Let's Get Jiggy with some Printer Tips!
1. Adjusting the bed (multiple times using a spacing card.)2. FIXING the bed (possibly needs to be done on Patrick's printer)3. Hairspray4. Alcohol cleaning
The Micro Swiss MK10 All-Metal Hotend Conversion Kit* The factory hot-end is actually PLASTIC lined -- This means you get much less stable temps* With a metal hot end, you get more consistent melt* You can extrude faster (you're not losing as much of the heat)* You don't get filament "retraction" which can really mess up layers** Uses a "Thermal Barrier" -- By using two different metals (stainless steel and aluminum) you can keep heat in the lower portion, and conduct heat away in the upper portion.
Andy Say- 3D Printer Thoughts"I am sure there have many discussions about 3D printers here.  But I am tossing between two printers and looking to get some input from the group.
The first printer is the LulzBot Mini 3D Printer.  My local Microcenter has them in stock at $1,199.  The second printer is the Monoprice Maker Ultimate 3D printer for $699 (of course kicking myself as I missed when it was on sale about a month ago for $549, and none of their codes work for 3D printers!).
Anyway, for the price difference, is there really a much of a difference?"
