I will preheat it (190°C 60°C) and then press "`Print File`" and select, then it starts for a second, gets to around 11% and stops and shows "`Preheat PLA`". The PLA is already preheated - it is coming out of the nozzle.
Any help would be app... |

Is there any system to print on a 3D object (e.g. ink jet). I need at least 300dpi. Black in the first instance, but color woul... |

Is ABS a better material to use for structural parts of a 3D printer, as opposed to PLA?

I am using 1.75 mm cheap PLA bought from eBay and have also had problems of filament oozing out of the print block.
, what would the length of the carbon fibre rods be?

We've just added a touch-plate to do Z-probing, which works nicely for a single probe (I just want calibrated height for variant bit-lengths, not bed-leveling, but I think it amounts to the same thing).
