3D Printing Forum

Well I dunno if my bed is too hot or my filament is...I am used to setting the bed to 60C and the filament prints the first layer at 215, then 205 for remaining layers.

I wish I had a meter to measure how hot the bed is really getting.

You need to livestream it, @Neotko !
I want to pick up some spanish cuss words

I think my first time at it was a bit too heavy...it looks like a church's stained glass window

I mentioned elsewhere, I thought I would give the AquaNet unscented/extra hold brand a try. It's interesting to have a transparent glass bed again! I've become used to the cloudy surface the diluted Elmer's Wood glue gives. The reason I am trying this is for some reason, the mirror my FT-5 uses seem...

I keep trying to surf the content on the UM forum but it is just...so...slow....for a very long time now.

You should have seen the looks I got at the drugstore buying extra gold hairspray from the printers!

Well I have something very odd going on...despite a good coating of diluted PVA on the bed, I keep having adhesion issues. I cleaned the mirror off yesterday, scrubbed it good and clean and applied a new coating (10 parts water, 1 part Elmers Wood glue). This same recipe works amazing on the Ultimak...

Izzy and I can't wear one....a bit folicly challenged....

What about when those belts settle in and wear a bit/stretch?

True! That's why I have been so cautious about my Creality CR-10 and claiming it to be "awesome" or anything like that. I've cautioned my friends that it's a cheap Chinese printer...QC seems to be lacking on many of these. But the issues usually aren't too hard to sort out. It's equipped with a bunc...

My biggest issue right now is the start/stop/z-seam....Cura handles it better, Simplify3D not so much.

I watched for a while, he was pretty angry that some things were missing (8 or so screws)

These China printers lack some good quality control. My CR-10 had metal shavings all over the z screw and was poorly packaged (print head not strapped down/secured)

I thought I saw a livestream on YouTube tonight of someone assembling one. I'll see if I can find the link

My hat's off to you....anytime I have tried to learn C, I become totally ADHD...not an easy language to learn!

Well I tried something else....it can be read on my FT-5. Just not the Ultimaker 2+ So it isn't a problem with the card itself

All I can think of is the Ultimaker can only display so many files on its display/firmware?
