Hi All I want to print a flat sheet say 1mm thick by 50mm sq. the sheet (as I call it) has to be flexible to mould to a surface that has contours. But I'm not sure how to go about this, I was thinking a drawing honey comb in cad and trying that then print it in Flexible PLA which I have lying around, Anyone have any ideas how to do it

I Use Simplyfy 3D all the time now, and supports are good but I think they could be even better , sometimes I think that designing in to your product supports is a better step, just my opinion.

All Perfect thanks for the reply, I see e-mail notifications are not working yet? Swordriff Got you, I got the i2K so will follow this Thanks

Hi All before the Forum was re built I found a picture by GR5 about the installation of the Olson Block and the the distances of some of the components, but struggling to find them now, Although I have just managed to get back on to Forum some stuff is hard to find can anyone point me in the right direction, help appreciated.

Where did you get Kevlar cloth from and how did you stick the clothe to the Unit ie epoxy?

Laburn Do you use Kapton tape on your design which I now have printed before I fit it to Olson block

0% infill ? Thanks will let you know how I get on when I fit the block which will be soon now have all the parts in place

Thanks for that will re download the file I looked had has a print time if 5+ hrs at 0.15 layerht how long did your take.

Labern will download your design for when i have new block fitted I only print in PLA at moment but would out source to a print bureaux to have it printed in Nylon. will let you know how I get on. I can shape in metal and would try this first

I'm about to fit an Olsson block At moment I use the Venkel designed fan shroud, I am altering the design to fit Olsson block lowering it and filling in the base, any thoughts on this till there is a better design.

Got a question about the tool to remove the Nozle could I adapt it to fit in a electric screw driver (small low rpm) I have a condition that makes it very very difficult to use my hand to screw the Nozle in by Hand. I had thought of producing a shank and gluing it to the handle but not sure if I use Cyno it would be strong enough. Thoughts.?

For what its worth The Mojo is a £7,000 pound printer and you have to use there Filaments its expensive. I have seen the wanhao duplicator 4 in action on a bench front of me at the London 3d Print Show in 2014, and it Works??? BUT not sure if it is Chinese if it is how long will it work for and whats the support like??? I also heard the PVA is a pain and Leapfrog Creator HS had been using HIPS (I think thats the term) but not seen any results.

Swordriff Order Placed, on the sight it says the Dupont Teflon is shipping end of March I can wait a week if thats any good to ship altogether also ordered spare Temp sensor Just incase Thanks Gr5 I thought 180 was fine but I'm still Leaning and have a tendency to drift in my thinking Bob

I Agree My UM2 is doing well but really want a dual head printer. Looked at the From HS. and the Iron Cor (dodgy company) but decided to wait for UM3

Swordriff Thanks for the reply I take it you are 3DSolex?? I found the extra items on the 3DS sight like the temp sensor ect and Nozles I will be ordering the complete setup with spares soon. Just looking for a Fan Shroud. I don't know this for sure but When I dismantle the temp sensors I wondered if there is anything wrong with it, my print settings for PLA is very low 180 thats colour fabs black/white/ Bob

I've read with interest about the Anderson Olsson Block. I am keen to try a small nozzle size for small intricate parts. I was thinking of ordering nozzles from e3d online and getting the block from 3d solex. How easy is it to fit? Do I need any other items to carry this out before I jump ie. Um2 parts

Hi All has anyone looked at Leap Frog Creatr Hs Dual head my supplier who sold me my UM2 recommended I look at this as I have Been wanting dissolvable supports they recon Hips instead of PVA Any thought won't to wait for UM but can't wait forever Thoughts would be good

Mmmm I was notified today that my scanner is ready to ship I paid £110.0 deposited with £860 to pay I think I will pass on this thought it would have been easy

I'd like to chip in on this about the Form +1 I had test prints done in the UK the print was not good and whats more the resin was brittle the print was not accurate and with warping. in the UK there seems little support for this printer it was high on my spend list but not anymore. have you looked at https://markforged.com

Heartman No problem, I used simplify 3d, created the drawing, sliced it in Smp3D found the layer that was at the top of the nut where it is going to be printed over noted the layer, created the Gcode, went into Noted Pad and did a find for the layer directly below the line number I placed this code G1 Z60 F900; move to Z60 at F900 speed M0; pause ran the code on my UM2 at this point the machine paused allowing the time to insert the just press button and print continues hope this helped Bob

Hi I Made these Carbon Mud Guards for my wheelchair, when I made them, I made White brackets from Pipe Holders, after Machining the Diameters - YUK After a while I thought of Printing my own from Black PLA with a 6mm Hex bolt sunk into the centre. Much Neater and they really hold the Carbon

Sorted Worked on The Layer number added M0 and some code worked like a dream. Love this Software

Well managed it inserted nut and printed over it in Smp 3D supports at the bottom are C**P really but first time and loads of learning curves Well Pleased Thanks for all the Advise

Thanks for that I think I worked how to identify the line just need the code to insert simplify 3d not really helping hear Very interesting Thankyou
