  1. I think I found the problem. I am using petg but using generic pla settings. The temperature on the build plate and print head are too low. I'll see if that makes a difference.
  2. Well..I stopped my first print because it looked pretty ragged . Why all the stingy filament all around?
  3. Just received my gently used S5. After a few newbie setup issues it seems to be working fine. My problem is I can't setup WiFi. The slider is greyed out. The ethernet works fine. I can turn it off but that does not activate the wifi slider. I have the latest firmware. It is inconvenient stretching a cat 5 cable to the printer. Any help would be appreciated.
  4. Is there any chance you could send me your stl Cura setup file for 3 masks. The navigation aspect will be like me learning greek. As a totally unrelated aside I spent 6 years off and on trying to learn Homeric greek.
  5. Once again great information. Do you glue stick the entire plate or just the area you will be printing? Formlabs slicing software automatically fixes stl files with issues. Does Cura do that or do I need to run it through Meshmixer or Netfabb? Thanks again.
  6. Great information, thank you. I am totally unfamiliar with the FMD process. I have been using my Formlabs Form 2 to print reusable face masks. I use the Montana Billings Clinic model. At $160 a liter it gets expensive. With Formlabs software all you have to set is your resolution, 25, 50 or 100 microns. I have no experience with Cura 4.5. But since it is made by the makers of the printer I imagine it will work best with their product. I will probably just stick to 3 prints per session until I start to learn the nuances of the technique. Is there any trick getting the print off of the built plate, glue, raft..etc? What inexpensive filament would you recommend?
  7. I am getting my S5 Friday. How many frames can you get on a build plate. I read somewhere where they mentioned stackable printing, or do I have that wrong?
  8. I would like to get a really good Ultimaker 3 or S3. I live in SoCal. The more goodies with the printer the better.
