    S4 only does 70c so not worth buying. If you look for deals, there are larger food dehydrators around 100 that will do 90c and fit 3kg spools. Put in a spool holder and you can print out of them.

    A quick dive into some basic photography knowledge. You’d calibrate to RGB as that’s what monitors are comprised of. Typically you’d have to use an external device but the best way without one is http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/. However most people don’t even have professional monitors so couldn’t even calibrate well which makes it’s futile. You’d still get a very large variance in color especially from an average joe just eye balling it.

    The photo itself has a white piece of paper for white balancing. If I had photoshop, I could color correct it…correctly. The only solution still goes back to a relative comparison. Just buy one of the filaments, a cheap spool of pla pro, and it’ll get the job done.

    The colt is 45 so not relevant other than mentioning price. The llamas are 1911 which were also made in 9mm, 22lr, 380 and some others but I can’t find concrete info on fitment. Some say it doesn’t fit but others have swapped parts so it might just be normal 1911 cross-company issues.

    I already have a colt kit that was 300 which is why a ria 9mm kit for the same price doesn’t appeal to me. I forgot to mention the llama kits that are below 100 that I was looking at before that I will likely get

    I meant specifically from aoa. I too own a romanian kit but wasn’t bought from them. It was similar price but came with the furniture and had cut receiver nubs. I think anyone building an ak knows cugir is probably the cheapest decent ak kits.



  • Calibration should have been the first step before printing anything. Every printer needs to be calibrated. Every filament needs to be calibrated.

    20mm cube is too small plus 100mm makes it much easier. If it comes out to 99.88mm then shrinkage is 99.88 in orca.

    Pa6 should be measured after annealing and moisture conditioning. Annealing can cause it to shrink but moisture can cause it to expand.
