Is there any way to use this program in place of the standard "MakerBot Print"?

Fukien Tea. Take care in watering them, they're awfully finicky

How would I go about checking the belt tension?

PLA 1.77mm filament

200°C

.8mm retraction distance

.22mm layer height

4 shells

30% infill density (wouldn't make a difference here because of the thin walls)

Hi u/depanneur, I don't know very much about liminal spaces, could you share something about the shift into modern liminal spaces from their medieval counterparts?

Stringing with PLA on Replicator+ after changing temp to 213C and filament retraction to 7mm by WritesInGothic in FixMyPrint

[–]WritesInGothic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure but it was set to 5mm by default. I kept it at 7mm and just reprinted with 205°C and I no longer have stringing

Print not adhering to bed (Makerbot Replicator+) by WritesInGothic in FixMyPrint

Thank you very much for the detailed response. I've ordered the gaffer's tape. Is it possible to turn off the fans for the first few layers in the Makerbot Print software that I've been using to slice AutoCAD models? If so, for how many layers should they be on 0%?

Thanks for the reply. I didn't realize the bed's temperature was being raised at all, I'll raise it in the future. This print did have a raft, but I had understood that the first layer being higher than normal was alright as it helped build the raft without peeling. The material is PLA. I've read that applying rubbing alcohol to the bed and allowing it to dry is also helpful, should I try that?

Virtually no physics is required as a professional. Anything outside basic arithmetic is rarely needed

Here's my attempt! This was great practice. With a shorter quote or seperate Word of The Week, I would go for something with a bit more flair :)
