I dont know why my printer is not giving the results it used to. I have a A1 with 500 hours and its print quality has been rapidly deteriorating. On one instance it screwed up a build plate. After switching back to the textured plate and cleaning the plate vigoirously with hot water, soap, and isopropyl alchoholI was still getting bad results. I even tried tighreiing all the screws in the extruder assembly. This morning I woke up to blob of doom. My first layers suck and most of my prints end up having adhesion despite having high surface areas. I'll have to order a new hotend assembly after the blob if I want to restore the printer. I've considering buying a P2S. What is your advice? #Questions #Help #Advice(Edited)

#Advice #Newmodel #Design Help #Comingsoon I am desinging a dummy 13 hockey net, but I am not sure what to do for the net; I first thought to use some sort of eye mesh, then mesure, adjust the size of the mesh, and attach to the net with pins, but I think i need a diffrent sujestion, I dont think the eye mesh idea will work.(Edited)

I made an articulated, magnetic, mannequin for use as a drawing reference. I left attachment points at the hips and the back. Any suggestions for what I should make as attachments? #Newmodel #Advice

🔥 BIG NEWS 🔥 I’m beyond pumped to announce that I’ll soon have access to some insane 3D printers at school, with the support of an awesome staff member who’s giving me crazy freedom to experiment and create. The machines I’ll be working with include: Snapmaker Artisan 3-in-1 – 3D printing, laser engraving, AND CNC milling all in one powerhouse. MakerBot Replicator Mini – small but crazy precise, perfect for intricate designs. MakerBot Digitizer – scans objects so I can bring ANYTHING to life digitally. (In the size range of course) I’ve never done CNC milling or laser engraving before, but I’m ready to dive in and push the limits of what I can make. Got any wild files, project ideas, or tips for a beginner ready to take on these machines? Drop them below—I’m all ears and ready to create some epic stuff! 💥#Questions #Advice #Yourideasmatter #Debate

Hi community I am looking for advice about posting. I have been reading opinions, guidelines and everything. I have a basic model, but then I apply different themes to the components giving each model a different look but the basic underlying pieces don't really change. I like the idea of posting different profiles within the same model, but I struggle because the cover model photo is what people see first so they won't see all the themes. What would you do? Separate models so your cover page can reflect each themed version or 1 model with a profile for each theme? If you pick the one model approach I'd love to hear your ideas for the model cover to reflect different themes. #Advice

Anyone have advice on how to create popular models? I just released a (in my opinion) amazing filament cutter but it hasn't received any attention what so ever. I feel like most every day problems already have someone who has designed a solution. Any help? #Advice #Help
