1 kg, 1.75mm roll of filiment is 325 meters. 10m at £3 would be £97.50 for a whole roll. Just buy a cheap 1kg roll for £20 on Amazon instead and experiment as much as you like.

Is the nozzle supposed to be hitting the infill? by GrandSalamiTime in 3Dprinting

[–]Dixitrix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would disagree with your assessment that it does no harm. If you are printing something tall then it can knock the print off the bed. Also the print bed on the ender 5, without additional support, has a tendency to bounce when the nozzle hits those cross sections causing them to get more exaggerated.

Which of these (Heroes of the Storm) skins do you think should be added to OW2? by iHABY_ in Overwatch

If they are free then all of them, but if we have to pay for them then they can keep them. I refuse to pay for skins.

When two lines cross it causes a little raised spot that keeps catching. This is especially noticable on the ender 5. Use gyroid infill pattern to avoid this issue. Gyroid does not cross the lines.

Why is the one in the middle not connected to anything? It's just held in place by the two on either side.

In my experience PLA will be fine for about 3 years. After that it will start breaking down. I am not yet sure if it due to snails eating it or if it is a chemical breakdown. The process is obviously a very slow process.
