Cura, of course will display a preview showing how the plastic is laid down. I always look layer by layer at this before deciding to save the g-code. Then be sure to "export the project" and save the setting use so you can do it again. But I find if a RELLY want to see how the print will be made before it is printed I look at the layer by larger plots using "octoprint". Octoprint will analyze and plot the g-code Finally I never expect 3D prints to be perfect. With my timing pulleys I'd put them in the lath and us a borring bar to make the holes clean perfectly round before glusing them to steel hubs. then mount eh pully in the lath and do a clean-up of the eterior. I would nt suggest doing this on oter 3D printing lists but here I assume overone own some machine tools. So put the part on a lathe. Same for screw holes and such, I ream them to corect size r install threaded brass inserts. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
