Still using it.  Did you see the portrait head I did of my partner's son for his birthday?

The app I used - Zephyr lite - struggled with his quiffy hair, but broadly produced a good likeness.  I've also created a replacement battery compartment lid for a vintage toy, a replacement liner for a Victorian salt and I'm awaiting a day's photography to try & flog the vessels I've been printing to craft & design shops.

I didn't, that's quite impressive. Are those bits at the front supports?

Yeah. Flashprint generates them automatically.. I assume all the print applications do.

Yeah many do but they look particularly interesting and better designed. Might look into that software.

It's free.  Flashforge-specific, but only, I think, to the extent of the print size and number of print nozzles: you place your print model within a box and Flashprint warns if it's outside those parameters. As long as you keep an eye on size & position I imagine it would work OK with other machines.
