    Either of those will work. Print a case for them and you are good to go.

    Hello Geof,

    I think that's a bit much for me to handle right now.. I used to be handy with computer parts and stuff, but now days.. I want something more ready to run.. lol Thanks for the suggestion though! :)

    Now I am searching in the Upgrade section of the forum and see how to add that second fan or the duct for the layer fan like you and Mark mentioned. :)

    Totally understand its a lot to take in all at once. I'd do the xxl (and did and still use) as its plug and play. Fan ducts are all over thingiverse. I suggest to try a few out to find one ya like then worry about wiring in the 2nd one :)

    Late to the party, but I agree on the filament that came with the printer. Mine was about 14 months ago, but that blue stuff was the worst I have ever seen. I buy Inland brand PLA at micro center for $15/kilo and it's FAR better print quality.

    Well, if that came from the blue robo filament, then you are the jedi master of settings adjustment.

    I honestly can't tell the difference in most PLA's. including the Blue Robo's PLA. They all print fine for me normally...with minor tweaks. My main problem with some of the real cheap stuff is how its wound on the spool ( gets tangled on itself a lot including the robo sample lol )

    This is a pretty old print but was from the robo 3d sample Blue PLA

    Both the joker and batman was the last it of my robo filament sample. The joker was a 2 part print. Batman was 1 with supports. Haven't cleaned them up yet. @KTMDirtFace that looks great!
