Thanks Mal, will look into that.

Mal, thanks for the reply. The extruder temp seems to be set for the PLA setting or by Cura. It always comes out at 210c. As for calibration ! I didn't know that could be done. Do you know how I would go about that? Thanks, John

Hi again,looking for some more advice. Just tried to print off a balsa stripper by 'Workshopbob' When I took the stripper body off the plate it was very flexible and 'dry' looking. It resembled a piece of Shredded Wheat in that the front face started to come away in strings like each layer was not fusing with the previous one. Anybody any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks, John

Thanks Geoff and Simon. Not quite sure what I was doing wrong,maybe I didn't give the leveling process enough attention. Anyway all seems ok now. Got the Spinner made and Grandson gone off to Australia happy now. The new bed arrived and soon got it fitted. Paid attention to leveling and done quite a few little upgrades for my machine which turned out good. So not bothered with the Auto leveler. I will study Cura in more detail re the top thickness. I'm sure I'll get more out of it with practice. Thanks again. John

Hello, having a few problems with my Anet A8. Printed off the little Chinese chess figure which came out really nice. Grandson decided I should make him a Batman Fidget spinner **LINK** Went downhill from there. It didn't seem to finish properly leaving it without a solid top to it. Think its a leveling problem. The tape ripped off when trying to remove it so put some plain masking tape on which just peeled off when it heated up again. Ordered a bed from Maplin as suggested by Geoff. Also thinking about one of these **LINK** Are they any good ? Can someone please explain what's involved with changing Firmwear ? Is it a simple job for an old git to sort out ? Got a feeling I'll become a pest with all these questions Thanks, John

Ordered mine on 21st..Can't wait.

Thanks for that.Very helpful. Being a cheapskate I'll give the Corona DS239MG's a try. Thanks again, John

Hi John, I've just acquired one of these in a swap deal. Can you tell me what servos,esc,battery and motor you used please. I agree it does feel very flimsy. How did yours fly? Is it still in one piece? I'm hoping to 'tame' it down a bit until I get used to it,then up the throws gradually. Thanks, John

So, where do we send our files to ?

Thanks Baz, Will enquire with Horizon. Suppose they will tell me my rxs will be no good then? Starts to add up to a new set perhaps. John

Hello. I see that spektrum gear is the most popular radio in the recent poll. I bought my dx8 in about 2011 and is dsm2. Soon after dsmx came out. Just wondering how many still use dsm2 ? I have had odd glitches,including one resulting in a total write off. I don't know for sure what caused the write off but I never feel at ease using the set. Can it be converted? Will I be able to sleep at night if I do? Should I go Taranis? Would like to hear from others with similar concerns .. John

Hi Barry,are you building a Flitetest model? If so Its just card as far as I can tell. John

I notice that SMC do all Flitetest kits. Reasonable price as well..
