  1. Hello I have a Mingda d2 I asked their support what kind of printer to select if mine doesn't show up on the list of printers I selected one made by the same company, they never get back to me their customer service is crap. It's z index is too high above the plate always when it starts so I think something must e incompatible. Does anyone know a good default printer that I can select I am worried my prints are having too many issues may be incompatibility. Thanks for any tips.

  2. Hey, I am using a grid pattern. That does make sense it does hit where the grid intercepts. What is Z-hop on retraction and where is its setting. I am using cura 4.8. I am raising the nozzle on the 3d printer because it will start bumping the print after a while of printing then it will be ok for a bit but eventually i have to raise it up again. eventually after a long print I have had to raise it up by like 4-5 mm total. Its ridiculous.

  3. Hello. I have a really annoying problem. My printer works well so I am thinking there may be something else's maybe to do with curas settings. While I am printing my nozzle keeps bumping the top of the print. When it does the infill which is diamond shapes it will hit all the tops of the diamonds when it moves. I have to raise the nozzle like every 10 minutes. It had a bit to do with the raft warping the temps are at 60 degrees and I have tape holding down the raft. It seems though that this won't stop throughout a big print. Does anyone know how I could fIx this thanks.

  4. Hello. I am using fusion 360 and cura eveything works great. I just learned how to make supports and i am using them on my drone frame that i am trying to print off. On cura after I add some supports part of the inside of the four dougnut shapes on all four coners of my model vanish and there is a shadow remaining of where the shell should still be. I attached an image of this. Hope somone can figure out why this is happening. Thanks.

  5. Hello. I am using cura to make a rectangle with a raft. The problem is that although the raft is very good and works well, it sticks to the rectangle too much because the last layer on the raft is very fine and close together and makes a very solid surface that the rectangle sticks to really hard. I want like a zig zag row of pla to up next to my object so that i can pull them apart when i am done the print. Thanks for any tips.Untitledraft.thumb.png.1e1672afad88b3d8f441a021e40caa27.png

  6. Ok the only settings I know about are under preferences->configure cura. That is the settings page I showed you in that image above. Is there another settings page? How do I get to it. I have tried switching the right side combo box to custom selection.

     

    You said On the right side you have the settings for slicing the mode. The right side of what how do I get to these settings? thanks.

  7. Hello. I am using cura and a mingda d2 printer. I have a 3d model in cura and i am trying to give it a raft. I have read about this so far but cannot find the right settings to get the job done.
