Updates on Working with the Solidoodle 3
In the video below, I describe some of our recent activity regarding optimizing printing for our Solidoodle 3 3D printer including: printing with ABS using an enclosure (no ducted fan) printing with PLA using a ducted fan (no/open enclosure) using … Continue reading
Getting Great Prints with Enclosure on Solidoodle 3 Printer
As mentioned previously, I’m enclosing our Solidoodle 3 printer to try to get better results through minimizing warping and parts not sticking. As a slight aside, the Cubestick on glass is now working very well for sticking. The trick is … Continue reading
Cubify’s Cubestick “Magic Glue” for Non-Cube Printers?
We’ve had some trouble with prints sticking to the print bed over the last year and a half since we acquired our first 3D printer. It’s mostly a matter of choice. It’s not that we want poor adhesion, but we … Continue reading
