Hey all. Due to priorities and frustrations, my Mendelmax 1.0 has been idle for almost 2 years. It's a really original one, among the first, built before Maxbots was even shipping kits.
Getting back into it finally, and I'm looking for a little advice.
First, what is the latest in slicing technology? Are people mostly using slic3r (my latest version is 0.9.8 and it's up to 1.7.7 or some such now)? Or is there something newer and better? Cura?
Second, what are people using for extruders? I have a Wade's modified that I printed, with a makergear 0.35 hot end, which works ok. I'm printing 3mm PLA, in part because I have a lot of it, and also because I've never attempted any other materials. Is there some new "standard" extruder? Anything that's taken over the market due to some improved performance or something?
My printer is running, and gives decent prints. It used to frustrate me because of dimensional issues trying to get printed things to fit together. Interior dimensions were always the hardest.
Thanks in advance for any
