Re: eSun PLA PLUS filament stings and hairs, oh my...
Wow, nothing like an INSTA fix!! LOL! Thank YOU for the info! Your settings are excellent. My hot end temp had to be upped to 225c but my guess is because I am using the V3 hot end. When I received my M2 there was something about with the V3 upping the temp by about 20 degrees to equal the actual te...

eSun PLA PLUS filament stings and hairs, oh my...

So, STD PLA prints great. I have tried various modifications to the ...

Re: Colorfabb XT printing woes... Need Simplify3D tips/setti
Thanks Jimc! Great info there. Upon much closer investigation (after setting up new suggested perimeters) I have discovered the culprit! My 40mm Filament Drive Cooling Fan runs great until the M2 initializes to start a print, then it just plain TURNS OFF... WHAT?!(!&$@^... So, obviously the first st...

Re: Has anyone found a killer gold PLA filament?
Yes! Sprior exactly, I too have built parts built in copper-fil and bronze-fil, but I am waiting for the $$ to buy a certain rock tumbler to do the polishing work for moi. Researched several ways to 'finish' the parts and saw a rock tumbler that did a pretty nice job given the correct polishing medi...

Thanks all for your replies and info put forth re: killer gold. My apologies for being late with my review as I have been out of the loop recently and wanted to complete my findings in my search for killer gold filament. In a nutshell, all the filaments (6 total) I tested resemble a gold-ish like co...

Colorfabb XT printing woes... Need Simplify3D tips/settings
Hi All, First of all... I LOVE MY M2!!!!!!!!! I am in printing heaven, at least until late. I've been running only PLA since purchase (April 2014) and have had a grand time with almost all my prints until I met Colorfabb's XT. I am in an emergency need of settings information for a wedding project I...

Re: Has anyone found a killer gold PLA filament?
(insert crickets chirping here...) Since there obviously doesn't seem to be a plethora of information regarding this question due to the overwhelming responses, I have hence ordered five different samples of so called "gold" filament from five different reputable vendors. I will post my review here ...

Has anyone found a killer gold PLA filament?
I noted an awesome gold on RichRaps blog (http://richrap.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html) and posted a question there as to what mfg it came from, but no answer yet. Is there an awesome gold out there? Or do we just use a gold spray and let it go at that? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JKVyYfnMYWw/T...

Re: Why does my top layer look like this?
Guys, Great thread that helped me with my 'holey' top layer when using the default 'High' perimeters in S3D! My M2 has been popping out good looking prints until I decided to try the 'High' auto-configure for Print Quality when trying to push the envelope. When checking my filament diameter, I don't...
