Just as it says. Anyone have suitable test models for me to print? |

Got mine today as well, but haven't been able to get it to update. |

Mine arrived as well. Anybody know how to remove that stupid short piece of white filament? |

Looking forward to getting mine shortly, followed by the problems that a lot of backers seem to be having ;) |

happy to supply a sample file see:- TMP link |

That's not filament, that's the feed tube for the filament. If you manage to get it out, you're fooked. Printing the test object now. First attempt failed horribly, just a bizarre jumble of string. Manually calibrated and I think that the nozzle may not have bee warm enough. A lot of folks are reporting that it pints much better at lower temperatures, 180 or 185. YMMV, others report excellent results at higher temps. E-mail on the way for the STL. Thanks! |

Yeah, I figured that out. These are the worst instructions I've seen since I worked for the federal government. Will try lowering the temp after my network engineer son gets done playing with the filament feed. |

emckinney,
you may have trouble with the models I sent you. I have read up a bit about the printer. The problem is the software provided does not apply supports. That means you would have to draw them in yourself or use an open source slicer. I think it said Cura would work for delta printers. Cheers Brian |

If you use Cura, make sure you get all the machine settings put in properly, build area size, filament size, extruder size and keep the intial speed at a slower pace. Cura works well once you have the settings properly dialed in. I looked online to see if anyone had posted a TIKO CURA profile but couldn't find any after a quick look. You also should check the manufacturers recommendation for the proper temperature to use on the PlA in your printer. |

I was looking on the net and there have been lots of upgrades on the software (about 1 a week). Best to check you are up to date. |
