A question for Doc or anyone else who prints

Postby 4424ever » Fri Dec 14, 2018 6:38 pm

I’ve saved some little people to down load and I was wondering how far a 2 pound spool is going to last when I start printing. Just looking for a ballpark idea because other files have been saved guides trailers,bodies,ports potty’s :dance: :dance: :mrgreen:
Thanks in advance Dave :lol:

If you use Slic3r, when you save the Gcode file it will tell you how much material you will need.

A standard spool will print hundreds of figures and lots of porta potties. Bodies take the most but you can do 4-5 IMSA GTP cars.

So...be sure to order a couple more colors right away!
