I've printed with it. Oven baked eliminated crackle and pop.
It does warp EXCESSIVELY. Smaller parts are usable, large parts lift alot. I've been running a trimmer line stepper gear on my extruder for 4 months now, looks like almost no wear at all. It meshes with an ABS hobbed bolt gear that is showing typical wear.
0.65" blue, round line, generic brand. Trimmer line does come in different extr

Those are what I'm looking for, looking into running a Azteeg X3 with a Raspberry Pi.

I'm looking for a very fast stepper driver, beyond any printable speed, something pushing 500mm/s or more.
I'm designing a printer with 10:1 geared X Y steppers so I would like to be able to push it to a 50mm/s print speed.

Like I said, it's past that point. I'm not here for you to learn how to run a business. If I want to contribute to the down fall of American manufacturing and economy to the Chinese, I can do that all by myself. I don't need a middle man to profit from it.
I do not appreciate the lies I have been told by you, go take a course at your local college in BUSINESS ETHICS.

Looks a little too hot, and a little too much extrusion.
If you watch your nozzle tip on the infill passes with these settings, you should be able to see a ridge/wave of material being pushed along by the edge of the nozzle. It will get pushed past the perimeter wall and get deposited on the outside of your print. The burnt bits are getting pulled off the sides of your nozzle by the excess mater

the resolution of free shipping, if I can profit from you again....not cool. If you have a high volume product flow, one unit would be nothing to maintain customer satisfaction, or just offer to reimburse the purchase price, or if you lie about it, at least stick to ONE lie.
It's not the error or dropping the ball on my order, it is the multiple lies and different excuses in each email.

It is very clear that I would have not got my order at all if I did not inform you of not receiving it. Different excuse or lie with every email.
If you would have doubled my order at no cost I may have let this slide, but it's past that point. Was only offered free shipping on next order, that's trying your best? Like there isn't any place else to get filament.
I very much doubt that if you re

Check your glass with a straight edge, if it is flat diagonally and side to side, you may have slightly bent X or Y smooth rods.

Advising of a bad filament supplier. They have a website and sell on eBay. Purchased thru ebay, emailed me that my selection was out of stock, gave me the option of another choice, or to wait a week for re-stock. I said I could wait the week. Would not have purchased from if stock levels were indicated.
The next week my purchase was marked as shipped, so began my 2 week wait thinking it was bein

The people behind KISSlicer are top-notch. Very quick to address bugs and issues, while another 'slicer' team will tell you the problems are on your end and not with the slicer.
The Reprap magazine article on slicing software speaks for itself.

You need to do a boolean subtraction. I use 3DS Max, this is an easy operation. I think Rhino 3d will also do boolean operation.

the reality of a 3d printer in every home will happen when you can say 'Computer, Earl Grey Tea, hot.'
It doesn't seem that you are very experienced in 3D printing.
If the customer doesn't know ANYTHING, how would you ever be able to remotely troubleshoot a bad print when the customer can't tell you any thing more than it didn't print right? How may times are you going to rip g-code for one per

there is no logistics solution for this. again, NO ONE is going to have a 3d printer and not know how to use it.......
Would you buy a car, hire a blind folded driver, and expect to get to where you want to go?

I think that by the time there is a push button solution for home 3d printing, you may very likely be just loading the model file onto the printer, the printer asks the most simple of variables such as size, material, and number of copies, then the printer just does its thing.
It is VERY unlikely to be a push button solution any time soon.

This makes no sense, so you are wanting to sell gcode? This is logistically feasible. You would never be able to remotely create correct gcode for a customer printer, not even for a branded printer. The whole idea of it is DIY.
While I know there are people that are not particularly CAD or 3D modelling oriented, I really don't think anyone is going to buy or make a 3D printer to not know how to

nail polish remover does have acetone in it, along with several other additives. Not as good as straight acetone, and does not dissolve some brands of ABS.

Are there Z values in your gcode for the first 3 layers? May be a slicing issue.

It's the marketing and selling of an incomplete item that kills me. You should have the prototype actually working before Kickstart. Printerbot- functional at Kickstart, 3dDoodler- functional at Kickstart.
No issue with refinement during Kickstart. But damn, have something that works.

Sick of seeing unfinished, untested, unbuilt printers being sold. I know it was a Kickstarter, but 1 year behind on delivery due to development is ridiculous.

Lower your endstops. I zero my Z axis right to the build surface at temperature. A standard piece of printer paper is 0.1mm.
That's putting your first layer at .2mm + 1/2 your layer height(depending on slicer and settings), resulting in not getting first layer adhesion.
What layer height are you trying to print at?
