No, I haven't tried those yet. But I did just purchase SolidWorks and plan on learning it as fast as I can. Since I am a Veteran, I can get SolidWorks for $20 per year.

I have been playing around with some of the printer settings from the stock software and have actually come up with some pretty good results. The DaVinci Pro 1.0 if well worth getting. The aluminum print bed seems to keep a much more even temp control than the glass print bed did. Here is one...

I got my Da Vinici Pro today and I must say they have made some improvements since the Da Vinici 1.0. The Pro has an aluminum print bed, the filament feed is completely different and is a lot easier to load, and the thing that REALLY makes it worth the money is the NEW calibration set up. It...

Haven't posted in this thread in a while and wanted to see if anyone has used the Da Vinici 1.0 Pro? XYZ Printing is running a special for people who have the Da Vinici 1.0 or 2.0 where you can get the Da Vinici 1.0 Pro for only $499 (you save $200). They are calling it an exchange but you...

I have done a couple of Greflex builds in the past but I really want to do one that stands out this time. I also want to document step by step on how I am planning and making it. First of all a fellow RPF member sent me a Replica Graflex to upgrade for him. Next is to go into DEMO mode and...

One of those does not have the brass and is weathered where as the other one has brass and is not weathered. Both of those are awesome sabers. LDM is known for his high quality sabers and those prices are pretty much what you will pay for the saber from other HIGH QUALITY Saber Smiths.

So we are supposed to search his whole forum/website just to see if it is ok for us to make a saber. I don't think so. Most of the people that he has issues with have a permanent block on their browsers to stay away from his site. LOL

Yes, it does have a polycarbonate blade that is removable and once the on sound effect is finished it then has the sound of the sonic screwdriver as the background sound. It also has several saber sound fonts on it too. You can swap the sound fonts and blade colors with just the press of the...

That is awesome. I have just started watching Space 1999 again on Hulu today. I saw all of the episodes when I was a kid and I am still impressed with what they were able to do with the technology back in the mid 70's. I wish I had the .stl files for the Eagles and Moon Base Alpha so I could...

I just got my 1st Da Vinici 1.0 back from the factory being repaired and haven't had a chance to see if they fixed it yet. (just had a knee replacement done and haven't been able to do too much.) My 2nd printer seems to be working fine for now and as always I am still tweaking the settings to...

I can see it now. The 10th Doctor pulls out his Sonic Screwdriver and makes it larger and into a lightsaber (using Time Lord technology of course.) and dueling with the new villain from the upcoming Star Wars Movie. LOL

I have been making lightsabers since 2008 (I have made around 400 sabers so far) and have always wanted to make a Sonic Saber but never got around to it until now. I have at least 8 more I am working on now and I am designing one for the 11th/12th Doctors Sonic Screwdriver too. It is way more...

I am looking at the 11th and 12th Doctor's Sonic but it will be very difficult to make it into a saber you can duel with. I haven't given up on it yet though. LOL

There will be several more available in a few months. This one turned out so awesome I am going to make 10 more. The interest thread link is in the original post. I was super rushed doing the crackle scheme and what should have taken 2 to 3 days I had to do in only 5 hours. The next ones...

Here is a Sonic Saber I made based off of the 10th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver. This lightsaber is fully loaded with options from 11 different sound fonts to being able to change different colors. Here are the specs: Igniter Mini “R5”Sound Board with TruDrive and X4 RGBrB LED 20mm 2 Watt...
