The Prusa Mk3 is nice because it has a flexible, textured, removable build sheet that greatly helps part removal and Prusa offers one of the best slicer programs available - for free. 3D printers are very temperamental and slicer settings can be confusing. There is also much information...

Thanks albie0803 The upgrade to v11 does work. -Uman

Help >show license information Does "KEYSHOTFORALIBRE Version 11" appear ? This would confirm you have the Alibre verison 11 and not trial version.

Max please provide Alibre timeline on KS11 and if the Keyshot subscription model will affect Alibre going forward.

The issue with opening large drawings has been resolved. It was discovered with V24, large drawings take considerably longer time to initially open; approximately 30 minutes of inactivity. After the first opening and saving of the drawing in V24, subsequent opening time was less then five...

update 211210 reloaded V23 and problems in V24 are not experienced. I noticed V24 issues only with large drawings, 7+ sheets (20m) This happened on more than one drawing, unrelated and large size. Smaller size drawings did not cause lock-up problem. Trouble ticket opened. -Uman

First couple of hours with V24 and I am experiencing problems with model exploded view editing and opening large drawings. These models and drawings were created in V23, unrelated and frequently edited. The model exploded view editing would not allow certain subassemblies to be moved as a group...

I have experience this behavior when parts, such as nuts and screws, are downloaded from McMaster Carr in STEP or IGES files and placed in model. Do a "find part in explorer" to find culprit. -Uman

Alibre listens to the users; this is why I've been with Alibre Design since 2004. -Uman

Has Alibre acknowledged this issue yet? I am really hopeful Alibre releases an update to correct this soon. update 210121: PM sent to Max

Is this a common problem with KS10? and has it been resolved? I have not updated to KS10 yet.

Only if you want results like this. This part is 8 inches diameter. PETG; Solid print, 100% infill. Print specs: .4mm nozzle, .3mm layer @ 150 mm/s What use to take 5hr with standard hotend now takes 3.5hr with Mosquito Magnum. Note the texture build plate; the part face against the plate has...

Which ever printer you have, you want a high performance hotend like a Mosquito Magnum. High performance hotends can double or triple the printers max volumetric speed; this is the rate the hot end melts the filament and is usually the determining factor for print time on large objects (small...

I use the textured PEI build plate on a MK3 and print primarily with PETG. Since the MK3 has a magnetic build plate that is removable, the parts pop right off with a simple flex of the plate. I have printed large parts with tall walls out of PETG that cover the entire build plate area and...

3Dprinters are evolving and the features I look for are speed, precision, part appearance, part removal and printer cost. Most printer produce accurate prints and minor faults can be adjusted out with a good slicer. But most printers are slow, painfully slow. Bed heat up, print speed, bed cool...
