  I have been keeping a log of MatterControl failures on my Mac with OS X 10.11. It is really annoying. I am not familiar with GitHub. 01-13-19 Exited the program after printing about three layers with no warning or messages. 01-14-19 Exited the program after slicing a file with no warning or messages. 01-16-19 Exited the program after slicing a file with no warning or messages. 01-17-19 Exited the program after printing about 15 minutes with no warning or messages.

  robo 3 1 plus stops printing in same spot everytime

  Hey @humper0891 Is this stoppage always in the same spot or is it in roughly the same area? This is a very important distinction as if it is the exact same spot that would point towards the G-code but if it is a rough area then that may be hardware related in some way. This can be solved in a few different ways but it is important to know which is happening. Do you mind dropping us a picture or two of the failed prints so I can better understand what we are looking at? Thanks!

  Hey @crchisholm While I do not have this information on file we can find it for you. Would it be possible for you to drop us an email at Support@matterhackers.com so we can log the request and find that part number for you? Thanks!

  I recommend you to buy raise3D pro2 dual extruder 3D printer as it's more pocket-friendly and inexpensive 7dollaressay website review and for more stability and reliability as you said above go for Ultimaker 3.

  Well, mark that as a bed adhesion method I had not heard of before. I guess that falls under the comment of "Whatever floats your boat" for printing! If it works then I have nothing to say other than get some ant spray for the summer.

  Hey @3Dken So as you are finding PETG is a bit tricky to print with and for the most part it is going to be rather difficult to stop the stringing. I would say that the best bed to is keep playing with the Retraction speed/distance in conjunction with lowering your nozzle temp a bit. After that I think it is best to adjust the fan speed settings for the part cooling fan. You can always upload a few pictures of the issues you are seeing and we may be able to spot out something and advise a bit further. Thanks!

  Yes I built it myself and have had it running for quite awhile but I guess everything I printed has been symmetrical or just didn’t really think that it was backwards. I’ll have to check that. Thank you

  I have personally used This 3D Multi-Material printer and frankly says this is the best #D printer that I have ever used, but I thing always remember that it will be protected strong Antivirus with the help of Norton Support, they told you the proper way of using this.

  Hey @mnewmen Thank you for your input on this, I want you to know that we have people in these forums so we can gather everyone's feedback and understand where the market wants us to go. We will of course consider bringing something like the Masterspool back in the future but for the moment we will likely not do so. One of the main reasons is that in theory it is a great product with a number of people making it known that it is a great idea. However when the Masterspool came to market it was an option that not many people tried and fewer returned to. We did actually market the Masterspool fairly often and even before I joined Matterhackers I had seen numerous twitter posts and email blasts about it. Those attempts mostly fell were met with silence and the spools did not move. Unfortunately it seems that this is one of those projects that everyone agrees would be cool but once it comes around no one wants to take the time to use it. In the future we may be able to carry a spool that fits the same requirements as before but for the moment we are going to take a break from it and continue to track what the market wants. Thanks!

  Soft PLA and PEI Bed - What's the Best Way to Remove Prints?

  Hey @RussF So my first question is, how close to the bed are you? It sounds more like you are adhering the filament to the plate too well. Mind dropping us a few pictures of the model on the plate if you have any. TBH, too much adhesion is not all that common of a problem for PEI so I am intrigued by this one.

  NylonX vs NylonG What are the trade offs ???

  Hey @TomLuque The two materials are nearly the same except for the filled material being Carbon Fiber and Glass. The guide on the NylonG pages are a good reference when comparing the three major Nylons we carry. I would say that for the most part neither of the materials is particularly conductive as they are not made to be conductive. The Silver NylonG is not going to be any more conductive than the other materials in the lineup. The filler used to color the silver is not going to carry any conductive properties. Sorry for being the downer on this one but these materials are made to be more impact resistance and have a higher tensile strength as noted by the included guide. Thanks!
