Hello Mike, new user here. Trying to get your files for R2 to my solvo 01 pro. Any videos on how to select and drop onto removable SD card?

Michael Baddeley

Hi Tim, yes, all three are needed :-)

Hello Mike. new supporter here. i have been printing the body sections of the R2MKIII. I am interested in which dome files I need. The simplified looking dome found here: https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21ADKfrqUz55r3P7E&id=E84CB8FD47152532%2143959&cid=E84CB8FD47152532 has three pieces. Do I need all three?

Hi Michael - do you have a source / brand for PLA+ in the UK? I grab my PLA from either 3dfilament or 3DQF but neither stock PLA+ atm.

Michael Baddeley

It’s a few years :-) yes I’ve had no issues with PLA+, love it. Keep them away from extremely hot places but no issues.

Hello Mike. Looks like it's been a few years, I was wondering what your conclusion is on PLA+ at this point? I have printed the dome in PLA+ and was thinking about switching to PETG for the body, but I like how this pla+ is working out so far. Should I do the body in PLA+?

3D Gloop is an adhesive, that chemically welds parts together, it is a solvent and an acitvator, holds much stronger that super glue, but it is kind of expensive. They have a formula for PLA and PETG, they also have abs, but not sure if they are going to continue to carry it

Michael Baddeley

Yeah, love it, and it seems to sand better :-)

my whole droid is in 3dfillies pla+ so far amazing stuff!!

Peter Richards

That is what I have been using. For gluing, use a 3D pen and weld where you can, it makes stronger bonds than super glue. In Australia 3dfillies PLA+ is extremely strong, and prints beautifully.

This is good stuff I have been using this for my build

This is great to hear! I've been wanting to make a purchase of filament this week. How does it compare to high temp pla?
