Some, but at much higher resolutions than what is being laid down in plastic. My point is that .stl's obtained from non-openscad src's, are reproduced much more accurately. Openscad's tooth profile for an XL pulley is good. Any smaller teeth dissolves into a 20% fill with almost zero resemblance to the tooth you can see in cura. > You can experiment with STL resolution and slice preview in Cura while > the printer is busy making parts. Am I supposed to be able to write the cura output gcode file to the printers u-sd card while its printing a differennt file? That would be handy, replacing the sneakernet I'm doing now. I have a usb cable ran, and I can see a hint of what its doing but nowhere near what I can see on its own screen. I've not been able to see a dir list from the card. I just took the first circular gear off, and started another copy, took around 13 hours for the first gear. Its stamped '015 on its top surface. As near as I can count, its a 42/1 drive if tooth count / 2 is how you do it.. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
