  1. It was on. I’ll do a little test print with it off tomorrow if I’m not too busy and post it here.
  2. Thanks for the tips gr5. I’m pretty sure my issue was the ambient air temp. I left it printing in a poorly heated room during the winter season. I’m currently working on making one of those “IKEA LACK” dyi enclosures for my printer. I’ll be sure to post here when I print something with that new set up.
  3. Ok. Now I’m pretty sure what the issue is. I need an enclosure. So I’ll try building my own and see how that changes things.
  4. Hello. So yesterday I did my very first ABS print and all seemed fine with the first few layers so I decided to let the printer do it’s thing while I was out. I came back and found that certain areas had warped (I think) and I can’t quite understand why it happened. I used a heated bed at 95 C and extruder temperature was at 230 C with a print speed of 20 mm/s and I printed with 20% infill. One thought I’m having is that it may have been affected by the cooler surrounding temperature (I don’t have an I closed printer), but then I would think that the problem would be found towards the top area, further away from the heated bed...or maybe I need more infill...Any thoughts/suggestions? I have attached some photos to show how it turned out. Thanks.
  5. Thanks kman and mastory. I appreciate the advice and information
  6. I used Cura. I heard there is a way to edit the support structure but I didn’t know when I printed it. I also need to look into that. The program doesn’t show the support structure after before printing but I’m sure there is a way to view it. I just need to look into that for future prints. I also didn’t think much about how I oriented my print. Most of the small, including the smallest holes, wouldn’t need support structures if they were positioned vertically. However, my holes where mostly positioned horizontally. I’m using a Monoprice Maker Select printer. The entire print is just PLA. I don’t think it is possible to use a different material for support structures because there is only one extruded nozzle.
  7. Thanks! I actually used my skinniest hex key and that did the job. Next time I’ll be sure to give the jeweller’s files a try. My current 3D printer does not seem to have dual extruders but I’ll definitely look into that for my next one
  8. Hi, I’m very new to printing and I recently printed an object with multiple holes and a large overhang. Thinking about the overhang, I decided to include support structures in the print. Dealing with the support of the overhang was fine. I’m just having a lot of trouble figuring out an easy and safe way to remove those structures from the tiny holes (about 3-4mm in diameter) in my print. On top of that, the holes go in about 30mm...Any tool suggestions? Thanks.
