Welcome

Welcome to the 3D Printer section of the Forum

The idea is to have a central area for Questions ideas and requests for information,advise or even for printed parts.

Over the next few weeks Myself Hozza and Rommie will be writing some guides highlighting the different styles of printers and the differences in styles of Controllers as well.

We hope to do a tips and tricks guide as well as well as a list of known good suppliers with links.

If anyone has any requests for individual guides please post a note in the manuals section of the section and we will see what we can do.

Obviously we haven';t got extensive experience of all the different systems but can usually find information or can point you in the right direction of were to find it..

The first Guide will discuss the different styles of printer (Cartesian and Delta bots) and their pro';s and con';s.

Hehe, everything';s made up. Doesn';t mean it';s not useful

Dougal just tried to message you but your inbox is full about flying field message is as  follows

That';s great let me know when you intend going and I will pop up, but let';s wait a month or so when its a bit warmer. Would be good for a quick fly when the nights are a bit lighter.

I finally took the plunge on Friday. I ordered a Geeetech Rostock 301 mix color 3D delta printer in the sales (£266). Not sure if I';ve picked a good';en but it ticks the boxes for me and gets decent reviews.

Doug, I believe Chris is gonna rope you in to helping us assemble them when you come over soon BTW Chris is ';Chr1s'; on the forum, we need to harass him in to posting, he';s been a member here for ages!

Hi there,


I';m new to the world of RC and quads, and since I am now hooked I am also thinking about venturing in the world of 3D printers...


It';s great that you guys created a forum section dedicated to 3D printing, and the part I quoted above is every newbie';s dream (methinks)!


If you did in fact crate any actual guide, comparison or collection of tips & tricks, is there a chance that they can get pinned at the top?


Personally, I think it would make it much easier for inexperienced people like me to find relevant information, and by extension to avoid asking repeated questions 


Many thanks again for sharing your experiences and advice, I am sure they';ll save me a lot of money and facepalm moments! 


Cheers,
