[QUOTE="RockIt, post: 3696030, member: 143965"] To all those w/3D printing experience printing your builds... 3D printing is obviously a finicky mistress and an art all of itself, constantly learning and tweaking build/model parameters. I recently finished a build of ytec's Fallout 3 laser pistol and was given some zenworks 1.75mm zenworks translucent filament. I usually use 1.75mm hatchbox, as since they're the same diameter, assumed it wouldn't differ when extruder. Boy was I wrong! Never got even a single subassembly piece completed because the extruder kept skipping when it attempted to feed the filament through. If both are ABS and theoretically the same diameter, why the heck would there be SUCH a difference? Thoughts? I'd like to actually use this damn translucent stuff - I've got a couple projects (like the SHIELD night night gun) and a pile of LEDs just waiting to roll. [/QUOTE]
