Someone got there first and added it, but forgot the link to their web page. Would be good if we could get some other types of material on the page too.by Cefiar - General
Printing Material Suppliers on the wiki - 14 years ago
Got a wiki account? Know about a decent supplier for printing materials (filament, paste, powder, granules, etc), then feel free to document them at the following wiki page: Printing Material Suppliers I just revised this page and organised it a bit (well, a table), and if we get some more content, then perhaps we can organise it all a bit better. Info needed: Name/URL for the business, and thby Cefiar - General

Re: A thermal blank The only issue with a thermal blank like rocket_scientist suggests is the waste of plastic. If you can reuse the plastic it wouldn't be so bad. Either recycle the plastic - which is a whole thread in itself, and there is one in the general forum under the topic: Plastic recycler - or if possible for an identical/similar print. If there is a different print between these idenby Cefiar - General

Not always, but anything that will block it (ie: any insulating material, air gaps, etc) will create an inefficiency in getting it into the plate. nophead's done a very good job of avoiding that in his designs, but I'veby Cefiar - General

Remember, just because you are using 55W of electricity, that doesn't mean you are converting all of that electrical power into heat. There will always be some conversion loss, and if your conversion loss is higher than in nophead's setups, you will need to compensate.by Cefiar - General
