3D Printing Forum

Cheers Neotko, I'll add that detail to my little white book
Can see how if a few partials clash then they would block the nozzle, I agree it would probably be better to just use .5 or .6 nozzle or larger.

Are you trying to show that the clog was caused by the size of the 'glitter' particles in Faberdashery's Glaxay Blue? If so do Faberdashery have a specification for the partial size? So we know it can't be used on a very small nozzle size, I've printed test prints with Galaxy Blue and not had a prob...

It looks great, not flashy just nice and simple, I'd leave it as is nice and practical, so sit back with a coffee and a biscuit

I allow users to print off for non commercial use, but if somebody wants to print of several and sell them then that becomes commercial, like wise if from 3D hubs I am approached to print an object I will try to find the origional source and check the licence, if they want several then I won't accep...

I've been doing a little bit of materials testing with various PLA and other materials available here in the UK, using 2.85mm print head, I print the standard UM robot, the cylinder volume flow test and a temperature range test, then correlate the results on an XL spread sheet. My two favourite prod...

Cheers Ivan

Cheers Neotko, I run a UM2 and like your photos I was not satisfied with some of my top layers with what looked like under extrusion, I spent a little time printing a flat sheet and just playing with the extrusion percentage, and came to the conclusion that increasing it to approx 115% gave me good ...

Lol, do we have an idiots guide to the various icons that are used? I'm trying to understand what some of them refer to and the changes.

I rarely use glue stick any more when printing with PLA, I use a good quality hair spray. It gives a very thin layer that the PLA adheres to, you just have to make sure that you have a big enough base layer or add brim to help. It also doesn't cause as much mess on the glass plate, and every 40 or s...

Looks a beautiful nozzle, unfortunately I haven't had a need to use carbon fibre filaments other than an initial test of ColorFabb's XT-CF20. I do want to test some other manufactures filaments with carbon etc but won't have time for a couple of months until I finish my OU assignments. If your still...

Lol, I'm a responsible person, if it's gone wrong I'm usually responsible

That was interesting, I think I am going to look at recalibration get the temperature for PLAs, I think I'm between 190 and 205 for the ColorFabb and Faberdashery ones I have.
My roll of UM Blue PLA has gone terminal towards the end, I now have lots of short lengths.

I respect anybody that runs these sites and doubly so when they are trying to custom format things, one little bit of inconsequential code and marvin is off to top himself! (Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy) we need to give those trying something new time to smooth out the kinks, sometimes smoothing...

Lol, thanks for pointing them out, still trying to feel my way around, by the looks of it with welders googles and gloves

Hi LePaul, keep drinking the coffee
For a future upgrade is it possible for us to have a column which lets us know the number of unread posts in a topic, that we have yet to read etc.
