Hi,
I just got to know about 3D printing a couple of months ago and bought myself a self-assembled Airwolf3D (it's so hard to assemble and calibrate it properly!!).
Just curious about what printers do you guys use and how are your prints? Best if you have photos to show off to me!
(I'm a Singaporean too, btw)

Bought a mendel90 pre-soldered from nophead, took me about 18 hours in total to fix, another 2 hours to calibrate. Now I can do it in 15 mins but lol, I hate calibration. Not much prints to show off though.

Assembling another i2 now, waiting for the hobbed bolt, I can't seem to get my machining guys to replicate it without a decent m3 tap.
Just curious, which airwolf model did you get? And why did you decide to get an airwolf?

Hi Kenshinjeff!
Wow! 18 hours is impressive! I took a few days to build mine and forever to calibrate it (I still can't print pass the first layer for most prints).
Nice yoda there.
OK, Kenshinjeff and Soon wei, you guys are the whizzes!
My is a AW3D V.5. I thought I can learn better by assembling it myself (I have no engineering background) but kinda stuck now. To be honest, I did not read up enough on all the reprap's available before purchasing. I just want to start printing properly now.

Hi guys, perhaps you guys can help me. I have been unsuccessful with most prints. I faced many issues:
1) first layer does not stick to the heat bed (I tried applying acetone with dissolved abs on the heat bed. But the problem still recurred.)
2) some corners of the prints will rise/curl up.
- sometimes this caused the nozzle to be printing over the air as the lower layer curled inwards.
Do you guys have any idea how I can resolve these issues?
