Phew.. all sorted.. I uninstalled eportal and re-installed.. then followed the link2ict notes about checking the 'execute' option for the Jakarta handler mappings. There was no mention about this in the Advanced learning notes!

Thanks, I'm now trying to restore the whole eportal directory from a windows backup.. Do i juat need to stop IIS and the eportal services?

Hi, How do I go about replacing it?

I'm having an issue with ePortal after the upgrade. Everytime I browse to the url the browser pops up asking if I want to save index.jsp. I have tried different web browsers.. and getting the same error.

We have 9 boards available, they suffer from calibration issues so we have decided to replace them all. Looking for £60 per board. Collection would be from 8th -10th April.

Re the Hairspray.. I'm sure any old hairspray wont work.. it has to contain a certain ingredients... look for Vinyl or Colopymers on the can..

For software.. Autodesk 123D Design seems easy to use .. and theres an iPad App for it.

Simon, Have you tried printing without a raft? you may not always need one... Take a look at ProfTweak .. it lets you modify the MakerBot profile settings.. Nothing Labs (Rich Olson): Introducing ProfTweak - a MakerWare profile editor

Have you had a look at Tapestry? the Reception staff use it here.. Tapestry Introduction

Have you considered the health aspects of ABS filament? I would recommend the PLA option. Toxic fumes from your ABS or PLA desktop 3D printer making you sick? | Leafy Green Planet

Have you had a look on the RoboSavvy site? RoboSavvy UK Store Once our DT room is ready we will be looking at a MakerBot too..

Just came across this on the App Store: Modio ? 3D printing app for iPad Looks great for Primary kids creating robot models etc. Once you have finished your model it places everything on your buildplate; just browse to the IP of the iPad and download the .stl or .thing (Makerbot) file. Will try this at home on my printer and update results.

Thanks..but I was looking for some code examples of the arm being controlled by the Pi. It's a shame you cant use Scratch to control it.

Is there any info available on using it with the Robot Arm? example commands etc..

Another drawback for the Cube3D is that you have to buy their own printing filament.
