Ekocycle Makeshift Heat Shield
So we just realized that 3D Systems sent us ABS instead of PLA. We're dealing with it.

Re: Ekocycle Makeshift Heat Shield
So the ekcocycle can print the pla and abs cartridges of the other cubes?

Our vendor said the cartridges were not cross compatible.

We had to take the ABS filament and put it through a PLA extruder to even print. Even then, it had issues and the heat shield was deemed necessary to prevent terrible warping. So no, unless you're crazy like us!

Re: Ekocycle Makeshift Heat Shield
The screen on your Ekocycle looks weird. Did you do something to it or is it just the angle of the photo?
