I look forward to seeing the pattern cutting stuff. Working on a 3d print for a adjustable (0-50mm) swing-away edge guide and a adjustable (20 - 50mm) bias folder.

I will look forward to seeing them when you get them done. The bias folder just made me think how easy it would be to print up an adjustable guide for strap folding. Might just have a play with that .....if I ever get the time.

When I started out it was commonly said that a heated bed wasn't necessary for PLA so I didn't bother with it, just glass and a glue stick. Worked fine most of the time but depending on the shape I would occasionally get curling or the item coming loose part way through (that was annoying). I finally decided to use the heated bed (60*C) and no more problems. I still use a glue stick on small items, just in case.

I too am curious to see what you come up with for your edge guide.

Have you seen the low prices for the small DLP printers these day with fantastic detail, I also saw some leather stamps from a SLA printer with incredible detail

I need advice never used anything but a 0.4 nozzle to date, but looking for more detail so considering using a 0.2. In theory it should offer improved detail but much longer print time, but has anyone had any experience of using 0.2 and did you find a large improvement or just a minor one. I know its easy to change but with playing with setup it can take some time, so if anyone has had great results and success I am all ears
