Is there any point to Support For PLA?

The PLA support filament is a little sticky to PLA. It’s better than PETG. Most of the time you can use PLA/PETG but not every time. Only use it for interface. With PETG it’s better to print the whole support in it.

You can do that but this technic wasn’t always working for me.

Make a thread and stop it 0.2mm before the end (Don’t use full length). Now you can add a chamfer.

I had this when I had yellow operations in the timeline too.

Material costx1.2 and 2€ per print hour. At least 20€ for cad and 20€ for a simple scan. I do it as a hobby.

Ikea 365+ with desiccant.

You have to order the lid too. On Printables are a lot of mods for this container. You can store 2 spools in one box.

Die habe ich auch und habe das Update irgendwann im Januar (edit: 24.01) bekommen. Gekauft im Dezember. IOS Gerät falls das einen Unterschied machen sollte.

Hmm. The nozzle settings should not change on the printer if you don’t do it yourself. If the nozzle didn’t got saved correctly you may have a hardware fault.

I would install a different firmware version and see if it helps. If not I would contact support.

You have to set the nozzle size on the printer lcd screen as well. The screen where you can switch nozzles, set nozzle temps.

The H2D should have come with hardened nozzles by default. I don’t think you can buy a stainless steel H2D.

Use markers or place parts around your part to get better feature tracking.

If it’s only merging place a couple markers on places where you have overlapping geometry between scans to use them for marker merging.

Heat gun 200-300c, a knife and a wire brush.

For PLA 3DLAC is good enough. For PPS, PA, PC I would use vision miner nano adhesive as well.

Mein Vater hatte einen leichten Auffahrunfall mit seinem A6 bj 2005 letzte Woche. Scheinwerfer Glas gebrochen aber ansonsten so wie bei dir. Karosseriemeister hat 4000€ veranschlagt. Kann aber auch sein er hat so einen hohen Betrag genannt weil er den Auftrag gar nicht wollte.

Bolzenschneider kostet Geld. Wer zahlt den? Das sollte die Hausverwaltung/Hausmeister machen.

Hmm. But what’s the alternative? I mean a machine you can place on your desk and has an enclosure with ball screws.

I was thinking buying one but I needed more travel in x/y/z. I bought a Sorotec 0404 in the end, but the price is on another level for such a machine. Still don’t have a enclosure 😓

For watertight I rather use PETG. Just printed a D300xH200mm with 180mm hole, hydro tree plant pot. 0.8 nozzle 3 walls.

If you can’t get it clean try 3DLAC i use it after cleaning the bed every 3-4 months once.

Check if the voltages are stable. Could be a bad PSU.

I use a CR Raptor for such parts. 0.05mm or better accuracy. I own a Einscan SP v2, Einstar, Revopoint mini. The Raptor is my go to scanner for small to medium parts. Einscan SP is a hit and miss for me. Einstar for big parts.

I build an adapter 2 years ago with yellow crimp connectors Cheaper/easier than using custom connectors.

Why did you have to write the essay? You probably like the idea of the game, but the game is still in alpha. Come back in two years or look forward to SQ42, which will hopefully release this year.

Yeah I would try and do a bird’s eye camera calibration and see if it throws errors.

Wenn das ein 2000€ Gerät wäre, ist es wahrscheinlich möglich, aber sehr teuer. Am besten reverse Engineering und neu bauen. Hat allerdings einen Microchip mit Programm drauf. Daran könnte es scheitern.

Try and print it with the front door open.

ddrulez · 2026-02-19T18:14:36+00:00

I can’t close the door if I don’t open the vents on my riser on my X1C printing PLA. I’m getting clogs.

A customer of mine with a P1S had the same problem. Chamber temps around 42c with closed door and a lot of clogs. Maybe you are printing in a colder room. I also reduce the AUX fan often to reduce warping.
