WOW3D Printer

Wow3D Printer (http://www.newstarway.com/)

Don't turn the power off with the printing bed at the top! The bed will crash to the bottom

Supposed to be an Afinia H480 clone (http://www.afinia.com/3d-printers)

Looks a lot like http://3dprintingsystems.com/products/up-plus-3d-printer

Windows 7

- driver installs as "Free Motion Card : 3D Printer@FreeMotion"

- 3D Printer "UP! Plus/60629"

Problems noticed so far...

• printers did not ship with North American plug
• Windows software from Afinia.com installs malware
• No assembly or calibration instructions included.
• One printer, the vertical axis is broken, judders when trying to rise.
• if print fails, you need to power-cycle printer and restart software, otherwise next print fails and steppers overheat.
• Up software and Afinia Software would not recognize printer on Simon's Win 7 box. Looks like drivers are missing
• Mac software seems to default to a ridiculous amount of supports
• Adhesion to the print bed seems very poor. Probably an extrusion-temp issue. Simon looking at how to tweak.

3D Modeling

• Blokify looks interesting. But it's ipad only and has in app payment for more features.
