catkom3 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Each to they're own Sean, personally I prefer Windows because it is compatible with everything else and I dislike touch screens as well, Mouse and monitor are my weapons of choice, especially my wireless finger mouse always there when you need it, Regards Joe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Joe. glue?? whats that all about, the leveling is ok, but it doesnt mention glue, as for tyres, i may have a goat some point , but i prefer rubber tyres which means casting , and right now, james tepers small implement ones look to be a spot on match size wise anyway.

catkom3 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Should only need the bed levelled Sean, Then print one of the objects on the SD card, they're pretty much good to go straight out the box or after assembly. Regards Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catkom3 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 No no no, do a test print first from the gcode files on the SD card you'll find it in the wee bag with the filament samples in a little white SD card holder try one of them first, Also I've just noticed there are supports under your drawbar you'll need to enable supports for that print.

Gav836 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Yes, liked the look of the direct drive head on it after doing research about printing flexible filaments. That was my thought, already found some 1/32 parts for beet harvesters on the various 3D sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
