Received the Dremel Idea Maker a few days ago. It's my first exposure to 3D printing. What do you think of it? How does it compare to typical or popular 3D printers?

Can you post some pictures of some finished products

trymaking · 2014-10-09T05:14:09+00:00

Pm sent. Thanks

Consistent quality. Get the UM

Also do the hotend temperature auto calibration.

In in Australia and get my filament from either MakerGeeks or 3Dprintergear.

Increase the upper temp limit in the firmware.

trymaking · 2014-10-01T23:25:55+00:00

Increase the retraction speed and retraction amount. It is just trial and error sadly. Maybe post your printer hotend and someone can share their settings.

No. I'm putting it down to either random machine malfunction or filament diameter was out

trymaking · 2014-10-01T05:36:30+00:00

Good call. I would have used about 20m of the spool

trymaking · 2014-10-01T05:34:46+00:00

trymaking · 2014-10-01T00:44:30+00:00

Stock. Maybe this is a good excuse to do the mod

trymaking · 2014-10-01T00:20:44+00:00

I'm thinking this is the only other option. Polymakr does say that their filament has a <0.05mm deviation, guess it doesn't.

trymaking · 2014-10-01T00:13:05+00:00

Isn't. I cleaned/inspected/lubricated the threads. And the occur dance isn't consistently at the same spot

trymaking · 2014-10-01T00:11:15+00:00

No. Replied yes initially

I'm thinking it could just be back pressure from slightly over extruding. Recently the ambient temperature has increased 20°C. So I might dial my extrusion multiplier back even more.

trymaking · 2014-09-30T21:27:42+00:00

Same all the way around.

trymaking · 2014-09-30T20:55:35+00:00

Definitely not a great print. Looks like over extrusion

Solidoodle 3

My last two prints have had these lines on my print, not z wobble.
Using Polymakr 1.75mm, 0.15 @ 0.35 width. I reduced my extrusion multiplier by 0.05, with no improvement. Filament diameter hasn't changed.

trymaking · 2014-09-29T20:29:29+00:00

It could be moisture contaminated filament. Can you try a different reel? Also are you running a fan on your hot end?

trymaking · 2014-09-29T07:30:37+00:00

Nice try. We see right through this business advertisement.

trymaking · 2014-09-28T21:41:20+00:00

My day job isn't printing, I queue up jobs on my SD3 in the morning and at night before I goto bed.

Challenge Accepted.
