All my computes are running Windows 10 now and I've noticed that settings keep reverting back on them as well and it's really annoying! Back in the days when I used to frequent internet cafes, there was a program developed by an anti-virus company (forgot exactly, probably Norton?) that cafes used to protect their PC's from viruses or users manually installing keyloggers and stealing peoples credentials. Basically, that program would be set and the admin would say, OK from this point on, whatever new info is added will be scrapped on the next PC restart. It would be pretty useful for us if Windows 10 will keep messing our settings up. I wonder if they still make that software.

1. I have been using IPA which I put into a small 125ml spay bottle. It works fine to spray onto the quartz or the glass window at the front of the printer.
2. I have had the printer "stop" during a print a few times. How many Mb's are the files you were printing at the time? I have noticed it is when I have 2-3 large (40-90mb) STL's files loaded in CW. CW has not problem "slicing" the build but I have noticed it uses a lot of memory as someone else previously mentioned. Also I have found CW becomes very sluggish after printing 4-5 builds, so now I close CW and re-open it after every couple of prints. It only takes a minute to re-connect and $h.
3. You're using RhinoGold/Rhino right? - I don't use the STL wizard in RG because with CW there is no need to "union" all of the objects like prongs, etc. Instead from the command line I type "mesh", in the dialog box that pops up you can adjust the slider to reduce the size of the mesh. I generally sit the slider around 3/4.
1. Does it matter what the concentration is? Most IPA's are about 70-ish percent but I found a 90-ish percent one at Sams Club. You think it'll clean better?
2. The size of my models were pretty small, between 7mb to 15mb. I was printing one model at a time, no batch printing when it happened. I'll be running $h again just to be cautious. I'd rather lose 2 mins homing than 2 hours of printing.
3. Yeah, I have RG. Awesome, thanks for the tip.
