I've used ABS for some items, but it usually gives me a bunch of trouble. ABS it better at higher temperatures (like in a car). I've also used clear PET. It's best for items that touch food and water because it's pretty much the same material as water bottles. My son used it to make an insert for his nalgene bottle. |

Re: Index of 3D Printed Stl Files
One more question - maybe a 2-parter. Is Slic3r the best program to interface the printer and computer or are there other options that work as well or better? Also, am I correct in thinking that I would only need Blender if I'm going to design my own or adjust an existing design?

My other 3d printer uses CURA. CURA does what slic3r does--turns an .stl file into a g-code file. Then the Ender 3 display computer takes that g-code file and controls the printer. I think I like CURA better, but they both work. To design/modify 3d models, I use Blender (or CREO if it's an engineering file). Other people like TinkerCAD, Meshmixer, or Zbrush, or other programs. Blender has a steeper learning curve, but it's free and it has a lot of capability. |

Creality Ender 3. Amazon's Woot! site had them on sale yesterday for $160. Figured that was a good enough price to finally get into printing. What's nice is that my wife kinda wants one too to print stuff for her daycare class.

Re: Index of 3D Printed Stl Files
Ender 3 is what I have. I had just printed off a Baby Groot for a client and the very next print the bed seems to have warped.
But, just got a glass bed replacement in today! Facebook has a several great Ender 3 support groups. |
