ABS is not the best for starting out 3D printing, why is this, you have to use Hotter temperatures, and if the printer is not enclosed , the parts could warp and seperate off the print bed. start with using PLA as it does not have any of these issues, but as easy to print with as PLA but as strong as ABS is my choice that I used for my two inmoov robots and nally cat and little nally cat is PET-G no smell and is even food safe.
white for sure.i found pla and abs on ebay.1 kilo for 13 euro per roll. ok ABS in a closed printer.lot of stuff to learn.

Your reply above confused me but I think you thought I was talking about slicing foam.
I meant your slicer, the program that converts STL files to gcode files for 3d printing. The slicer has a function that mirrors a part or stl file. This produces a mirrored part. A left hand in your case. So this means if you start with a "right hand" and mirrored it you would have a "left hand".
hi 3dguy thanks for the explanation.i asumed that slicing had some to do with the printer.silly me.
first my apollegies for not paying atention what members are saying and helping .
thanks all
