Well yesterday I got my 1/8 tan super sport from Jh and I ordered more. they had very good prices and good quality rubber. figured I might as well start another free flight project. I’ve got a GB sportster here type D that I’m excited to get started.

Well, the scout is going well I’m not too pleased with the covering but it’s decent. got some great tips on how to trim it and should be putting on the top wing tomorrow. View attachment 241436 View attachment 241437 View attachment 241438

Very well done! U know me, I am a big fan of the GB-D. Any more pics of the Scout?

Finished Overstreet's F-18. What a beauty! Unfortunately, the weather is really cold and crappy here in the Pacific Northwest, so it may be a while before I can paint or fly it. Easy build overall, but I did need to use OhioRC's Youtube tutorial on how to build the rudders. I also needed to build a little launch dolly (plans stolen from here), as I don't think I can hand launch it myself. Callie Graphics will arrive in a few weeks, so I'll post another glamour shot before she gets all beat up.

So I haven’t been able to figure this out on my own or by watching videos, so I figured I’d come to the community who knows a surprising amount of information on 3-D printers. I have an ender five, I did a first print and it came out wonderful but I switched computers for using Cora. All my settings are the same, but it just won’t print. It starts up, but none of the filament is sticking to the build table. I’ve tried temperatures distances speeds qualities, raising the build plate. and yes, I am using adhesion. I’ve tried three different kinds, but the filament just won’t stick no matter what I do. I tried everything I could find or figure out and it’s still not sticking. What do you guys think I should do?

First troubleshoot with a different slicer. I reccomend orcaslicer. Then try a different filament, some degrade over time. Then I can help more with the results

I had to go back to an older version of CURA. I could not make anything work with newest version. I'm running V4.13.1 right now with no issues.

I would also recommend starting from scratch with your bed leveling(Tramming) and set up. Also review your G Code set up for the printer model in CURA. You may need to edit or add some start up commands.

Are you running a CR or BL Touch?

Well, here’s the thing I’ve only had this printer for a week and have only had it running for a couple days. The guy who sold it to me had it working in like five minutes with the stuff I have so I’m not sure how to get any of those things
