Re: nGen ?
Just got my first ngen spool and had to try (pretty busy at work atm) ! It's for a functional part that goes outside, that's why ngen. I tried with 235, 75, FAN OFF (thanks amedee), 50mm/s, 0.2 layer height. Turned out pretty well, layer adhesion is ok.
Let's hope the 85 degrees c are enough to withstand the summer sun...

Re: nGen ?
Did you get massive stringing? No fan.....good idea

Re: nGen ?
no stringing at all, but it was a sort of solid round piece with a bracket so there was not much stringing expected anyway. Coasting was on FYI.LePaul wrote:Did you get massive stringing? No fan.....good idea

Re: nGen ?
I'll try that tonight...I'm printing a round hub piece with spokes that have a hole in the middle. Maybe I'll get a good result !

Re: nGen ?
I have today off so I am experimenting with nGen and Cura 2.1.2
First thing I noticed is the fans turned on despite being checked off in Cura.
Trying one of Neotko's shroud pieces as a test, since it has mounting holes

Re: nGen ?
I'm impressed!
But how can I make those holes a bit cleaner?

Using the settings from ColorFabb for retraction

Re: nGen ?
Interesting on the first layer. Maybe retraction is too high. It seems to flip the edges up on portions of the layer. A few more layers now flattened it out

Re: nGen ?
I'm not sure what coasting does but my nGen print was alright , not super. A few gaps. But this stuff bridges well, minimal 'hairs' around the circle. And compared to the PLA prints, the back is a lot nicer
PLA on right
It took a lot longer than the PLA version (4.5 hours while nGen took 5.7)

Re: nGen ?
I've done a number of these parts now...and it seems only nGen can eliminate the "hairy" effects that PLA shows on the bottom of this piece.
I originally did 8 with 25% infill with PLA but I decided to make some with 50% infill since the aluminum frame attachment spots could stand to be beefed up. I need to check, I know the temperature tolerance is higher with nGen, but not sure the strength is any better?
