I'm using Cura 3.6.0 and it doesn't recognize my printer, and when it comes to stuff like adding profiles I might be over my head. Not a computer guy! That's one of the main reasons I bought this printer, because the CR10 is sooo easy to use I thought I wouldn't have any trouble with an SLA printer from the same maker. Boy was I wrong!!

I sent that video to creality so hopefully by Wednesday or Thursday I'll hear back. I'm 99% certain that New Year's Eve and Day as we celebrate them don't exist in China. Their New Year is in February, right? Personally, I think the problem is in the slicing software and I asked them to send me a new USB stick with the proper English language software already installed. Hopefully they'll want to try that rather than having me return it for a refund. If I do end up returning this one I'll scrape up the dough and get the peopoly. I should have done that in the first place, but they offered no discount for Black Friday and Creality sold me an $850 printer for $484 with free shipping. Of course, the LD-001 is still on sale right now for $499 so maybe I made a bad decision when I chose the creality over the peopoly.

But I really want to thank all of you for trying to help me sort this out. One of the things I love most about our hobby is that it's mostly made up of really terrific guys that will take the time to go out of their way to research this kind of stuff for a guy they've never met. I try to do the same whenever I can and when I send guys little parts from the spares box (or something similar) they always ask if they can send money and most of the time (on the little stuff) I tell them to just pay it forward. We'll all get a chance to help someone before long and it's always great to give back to a hobby that gives us so much.

Happy New Year to all, and I wish you Terrific Tankin' in the year to come.
