Don't know why I never thought of this before, But Creality have their own forum, Either them or someone on the forum should be able to help,?? https://forum.creality.com/category/35/creality-ender-series Regards Joe.

Strange one that Sean, Maybe the UK 3D print guy's will come up with something, Mystery to me ,??? Regards Joe.

Just to try and see, if you can print useing a USB cable that might shed some light, If it does print by the USB then it must be a problem with either the SD card or the card reader, I never use my SD I always use my SUB, unless it's a long print and I need to go out then I'd transfer the print onto the card. Regards Joe.

Bigger bugger, I noticed the other day someone ask the same question on 3D printing UK, I was going to share that with you but only noticed now you are the auther of that question, Hope you get it resolved soon, Regards Joe.

There's no mention anywhere of it closeing Paul, And I found a photo to looks like it is just a single piece of plastic, https://www.carpet-farmer.com/product/marge-models-1-32-meiller-tipping-trailer/ Regards Joe.

If memory serves I think Barry has a collection of Stotz coloured tractors, Theres a new one comeing from FM-Modellbau, Can't see anything about it on their web site, https://www.fm-modellbau.ch/ And not much about it on their Facebook page either, There will also be a Bollmer coloured green version, Regards Joe.

There's a group on Facebook 3D Printing UK, you've probably seen them at some time, A lot of knowlageable guys on there, And quite a few who aren't, The guy's that know the score reckon if you HAVE to use raft's then there is something not quite right either in your slicer or printer set up, But it's your printer and your prints if it works for you then I'de just keep going,PS what speed do you print at, I have mine set at 50mms but reduce that to 15 for flexible. https://www.facebook.com/groups/669068986490743 Regards Joe.

Cheers Sean very different from the system I use, I would have printed each piece individually, Do you get them off the raft easy enough, I've only ever used a raft if the base of a print hasn't been 100% level, And regularly don't bother with any build plate adhesion at all, but that does depend quite a bit on which type of filament I'm useing, The curves at the bottom of the cab frame have come out well hardly any stringing at all, well impressed. Regards Joe.

Nice Sean I like that, yep the shape of the top of the canvas cab would be difficult to sketch up in CAD, You made a good job of that, Be good to see it when you get it finished. Regards Joe/

Ooh that could get tricky, Maybe work better as three seperate prints, Cab top, cab skirt around the cab top, and two V shaped prints for the rear sides, ?? Regards Joe.

This kinda thing. Regards Joe

Green Massey 8S.285, That's a big no from me, Regards Joe

If you like I can try a sample roof useing white Petg I can't try TPU as I only have that in Black and Yellow but Petg is semi flexible,I would also be curios to see if it was shiney or matt plus I've never printed Petg that thin, what size is it, Regards Joe.

Yea 210 is about as good as it gets for most filaments TPU is a bit higher at 240, have you tried lower infill settings 100% is very high most folk use only 15%, as for that roof part your doing is it a hard top or canvas, If it is canvas white TPU might be an easier solution. Regards Joe.

I was surprised the other day to see this Ktwo Rodeo Curve trailer taking grain away from this Lexion 750, Never seen a Ktwo around here before probably because the original Kay trailers were produced locally in Milnathort 2-3 miles away, https://blog.scottishagriculturalimplementmakers.co.uk/a-kinross-trailer-maker-kay-trailers/ Regards Joe.

Ok cheers for that Sean, I prefer the clarity I get on my 24" monitor and the pointer on my mouse. Meant to say yesterday, That red filament I used I haven't used in well over a year so when I went to tweek the end to get it to go into the extruder a little bit snapped off, I just kept breaking bits off until I got a flexible bit then cut that as usual and it printed fine. Regards Joe

Those should turn out gorgeous printed flat, Just wish you used Windows then I might be able to help more, I just quickly knocked this up in DSM, it's the roof panel on one of Steves diecast Duncan cab's the lip around the edge is 1mm thick, and the rest is 4mm with all square edges rounded as are the corners. Regards Joe

I've just been dodgeing around making the odd piece here and there, my Hooglosser trailer really need a few fine details and primed and painted and my Pacton flat converted to a walking floor need the back door locks printed and fitted, Sean in Cura if you type in ironing in the search facility you can enable Ironing which should smooth out the highest layer of your print, although looking at those roofs I really think you have some other issues going on, Did you print those flat on the build plate,??? Regards Joe

I don't think this will help much as they all seem to be very thin on the ground, But the Deutz-Fahr version seem's to have the same back door, Same model really just moulded in a slightly different colour, https://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/516107140/Siku_Deutz_Fahr_FE_570_forage_wagon_Scale_1_32.html Regards Joe.

Diecast Masters took over from Norscot / USK and really improved the quality of they're Caterpillar models, But I can't see where their target market will be for this 1/32nd scale truck from Peterbilt, Most folk in the UK at least would be familiar with Mack and maybe Kenworth, But Peterbilt will be a bit of a stranger to most folk, The US farm model collector prefers 1/16th or 1/64th, And being a left hooker with a very long wheel base the only thing you could legally hook it up to would be the Meiller half pipe tipper, I was hopeing to post up a link to the video but couldn't find one. so here are a few "grabs". Regards Joe.

Anytime Paul, Regards Joe.

I occasionally see a tri axle trailer around my area belongs to a contractor but I can never get a photo of it to try and delve deeper, There is the odd three axle chaser bin's but they are only ever full when chasing the combine, I see via Instagram Hay farm's at Easter Rhynd have they're new JCB 8330 on their Richard Western chaser in place of the Fendt 939 that's usually on it. Regards Joe.

It should be C&U reg spec at 8 tonne per axle Paul, so 24 tonne, not sure that's legal though on UK roads, Their web site is being updated just now, But got this off they're Facebook page, Regards Joe.

All good now Andy, Regards Joe.

Anyone else getting this message, started yesterday I think "The search index is currently processing, Activity stream results may not be complete" Regards Joe
