Ever wondered why the surface of a MakerBotted object has tiny ridges on it? Ever wondered how to smooth those ridges out? Find out how what techniques we're trying on this week's episode of MakerBot TV! Thank You: Colin Butgereit, Christopher Boynton, Aljosa Kemperle, Matt Griffin Thingiverse...

Noob question.. Is there an easy way to adjust the makerbot replicator resolution from within ReplicatorG? It's printing at 0.3mm by default?

Yep, just adjust the layer height in your print-o-matic settings when you are generating the g-code.

What about tumbling the parts like they do with CNC'd parts to remove the tooling marks. If it works on metal, it'll work on plastic.

Awesome! I've felt for a long time that these printers were great for building somewhat un-finished products, but finishing would become pretty important. Glad you've addressed that!

I thought I had read something once about using acetone... Used sparingly, my understanding is that you can use it to sort of dissolve/melt the ABS ridges so that the blend together? I would love to hear thoughts on that approach. As far as toxicity, I don't know if I'd prefer the dust created from sanding or the fumes given off by acetone. Extruding plastic filament is bad enough on its own! :-)

are there any video that acutally show the printer making something ?
I have seen is videos talking about were they got their idea for making a robot or this one about painting a pig.
I want to see start to finish project, time lapse of course.
