@pete - Unfortunately “it did smooth a bit painting it on” doesn’t sound as if it is what I am after.

Also the comment by BHudson above about blockages and purging has made me decide against using it in my machines.

@Pete - I am interested in whether the TitanX can be smoothed ‘easily’ with acetone vapor like ABS can? (Sorry but I really do not know what that video is supposed to be showing. 🙁 )

@BHudson - As always your input / advice is great, thank you. 🙂

@Pete - Look forward to hearing the results of the test. (I think it should work, just wanted to ask rather than ‘assume’ such.)

Ordered a reel today anyway, so hopefully find out a lot for myself in about a week’s time. :o)

@Pete - Thanks. Just ordered a reel on backorder to give it a try. 🙂

Now just waiting for those 12 reels of Designer Grey (cough, cough), so I can start printing again!

@Pete - Thanks. Just ordered a reel now on backorder to give it a try. 🙂

@Pete - Thanks, I will order a reel now on backorder and give it a try. 🙂

@simonhoult - Ah well, if its gone its gone, then there is no point looking anymore. But surely Cel would not have only ordered just enough for one days customers orders?

Anyway, I have 12 reels of PLA ordered (which should hopefully arrive tomorrow). So I will work my way through that over the next couple of weeks and see what the feedback is…[Read more]

As Mark Newton says the TitanX is not shown as available in the cel shop, so how do we order it?

Hi all,

Unfortunately the problem has returned at the ‘post-processing stage’, AM just keeps cancelling the print job even before transferring the information to the printer. Under advice I have now also tried out with another desk top computer and a laptop, problem was replicated identically. (Unfortunately I have seen that it is not a p…[Read more]

Just to let everyone know this problem seems to be resolved, though the strange thing is Lee at support and I do not actually quite know yet how we have done it. I will be sending some logs to CEL so that their software boffins can look at them to try and see what has gone on here.

I must thank Lee who has held this idiot’s hand through the…[Read more]

Hi BHuson,

My computer is 17 months old, not quite ancient (well not as ancient as I am LOL). It is 4GB, runs on Windows 8.1 (I will eventually upgrade to the windows 10 I guess).

Do you happen to know what the maximum .stl file size is for any of the various Automakers? The reason I ask this is because I am able to print small files in with t…[Read more]

@BHudson - I have now done I think it is 7 or 8 clean installs since Sunday.

I can print small items using a few grams of filament with no problem at all, but it seems AM just gives up the ghost on larger items, indeed when I try to find the estimations of material to be used producing even small items half a dozen times (i.e. not printing them…[Read more]

Hi Click,

Thanks for your input, I have now tried by upping the heap - still though AM just stops responding just after half way through the ‘post processing’.

I am seriously hoping that there is a way to revert back to a previous version of AM at this stage.

Really, thanks guys for your input, but I think I will leave it there at the…[Read more]

High Pete,

Lee in support has been working on it with the file - he gets it work! AARRRGGGHHH

Just tried increasing my graphics from 32MB to 512MB to see if that might help.

It is always at the ‘post processing’ which it nearly completes then fails. 🙁

I will update here as and when, but it seems to be my computer now, which is not good f…[Read more]

Right, the problem seems to be with ‘post proceessing’, it is during this that the prints are cancelled. (Smaller prints are fine still.)

Any ideas anyone?
