Paul,

No I've never done articulateds. Those programs look pretty interesting though.
my kiddo was asking if I we 3d scanned an articulated model if it would auto do it and I said no. So was looking for programs to do that. I need to 3d print my pets at some point too.

Supposedly Bambu has an add-on in the slicer for flexi stuff if I remember correctly.
 
Thanks, we have the creality K2 though. I'll check in their slicer since I don't use it that much.
Cura? Or which slicer do you prefer?

I'll look at those. the one that came with this is just crealityprint. her school has a printer in the steam class and can create all kinds of models but they do not allow it to be accessed outside of school to home print etc... this winter maybe I can figure these things out in my down time. still trying to finish an elevated walkway through the woods before the snow.

I don't know if it still is but Creality Print was originally based on Cura, although supposedly inhouse developed. They used to use a Cura fork so I don't know how much is really 'inhouse' developed. Chinese companies tend to be a little loose with IP laws.
 
I think I may have asked this before, forgive me, acclimate up to 350+ par or just place these two at 350+ par? I emailed WWC after I ordered them what par they were under and they never got back to me?

Anacropora and Stylos can usually handle light but I'd say start then about halfway up for a week and then move them to the permanently spot.

Thanks Tim!

I almost always acclimate high PAR corals for a week or so unless they already look bad (then, I just toss them where they will end up and let them decide whether to live or not).
