We have been working on the training videos this week. We have had a little difficulty finding a program that allows us to do what we want to do.

Dog Bone gcode

This week, I became more familiar with the program Simply 3D. I did this by watching you tube videos. I worked a little with the dog bone g code to try and get it to print every layer horizontally. I think I figured it out and was able to print a dog bone with every layer going horizontally. I printed the sample in PLA so I need to redo the g code so that we can print it with ABS. I had a little problem with the prints sticking to the bed. I fixed the problem by adjusting the z level.
