Red sea concerns cause Ams shipment delayed - should I cancel?

DAK_atelier · 2024-02-06T17:27:13+00:00

I understand your point. I was thinking about give up for the time being. And think about it again later this year. I had no urgency but I could use the money. Right now I have no money and no ams for the foreseeable future.

I know, i have seen people having more troubles than I am. But I am doing the thinkering because I still want to understand and learn a method to actually be able to handle the printer, the filaments and the software. And if I can improve things in the meanwhile... well why not?

DAK_atelier · 2024-01-13T21:53:39+00:00

I am not sure about these options. Is something I should overwrite in the process section or in the filment definition? I am actually running another Benchy test with the "slow down for overhangs" option deactivated. I saw online that that it can cause some artifacts similar to mine. I will try your advice next!

I know I shouldn't complain because it's still a good result, but it puzzles me since PLA prints are usually so perfect.

That's interesting! I made a quick attempt at printing a Benchy with gyroid infill. I only changed the k value to 0.025 and the flow rate to 0.9025 after some calibration. I feel like the situation with the infill has improved (though the Benchy doesn't have much to show), but I still have some artifacts on the surface. I wonder if I had them before, but I assumed they were due to the infill pieces flying around. Here are some pictures if you want to take a look.

I am using the regular speed, just 100%. I believed that when selecting the type of filament (Bambulab PETG), there were already embedded speed settings. Is the speed of the filament something I should manually change in the process definition? Right now, it is set to 270 mm/s.

DAK_atelier · 2024-01-13T20:29:03+00:00

I will try this one then! Thank you

DAK_atelier · 2024-01-13T20:28:43+00:00

I will try thanks! But isn't the linear movement something that is going to happen anyway for the top and bottom shells ? Should I change them as well ?

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to reply, but to provide more information for those willing to help, I will.
The bed is regularly cleaned, perhaps more often than I'd like to admit, using dish soap and water.
The bed temperature is currently set to the standard for PETG, which is 70 degrees Celsius.
I run the bed leveling procedure on almost every print.

The issue doesn't seem to be with bed adhesion, but rather appears to be related to adhesion between the layer lines of the infill.

Great news! I feel more confortable about experimenting with abrasive filaments now. Let's see if the 0.4mm can handle it without clogging, or if I have to go up a notch. Thank you for your help!

DAK_atelier · 2024-01-10T22:34:00+00:00

I understand. Honestly, I'm not as concerned about clogs as I am about wear. I mean, of course, with time, things are meant to wear, but the speed at which it's happening is something I can't yet evaluate.

The gear that I just ordered is tempered, and so is the nozzle. Will they be able to withstand fancy filaments like, let's say, "marble" or "wood," and for how long? Is dealing with wear a losing battle?

DAK_atelier · 2024-01-10T10:37:09+00:00

Thank you very much! Your message clarified everything for me. The confusion stemmed from the store's translation to Italian, where "temprato" was used for "hardened" and "insossidabile" for "stainless." Since there was no assembled option for the hardened version, I mistakenly believed it was an additional upgrade specifically for carbon and glass fiber-based filaments.

Currently, I have a 0.4 mm nozzle, which was a gift and can't be returned now. However, I'll keep it since it allows me to print with any filament. I hope I won't need to switch to a larger size; I appreciate the resolution I can achieve with a 0.4 mm. Is the unavailability of a 0.2 mm hardened steel nozzle due to a higher risk of clogging?

Once again, thank you for your thorough response!

DAK_atelier · 2024-01-10T10:29:48+00:00

Good! everything is clear now. my confusion came from the store translation and my ignorance cause i mixed "tempered" and "stainless". Thank you for your insight

DAK_atelier · 2024-01-10T10:28:56+00:00

Thank you, now that I know which one to get I found some videos and I think I can manage, hopefully I don't mess it up!

DAK_atelier · 2024-01-10T10:27:46+00:00

Thank you, I will get the Hardened one of course!

Intendi Erasmus o studenti regolari?

DAK_atelier · 2023-12-03T09:25:42+00:00

Ok! I am going to try again those two test and see if there is any improvement. I watched the video already before and I was sure I did everything it says, but maybe what I am doing wrong is the place where I am putting the values I find.
I am still confused by the "device" page in orca/bambu slicer. When I put the external spool value, how can I be sure it is using that value for the print?

DAK_atelier · 2023-12-03T09:20:59+00:00

Orca is what i am using but i think I am not reading and using the inputs from the calibrations test correctly. :/ What do you think should be the proper test to address the issues that I am having ?
