@3D Musketeers, Grant, I would like to thank you for your videos, they have helped me immensely. I am sorry I am not on any social media platforms, other than youtube, as I would SHOUT out to the world about your channel. I also wish I could retain all the information I have gleaned from your videos (old age thing, lol). KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!
As always, thank you! I've had that same issue with PETG! Please do a bed prep video!!! Most people know about glue sticks by now, but there are other things that work as well and are easier to use and clean off!
The second one; I print mostly in PETG, get some odd effects however One print I've been doing a lot of lately is printing 1x2mm thick, 25mmx330mm rods in vase mode, (a project, part of a huge water sculpture) The problem I ran into is that cooling ruins the layer adhesion (and waterproofing). I not only had to slow the print down to 5mm/sec, but also print at an ungodly temp of 180C (recommended 230-260C) for the laid layer to have enough stiffness to not deform when getting tugged around by the print head on the active layer. Granted, this might not work out so nice for that bin, underlayer cooldown being much better with a larger print
Me, too. I (remotely) witnessed their build and was ecstatic to see them come alive! There is an awesome dual-champagne flute that also needs printing.
6:07 Check the speed layer view in the slicer too. I always say to check the temp, speed, line width, cooling, and other layer views so you can compare them to the print results to see if anything matches up.
Hmm, would raising the temperature actually help or hinder with filled filaments? By raising the temp you are lowering the viscosity, that could cause the material to flow around the granuals and leave them behind, clogging even faster. Also baking the filament while that head is parked, so more carbonization to help cause a clog.
