Also my first blog post since switching over to Simplify3D. I'm very happy with my purchase, still a few tweaks needed but much much better than before.

Thanks dude much appreciated

I want to try it on the best settings but just one is going to take 18 hours :eek:

I do use the best slicer(simplify 3D) so that helps.

18hr is not that long ..

Just start it with some time before to watch it start so you know its started ok and working through the the night. Hope your printer is quite

They look awesome deuse, what speed, infill etc like on them?

I like to keep an eye on my printer to, but longer prints are they way forward with my Octopi set up I have a camera set up so I can always take a look when I'm away.

I'm loving simplify3D just go to learn what all the settings do and play around.

Thanks dude.
In simplify3d I use medium and 10% in fill. I don't touch anything else just my printers profile.

Would anyone here be able to help me out. I've got a small test piece to print to see if a couple of ideas will work and I really don't like the idea of paying the £7.50 or so postage from Shapeways for something they'll charge £3.50 to actually print.

Its 72x19x8.2mm and 2.3089cm³ (According to shapeways) will happily cover material cost/time/postage

You got the stl file? has it been through netfabb(or something like that) to see if all is ok?

But thanks for replying

Hopefully, first time I'll have done any CAD work for 3D printing. My experience is with Sheet Metal and Milled parts.

If this works then I can move on to having my full design printed
