First off I dont know HOW I am gonna use the forum if Icant see a Text imput box. this is all I seee. I guess Ill wait on my huge update on my AR project untill I can see what I post . .. Concider this a place holder for when the dust settels and We can get a deacent Skin on the forum.

Well now that have clearance to do this with work.....Let me vent why I am SO AFK from the forum.. I was hired back to My old place of empolyment to work on the F35 Helmets for Rockwell Collins. I cant for obvoius reasons say much deatail about what I do for the program. Its...

I got my old job back At the "ONI" Lab ;) Ill just leave this here >> ;)

FYI Meshmixrer does VERY bad at mesh to solid .. Try blender .

boolean in MM is VERY bad I just combine and I use NEt fabb to heal in to one part . back and forth . its not fast but works 123D design can combine manafold solids and it works well but needs a beafy PC or mac to handle a larger file .

I would assume any OS is supported if its all web based .. https://makeprintable.com/ Looks GOOD to me ! Ill throw some probem files and seee how it handels the tought ones. as Netfabb is not mac or *nix friendly this might be a good work around for the POSIX folks out there Here is...

Thank you! I see * everywhere* people assuming when they see a 3Dp as a title that they are gonna get a flawless print.... Pics and specs are worth everything. what was the layer hight. what was the infill. how thick are the walls. and PLA ABS or other . ABS can be glassed...

the makerbot is a VERY overpriced for its specs. Its not a heated bed machine. it cant do ABS Its a single nozzle so it cant do supports. it does not take off the rack Industry standard parts . MSRP of 2700 Every other printer out there Ive seen is a better value. heck my...
