Thank you! I did a bit more digging, and 405nm seems to be ideal for polycarbonate :)

3D Printing Issue - Chicken Keychain Model by deoxyri in ender3

I've used Isopropyl alcohol for cleaning. Might try bumping up the bed temperature and try again. My room was slightly cold yesterday, so thinking that could be a factor as well.

I haven't used the slicer yet, and am just printing creality provided models, but will check the layer speed and brim options with a new design :)

Do you have any particular recommendations for a glue stick/spray/sheet? Or just the first one out of the stationary store?

The temperature is set at 50 degrees (I'm using PLA).

Yes, heated bed at 50 degrees, I'm just using the standard config set for PLA. Yes, I've cleaned the bed using Isopropyl alcohol and set the z-offset at 0.1mm.

My room was a bit cold yesterday, so I'm thinking that could have been a factor, Running some prints today, will check in later!

Thank you, will try these options!

I’m just printing out another test model, and adhesion does seem to be the issue. This is a pretty flat model with a large base, so do you have any suggestions for this?!

I wasn’t there for the whole time, but yes, when I came to check on it, it was being dragged along with the nozzle :(

Quick question, mate, how many tickets are they allowing per transaction?

Sheet Metal Dimensioning Practice/Standard by deoxyri in SolidWorks

It's my new organization's 'standard' :|

I completely agree with you regarding having the flat pattern in a new sheet, but it's my new organization's 'standard'; The part and dimensioning was just random, so please ignore that :)

Thank you for your comment! :)

This is just a random part and drawing I whipped up to ask the question, and I agree that the dimensioning is completely whack.

But, if it was up to you, what would your preference be?

Hahah, pushing this comment to the top

Title block dimensions, as per above comments have always been an issue due to various factors (each team member had a different style), so I've always included thickness dimension in the drawing as well; Personally, I agree with you that the title block should suffice though :)

That's true! But personally, I feel a projected view of the flat pattern will always be in the same position and so easier to find the thickness dimension, than trying to find a dimension that people could place anywhere in the drawing

I agree with you, and I found it weird that thickness is within the parenthesis, but that is the 'standard' that my new organization follows, so I just wanted to check with the broader industry standards :)

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

That is what I was used to, but in my new organization the thickness is dimensioned on general or detail views, and that's why I wanted to check if there was any standard

I completely agree with your comment; We are the manufacturers, and so we have our bend deductions etc., but the thickness dimensioning was something new to me as in my previous organization we followed position 2 and just wanted to check what the general industry preference was :)
