Bryan, does having an enclosed case help a lot with warping? Seems like no mater what I set my heated plate to I still get warping. I have tried the hairspray and abs juice. I tried printing a 12 in tent stake and it will work, but it was really warped. thanks for any hints or suggestions.

I have no hard feeling about the way you felt at the time. In fact I am kinda glad that it worked out that way. It has increased my respect for someone who has taken the time and resources to develop a great product. it has also helped me to dive into doing some designing is cad. it will be a...

As I have stated I am not here to compete. I have a printer and asked, felt like the trust was not there so I backed off. I have no plans on selling any. It is for myself. I am just starting with the low and slow, and love tinkering with lots of thinks. I think th RD3 is awesome, and almost...

Tried that then mentioned I had two printers a 10 in and 12 in. He became leary that I would try to sell them, I guess. Then I just backed off. I needed to learn cad anyway. I was willing to put to writing that I would not sell them. As I get going more I hope to add more knowledge of what I...

I believe he does, but he would rather sell them, and I understand why. He has spent a lot of time designing and tweeking a good product. And I know it is not fun not being rewarded for it.

Ralph has engineered an excellent product, and I was very close to purchasing one when my frustration set in. but, the purpose of having a printer is to print not purchase. so I took the challenge to use sketch up and do my own. I will admit it is sloppy on the clearances, but it is my first...

I believe I will go with Tom's. Working on my UDS this weekend, along with my aluminum smelter, and RPI security camera.

Are there any dampers that will fit the new blower that ships with the HM 4.2.4? i have limited time to design and print my own, so i am up to purchasing one.

finished mine on 6/13/2015 looks like it is working. just got my drums for UDS. hope to have it going next week. thinking about the damper and how i want it designed, something with a simple disconnect.

what 3D programs have you found to work best for you? including being able to add threads? I have 2 Makerfarm printers up and going. Now I am trying to do some designing.

i missed the optional parts. i am purchasing the thermistor. my question is does it mater which leg goes where and what is the green wire in the picture on post #3?

I look forward to trying to print this. Should be getting HM Monday.

Tom, do you have the files for the In-line rotary valve? I could not see a link in the first post.

Basically I do a lot of tinkering. "A jack of some trades, a master of none"
