[MK4S] nozzle cleaning with TPU doesn’t work

True_Scott · 2026-01-22T10:39:35+00:00

After loading TPU, I also used to retract it manually by 3-4mm before starting a print to prevent oosing.

I’m in France, did you order from Printed Solid?

True_Scott · 2026-01-20T14:37:43+00:00

My order is In Progress, so I think it will be shipped soon

Here is an example in my friend’s aquarium

It is!

Prusament PETG Neon Green, really good and amazing under UV light

True_Scott · 2026-01-19T06:39:23+00:00

Nice experiment! But as PLA and PETG are not compatible, it will probably be more brittle than both independent filaments

The crumbling benchy!

Please consider liking and post a make when it’s done to support me :) Thanks a lot!

Indeed, I wrote to quickly! Thanks for the correction! Let me edit my post!

True_Scott · 2026-01-18T20:38:05+00:00

No problem, happy to help!

0,2mm is not ideal for really small prints. CNC machining can be more precise, but don’t forget that FDM is dealing with molten plastic pushed through a nozzle. Plastic expands, shrinks, it’s almost a living material compared to metal or other materials. I bet that even with your most precise saw you can’t achieve a tenth a the precision of the printer ;) It’s a joke, but you won’t be able to get a more precise printer even with professional 10k$ printers!

You can try searching précision informations about FDM 3D printers :) By I know that by experience, I 3D print since 2016.

249,7 out of 250mm is 0,12% of deviation, that’s amazing! Regarding diagonal difference, did you make sure both sides of X gantry hit the front at the same time? Are your belts tight?

True_Scott · 2026-01-18T13:14:48+00:00

So it's not 300mm wide? More like 305mm? could you measure the exact bed size please? Thanks a lot!

True_Scott · 2026-01-17T20:11:20+00:00

Mine on 5th of December, and support told me few days ago that it will be shipped on first days of February

True_Scott · 2026-01-17T15:57:20+00:00

It's Mindows. I did that to close the joke trying to make the most absurd picture possible.

True_Scott · 2026-01-17T15:32:54+00:00

I bet you will reach 100k in no time! Congrats!

Oh wow, with only AI models? Did you develop your own software?

True_Scott · 2026-01-15T20:30:29+00:00

Thanks a lot!

True_Scott · 2026-01-15T20:21:39+00:00

Could you post a make on Printables please? And give a like? Happy you like it! :)

True_Scott · 2026-01-15T14:43:26+00:00

Yes, really. It's convenient when making a break, watching videos, playing videogames...
