There is a set of example files somewhere... I can't find them right now though... A created a set of 100 that are included, based on the content of a training book. I'm not claiming them to be good examples, I would probably create them in another manner today ;-) Ahh... found them: https://github....

Calibrate your plastic flow and the gap, or just tune extrusion multiplier in real time while printing the first layer. I'd say the gap might be the problem, lower the first layer (in the slicer) and tune the bed to head distance with very small decrements first (or increments eventually if decreas...

I have the freecad-daily ppa from https://launchpad.net/~freecad-maintainers/+archive/ubuntu/freecad-daily "active" - but this doesn't seem to bring in new updates, since some time back... What I have is... -vvv (Purge & Install today) - is there a new PPA for 0.19? OS: Ubuntu 16.04.6 ...

Never seen the STL file type preselected, the last used folder is remembered while FreeCAD is running; Not sure if windows or 0.19 but here last exported file type is remembered and default folder after opening a file is its folder. 8<--- I have *never* seen it come up like that...
