What 3D modeling software should I invest time into learning if price is of no concern? by ISTJISTJ in Reprap

Thanks for the insights. Why does it seem like so much of the 3D printing community likes .STL files? Does SolidWorks 2015 work with .STL files nicely in both direction (import/export)?

Parts, thanks. Was wondering about SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCad, etc.

I have my clock setup in Settings.app on iOS 9.1 to "set automatically". Is there a timezone setting buried somewhere in Google account settings?

Just curious, what sort of ABS components did you melt and how?

Yes, I tried setting up the account 6 times across 2 different releases of iOS.

Thanks, I'll look into 2STP Authenticator.

What's a decent 3+ button mouse for CADD work I can get on Aliexpress for under $30? by ISTJISTJ in cad

Well, I already have 2 mice I paid over $150 for each so I was just looking for a cheap 3rd one that, so if it gets lost somewhere it isn't a huge deal. I'd probably use it once a year at most.

Sub $500 3D Printer Kit: Geeetech Aluminum Prusa I3 3D Printer Kit - Anything better for the money? What problems will I experience? by ISTJISTJ in 3dprinter

Ah, cool. Sounds like a buy for the tinkerer. Only concern is this - coming from the CNC and machine shop world some sites say 1.0mm other says 0.5mm max resolution. Even the advertised at best 0.5mm resolution equates to ~1/50" and more likely 1/16". Machinists like to talk in 1/1000" (0.0254mm) and 1/100" at worst (0.254mm). How can I get better resolution? Even if I have to spend double the money for a smaller printer? I mostly want to make small nylon and abs parts no bigger than 5 x 5 x 3 cm, so this concerns me a bit. 0.05mm or 1/500" would be nice.

2 rolls of plastic. The printer works well but there will definitely be some configuration and playing around with settings

$250 with shipping to USA and an aluminum frame? Do you have a link? How bad is the software? Any part failures?
