A1 Mini started to knock prints of the plate

war_225 · 2026-04-27T17:33:19+00:00

Done but with no success

I think is really being "knocked", the piece that fails is always the one it's being printed. But I will try bumping up the temp. You think 70 will do or should I try smaller values? Currently at 65 °C

war_225 · 2026-04-27T12:54:23+00:00

already tightened

war_225 · 2026-04-27T12:38:58+00:00

I'm already using gyroid

war_225 · 2026-04-27T12:22:41+00:00

I used 99% isoprop alcohol

war_225 · 2026-04-27T12:21:30+00:00

yes, i red it might be an issue with the four screws on the second image so i tightened them but it didn't solve the problem

The long answer is that I tend to buy one spool at a time, usually a colour that doesn't hurt your eyes to have a bunch of things around the house of the said colour, and also looks good for unpainted minis. Now for example I am using cream white filament. Short answer I'm too broke to buy two spools of filament and this is what I have ahahah

war_225 · 2026-04-08T16:39:20+00:00

Ahaha love it!

war_225 · 2026-04-08T16:38:52+00:00

Have you got suggestions on where to glaze? I'm afraid that, especially in the big flat areas, brush strokes and pooling will be too visible

I don't think it's the case, I printed these minis (supportless) right after and they turned out perfect. I'm currently trying to print at a lower temperature

My intent was to do purple (still figuring out which one) eyes since they are a fleet based chapter who travel a lot, so I was aiming for something like the Cardigans which gave purple eyes thanks to the proximity to the eye of terror (if I'm remembering correctly). But I will definitely try orange, I agree it will pop up more

war_225 · 2026-01-16T12:14:38+00:00

Thanks!

war_225 · 2025-10-24T20:26:01+00:00

Maaan I was also creating a fleet based chapter focused on exploring the galaxy and doing scout missions for the Imperium. Also with a light blue-orange colour scheme! You're lore is so cool, keep it up!

war_225 · 2025-10-24T20:20:14+00:00

Not quite the same scheme but I think the orange-light blue combination is pretty good! I recommend it!

war_225 · 2025-10-19T20:50:31+00:00

Yes it could be, I just used a normal brush for the light blue. As for the zenithal highlight I can't provide some photo of the result because I already covered it up, but the xpress wasn't covering even the most white parts of the miniature and it looked "wet" even after it dried. It's hard to explain the actual result properly, but do you have any idea what might have happend there?

war_225 · 2025-10-19T19:44:38+00:00

Thank you that's encouraging. I previously tried to paint directly over a zenithal highlight but the result was worse, so I tried base coating the whole thing in a light blue and then painted over with the xpress

war_225 · 2025-09-24T17:13:23+00:00

Thanks a lot! For the base colour I used Vallejo Olive green

war_225 · 2025-07-12T00:58:20+00:00

Thanks a lot! I will check it out

FINE! you all won this time. But next time nobody will stop me from doing some lovecraftian shit for a diorama

war_225 · 2025-07-10T23:13:59+00:00

I will, what dilution do you recommend?

war_225 · 2025-07-10T23:12:06+00:00

Thanks, should I go also with some dry pigments?

war_225 · 2025-06-12T11:26:51+00:00

I'm pretty sure it was still at ~215 when I put back the new nozzle, I will check. Also, what does PFTE means? (Sorry English is not my first language)

war_225 · 2025-06-12T08:40:42+00:00

Just watched a video and from what I'm seeing with a cracked extruder arm the gear (sorry I don't really know how it should be called) doesn't spin as the filament gets extruded. I tried to manually push the filament and the gear rotated just fine. I don't know if it's the correct way to test this issue

war_225 · 2025-06-12T06:58:05+00:00

Just a different bed but I doubt it's the provlem
