Re: Super hard nozzles - Test pilots

I need to clean off the tip, the carbon filament made the thing black!

I was very, very impressed at the layers (as you saw from my pictures above). I have a little bit of blotting on the top of my print where those bumps should be....not sure that was temp to high or not?

Re: Super hard nozzles - Test pilots

Good news! Printed nice

Bad news, my print is leaning backwards a bit

I wonder if the heated bed platform cover rubbing on the back wall is to blame?

Re: Temperature control & fan speed

I'm printing now. No fan. Temp set to 256 and seeing it bounce around from 255 to 257. Nothing wider than that so far!

Re: Super hard nozzles - Test pilots

Well I had to adjust the bed height screws pretty high since my limit switch can't go higher. And wow this stuff can be messy. 256c seems to be the magic temp to stick to the build plate

Here we go!

Re: Temperature control & fan speed

I've only run 100% fan but tonight I plan to try out XT-CF20 with No Fan...I'll see if the temp bounces around

Re: nGen ?

Another thought....this morning was slow at work so I thought I would search for some nGen reviews and see what others thought. What's weird is some of the reviews, one from Adafruit, showed a lot of troubles with bridging and getting some really under extruded type results with white (i always have...

Re: Carbon Fiber battle! ColorFabb vs Proto-Pasta!

I wish he would have done some side by side strength tests and a bit more empirical research. I think that's the big thing most carbon fiber people are curious about...which is stronger

But, I was interested to hear the Proto Pasta prints at a much lower temp

Re: Fan shroud upgrade

You may have already tried this...but...I wonder, if you look on eBay, there are those China Ultimaker 2 fan shrouds with fan. Has anyone tried using that on a UMO print head? I have a spare print head from the dual kit, so lining up the threaded rod holes would be easy...not sure the opening for th...

Re: Fan shroud upgrade

I have been trying to follow the thread you have at Ultimaker and here....since my next bit of testing in the XT-CF20, I'm curious the status of your dual shroud?

Re: nGen ?

Good to know

So then I am going to be back to my original problem...use the (crappy) vinyl fan shroud included with the UMO or fabricate something :)

Re: Super hard nozzles - Test pilots

I have had several such ruby-popping incidents with previous prototypes by the way, even figured out a method of getting the ruby clean enough to reuse it :-) Completely useless reaction but... I actually read "pooping incidents" and shortly thought that would be an awesome, yet painful s...
