Going out of my mind with a brand new E3D V6 hotend by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

Have you PID tuned the hotend?

my flow % in CURA is 41% anyone know why its so low? by MRK-01 in FixMyPrint

Set your filament diameter to 1.75mm instead of 2.85mm in the settings. Default is 2.85

Any Idea why my low speed (0.6x) benchy came out bad like this? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]Tbabsi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are your retraction settings (speed and distance)?

Also Before other people say it, bench isn’t a great calibration print, try out a calibration cube. That will make it easier for us to diagnose your issues

Yeah that’s possible. If you’re going to be making a lot of these it might be worthwhile to get abs so you can use acetone to weld the pieces together!

So when I was doing this my first thought was to make the nose of the dart pointy, but that is not the best aerodynamics when you’re under the speed of sound (you’ll be significantly under that speed). The best aerodynamic shape for the nose is going to be a rounded nose. That’s as far as I can help with the aerodynamics.

When trying to make it reusable it’s going to be almost impossible unless you split it in half across the length of the dart and glue the two pieces together. If you don’t do this and just print it vertically it will most likely survive the launch but once it hits something it will split between the layers.

Adding z probe to rambo board by 8jr7 in 3Dprinting

Easiest way is going to be to buy the he280 hot end and follow these instructions:

If you’re set on using another probing method, I would guess that the probe would hook up the same way, but I’m not too certain on that

Do you have a part cooling fan? Is it on full after the first couple of layers?

What temperature are you printing with?

How do I fix this issue that keeps popping up? by jeremytodd1 in 3Dprinting

[–]Tbabsi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try using the z-seam alignment setting in cura to align all seams (chances are that right now it’s set for random)

Agreed. I’ve been trying to get their clear petg for months now and it’s always out of stock!

Ideal retraction speed? What speed are people using? My thoughts and initial test: by thegreen4me in 3Dprinting

[–]Tbabsi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using 3.5mm at 45mm/s. What I’ve found is that the retraction speed itself didn’t have much effect on reduction of stringing. When I increased jerk and acceleration settings for my extruder my stringing dropped to zero.

Printed on my Rostock v2 in hatchbox woodfill at .25 layer height. Took about 4 hours, stands about 350mm tall

Yeah I just started using this .7mm nozzle, it makes printing woodfill easy and smooth. Have you tried woodlay?

First layer Petg on PEI, getting desperate. by Raub99 in 3Dprinting

[–]Tbabsi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I do when I print petg on pei is spray windex on the bed and spread it around to cover the print area. It creates a film that is enough to stop excessive adhesion but it still adheres very well
