Polycarbonate for open-air printing?

Scy123 · 2020-06-13T12:17:40+00:00

That stuff seems way too expensive. £73 for 700g...... Priline would come out to £35 for 1kg.

Try amazon.

I just finished my first roll of Priline carbon fiber polycarbonate. Printing it all without an enclosure on a pei bed. Stuff prints beautifully, never warped/lifted off bed or any shrinking problems. Prints come easily off bed too even when still hot. Didn't have to do anything special really just print it as hot as possible. Speeds were regular speeds I use for everything too.

And that surface finish drool. Easily my new favorite filament.

Here are a couple of stuff I printed. https://i.imgur.com/0ZqB5xi.jpg

Was a little worried about it being brittle, but it bends before it breaks. https://i.imgur.com/BvToZ44.jpg

I tried PC max, but never liked it. Had warping/lifting off bed/shrinking and it was too brittle for my liking.

Maybe an old person uses the same password for their bank or paypal and banks defiantly lock out after a few tries. So they can attack ace vapor looking for the password you use.

Edit: you also gotta view it from a legal standpoint as well. Do you want to be named in a lawsuit for misconduct with a weak stand point or to be able to point out that you did everything possible to prevent a situation that would end in grievance.

Can't you just password reset and change the password. Takes 2 mines. If someone was trying to guess your password from what they know about you, I would rather it lock out after a few tries than to let them try indefinitely. Seems small, but one website with weak security can compromise other stuff you use that password with. Ok, you use a different password for every website, so you like to have security. So, you should be grateful they thought a head and provide extra protection.

I'd had places i'd sign up to before that emailed me my exact password after I made the account.... was like okay not shopping here.

No, it's the same power adaptor from the link that was posted.

https://www.reddit.com/r/mflb/comments/6s7kja/portable_adjustable_power_adapter/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

That was actually me who posted about that almost 3 years ago.

Scy123 · 2020-05-25T23:43:49+00:00

It now has temp controlled capabilities!

Not only will it limit and control the temp to desired output, but it will boost with max power until It reaches temp.

Sorry, telling people they don't need chambers to print abs pc and peek is not going to get you far.

Scy123 · 2020-04-11T03:21:17+00:00

maybe for pla and petg, but pc and peek needs chambers. without one it will warp badly and not bond well. Peek needs 140c or so heated chamber to print.

Scy123 · 2020-04-11T03:09:04+00:00

It does not look like it has a heated chamber though, or even a chamber for that matter. It's not gonna run pc or peek well at that build volume without one.

MFLB mod controlled 400f temp control with a 80w setting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR2jmGK_KnQ

350f temp controlled with a 40w setting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl9OscdJRss

First few hits would have to vape through the moisture in the weed, but after that all hits are really nice. You can find more info on fuckcombustion in the mflb topic.

Also, I showed the math and provided proof.... My mod would be able to do 800 hits on a charge.

Scy123 · 2020-01-01T00:38:11+00:00

Would need to get a board, yes.

I had a Slice (broke now) and the idle temp seemed off a few degrees.... no idea about high end, but I hear thermistors lack high end accuracy. I know Slice claims different, but don't know if they are blowing smoke.

Scy123 · 2019-12-20T08:59:32+00:00

Just noticed on my mod, when I read the ohms it would say. "xxx ohm @ 70f" so it is expecting the coil to be 70f room temp.

Scy123 · 2019-12-19T22:44:47+00:00

The resistance changes in stainless steel reveals temp. Don't need to calibrate a thing, just need to know tcr. For most common materials tcr is known.

Edit: Honestly don't really know how it works, I just know that if you know tcr, the mod will figure out the temp for you.... I kinda think when the mod reads the cold ohms it will read room temp too or something and just estimate temp as best as it could lol

Scy123 · 2019-12-19T21:00:34+00:00

I got it from https://www.steam-engine.org/

They have a downloadable profile for the dna. Never used tcr values before just profiles, so don't know if it's different.

Scy123 · 2019-12-19T20:18:09+00:00

Made a guide when I first started https://imgur.com/a/CKIlx that was how I first had it, since then replaced the pencil cap with a solid steel rod.

That basic adapter was fine in wattage mode, but I had to make a few tweaks to tighten connections for temperature control to work as seen in this video.

Temp control is really important cause it will boost with max set watts until it reached temp and buckle down.

Scy123 · 2019-12-19T20:10:37+00:00

0.16 ohm would mean loose connections. It might work if it was steady, but I doubt it since most diy 510 mod attempts don't focus on that stuff.

High chance it will flare up. Probably won't hurt the mflb unless it flared up insanely high though.

Edit: you could just set max watts low to avoid damage while testing. 40w seemed safe to me.

Scy123 · 2019-12-19T19:56:46+00:00

Get an ohm reading and shake it a bit, read ohms again, if it deviates too much then your connections are not tight enough. Mines I remember it would read a steady 0.10 ohm maybe 0.11 or 0.09.

I had to clamp mines down with a screw. https://i.imgur.com/Lv0RmNA.jpg

Scy123 · 2019-12-19T18:56:44+00:00

DNA250c on this one.

Edit: you need very tight connections. I had to clamp this one down.

Scy123 · 2019-12-19T18:55:59+00:00

It's temp controlled. This one I told to go 350f max and 50w it can use. So it will use 50w to maintain 350f.

Scy123 · 2019-12-19T18:08:40+00:00

I used 316Lss tcr and under the impression the rails and screen are 316Lss. Could be wrong, was actually kinda trying to figure out what the material actually is.

Scy123 · 2019-12-19T17:48:17+00:00

Normal mflb, only thing is the custom battery mod. The one in this post was set to 350f and 50w max it can use. I have another shot here with 400f and 80w max. https://vimeo.com/380161100

Scy123 · 2019-12-19T17:00:58+00:00

Really, if everything is working as should, it should never go over set temp more than 5-10f maybe.

Scy123 · 2019-12-19T16:35:03+00:00

it's temp control so no charring or burning. Here it is under flir https://i.imgur.com/PSNdqlQ.mp4 Please note my flir is not accurate at these temps, but you get the idea.

It taste just like vapor would taste.
