As we all know, ABS warps on unheated plates. I tried it anyway (on tape), and got some warp. I used a 250 watt IR lamp ($6 or so) and with it about 8 inches away from my thick aluminum plate it heated it to 90-100C. My first print at 230C extrusion and using the lamp had minimal warp. I got a filament jam though, and not sure why. Don't think that should happen at 230C at the 10-15mm/secby rsilvers - General
I already have a 4x6 inch 1/4 inch thick aluminum plate, so I could glue resistors to it. But is there a place I can buy a small heated board in the size range of 4x4 to 4x6 inches?by rsilvers - General

Anyone else think this is a hoax? Seems to me that some art student did a rendering of what he thought a color 3D FFF printer should look like, copied the look of the Form-1, and didn't know that the orange cover was to prevent the SLA resin from curing.by rsilvers - Developers

BTW, I do think this is not a good thing to do right before the non-detectable weapons law was about to expire. As Cody will raise the chances of the law being reissued. He is trying to say "Hey - look, in the future anyone will be able to print a gun, including criminals, so don't ban any guns as that will only make them illegal for people who obey the law." That may be true, but that argumentby rsilvers - General

Same reason why Tiger Woods needed to start playing Golf at age 2. You develop skills easier when you are young. You are not supposed to leave the kid alone with it though! The gun is to use with one-on-one very close supervision only. Very tragic story, but no different than "Parent buys bike for 5 year old, leaves him alone outside, and he drives into traffic."by rsilvers - General

I don't see why it would help accuracy when with a 1.8 you only have about 1/20 of 1 micron per microstep.by rsilvers - General

I know a lot of people asked for the file. You could put it on GoogleDrive and it can generate a link for people to download it. I want to see how much faster, if any, a QU-BD RPM can print it at the same apparent quality.by rsilvers - General
Where can I download the model of that figure with the head? Thanks.by rsilvers - General
It would be good to try a 250 watt infrared head lamp in the top pointing down and the build area and see if that helps prevent warpage.by rsilvers - General
It looks interesting but there is no demo so it is hard to commit the money. How does it compare to using Repetier Host with Slic3r?by rsilvers - General

If that speed was 30mm/sec - what is the fastest you can run it and not see a drop in quality? It would be awesome if you could post a sharp photo of the same model built with the same settings except at 60mm/sec, 120mm/sec, and 240 mm/sec - along with their build times.by rsilvers - General
This was updated and fixed today. Thank you. It works for me now.by rsilvers - Repetier
