Default Re: 3D Printer?

Lots of printers to choose from, lots of software also. I used autodesk 123. It was free and not complex. Sure there will be a bit of learning curve. I am now using autodesk fusion360. Very powerful software.

Pigeonfarmboy, I also have an afina, I use glass with the purple glue stick, no raft for a base print bed. I did have some problems at first. Make sure the fan is not blowing on parts , but cooling the nozzle. On mine I just switched the white printed part on print head to blow the air away from print. I don't know if they still have that design or not so you may not know what I'm referring to. One of the biggest improvements I did was to build a plexiglass enclosure. Keeps the atmosphere warm inside and no air movement while printing. Very reliable and haven't had any issues since.
