Topic: Hello from Richmond, VA

I received my Solidoodle 3 just last week.  There was an issue with a broken thermistor, but I got that fixed with some help from 2n2r5. I am now trying to calibrate but am having issues with prints once they get above the first layer. I appreciate all of the help that this forum can provide.  I am looking forward to learning as much as I can about 3d printing.

Re: Hello from Richmond, VA

Welcome from fredericksburg.  I've had my SD3 for several months now and I'm still fiddling with calibrating. I'm still a novice and have made the usual mistakes as one. Sure would like to stay in touch with others close by in Va.  New print can be frustrating without a fully calibrated machine. Stay with it.
