Thanks pelgrim

I was playing around with inkscape and managed to do it, though it did scale it up around 4 times. I imported as JPG under path > trace as BitMap > edge detection > save as SVG > import into 123D > construct then smart scale. See attachment.

It is evident that you need really clean edges, but not bad for a start. Will look…[Read more]

Nice one pelgrim

But how did you do it?

Ive installed Inkscape but there doesn’t seem to be any option to import a PSD file. I tried importing a JPG version and saving as SVG but cant import it in to blender or 123d.

Don’t understand exactly, I assume you mean go to print profiles click save as give it a name change the number of perimeters from 2 to 10 - 15, but what does this do. Haven’t used this side of the software yet.

Can anyone recommend what grade emery paper to use to sand the bed (can you use both sides of the bed?)

3DMan

Thank you all for your advice.

I have now manage to print it, but I don’t understand how/why it worked.

As I said it was a blender file not of my creation (I’m still learning how to use it). In order to print it I opened the file in 123D created a 50 x 50 x 0.1 mm plate and positioned it so that .05mm of the plate was in the spiral. Sent it t…[Read more]

Thank you all for your responses, I have resolved the issue.

I contacted TS and I was advised to reprogram the eprom on the reel, this is simply done by going to the filament setup first icon top right select the correct filament from the drop-down list then click “write to reel”, found down the bottom.

What are chances of someone doing a step by step noddy guide?

Starting with how to show hidden files !

I have found the Normal_robox.gcode file but next to the Normal.statistics. But how do you find out which layer to stop it on?

Ive downloaded Repetier Host (looks interesting)

Why don’t you keep it simple with HD “Hudson Developments”

Good luck
