland brand white PLA (1.75mm measured with a cheap micrometer)
The second part, a set of steps for a miniature scenery project, was designed in 3d studio max.
I extruded and mesh edited a box to ensure it was closed and the faces were oriented correctly.
I exported to stl. The gcode generator complained that it was 'crossing itself'. I loaded it into
Netfabb basic and it said it was fine. I still got warnings so I tried repairing it in Netfabb cloud.
The stl was half size but I got no warnings.
I'm using "ReplicatorG - Sailfish - 0040r24".
There's no discernable way to see the version other than what's in the top of the application window's bar.
The manufacturer provided the app and said the settings should be:
machine type: Replicator Dual
Gcode generator: Skeinforge (50)
For the gcode generation it suggested "Replicator 2 slicing defaults",
Default start and end gcode, and "Print-O-Matic".
Layer height: 0.27mm
Feedrate: 100 (recommended for pla)
Travel Feedrate: 55
Print temperator: 205 (The inland box specifies 190-240)
I've attached the log of the build and the stl. I can't seem to get the forum to let me attach the gcode though.
log.txt
ToriiGate2_fixed.STL
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jay
