ABS is somewhat challenging to use -- it likes to warp as it cools and shrinks. You'd do best to start learning with the PLA. I've used both, without realizing the initial troubles I was having were BECAUSE of the ABS itself. > So, now ? > I've heard about the keyword "SLICER", but dunno exactly the > function of this kind o sw, though I guess I will need some.

No, the slicer just takes whatever orientation you give it. It can automatically add support material if needed, but it will not re-orient the model in the event rotating it will make for a "better" or "easier" print. > Last question : can the slicers guess the "filled" volume ? > This in order to esteem in advance how much plastic one will > consume. yes, most will give you an indication of how much plastic you need (Cura will give a rough length -- e.g. 1 or 2 meters, etc). > > Err ... another questions.

You have to accommodate for that (e.g. splice old / mostly used spools into one) > sorry another question, LOL > are there DRIVERS for the Da Vinci XYZ 3D printer for debian > ? The CD had only windows drivers ... I've not come across ever needing "a driver" for the printer -- usually just a USB -> UART converter chip on the printer. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEE3asj+xn6fYUcweBnbWVw5UznKGAFAmMYmkAACgkQbWVw5Uzn KGCA6Q//SfahMmLrgxvKTYLnly1vCYy9WDC7oEvvAfkTEGsIMWzCpI/Jrl+FDymp QrFL4LS/v+FfFAER8C4W4J7YmPoI9Fua07q+TMhj3DDSTYikE4AO921cTvgrsp7d fj2c25SsAnKPgAHcLSjlOS018jZGuk+MjxtQU9M8aBwoEEA4k0n+0HcecvLDKda2 j6h1rkFsKaWD95W2SbPvsoufSawT6m8ZGzurMEMmDy9qsCh4VI6Zqjq7PFFurOLL KKjt/oL6DK7D2mKLZD95k1Yodts78KG2aL2yPOegZd8Km2qR5AkPO3G8cNMGFHBp otSFFSO5klyzDm4UFfRcijj2syeXXF26Aof/wF6bvLNsTUlXucOeFlyA25DMtnGo g1kuDLtAQK+20Vv72LWKP3U+TLkoV/8TnMYc70/L4zOyoRilIsWmAyOuiYq8XCWZ F8Lyi/Tp98PpKYw2+c0ZnoVW0knH81uG4qz3msSvBA8FHwNwCHcV+bz3bHmlIpsg l9GomS8ysDRb2lsyVdHLRa47otO/U9KEwPXot3Hye8+74fodOk4b7zpYStIt6XJl B01KG0gFb1cNBDbdCeKS3+3pdlzeTshJSDGibAfIArUhNj5Aw9nAnwxsgfTFUnXf dniMa8UpA3Y+5ztCb76+B3B+XSnWB0cae+8qINQa0aAL+oTs10U= =ZF7B -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- |_|O|_| |_|_|O| Github: https://github.com/dpurgert |O|O|O| PGP: DDAB 23FB 19FA 7D85 1CC1 E067 6D65 70E5 4CE7 2860
