Yep.... great advice....

I checked mine and there was a hairline crack.... so I'm going to swap it out ( Luckily I printed one out to have on hand )

Just a follow up.... I just took another look at my machine and it looks like the whole extruder motor has slipped a bit in the holder.... so the extruder is sitting at a slight angle.... I had a print come loose from the bed yesterday during printing, so I'm guessing it caused this. So it looks lik...

recently I noticed that my X-Axis stop must be out of adjustment because when my printer starts a new job and it goes over to release some of the filament it is now ejecting it directly onto the glass, verses just over the edge. ( so in other words it needs to be shifted over about 1/16" ) How do I ...

I ordered a roll of the PET+ today to try it out.
My main concern is the cost.... ( looks to be about double the price of ABS )

The part that I am printing will be a fishing boat assessory..... so it will be out in the sun.
Any thoughts on how the PET+ will hold up in the sun?

Thanks,

Kent

Hi Mike,

Just checking in with you to see if the cabinet helped out on the cracking and warping issues with the ABS ?

If it solved your problems I may try to build one for my printer.

Thanks,

Just a quick update on this issue after I played around with it... It looks like if I set the speed to 97% it works fine. at 97% it is just the right amount of air flow. Even though 97% would sound like it's close to 100% speed it actually seems like it's running at about half speed which is what I ...

Thanks Steve...... That did the trick!!!

You get the Gold Star for the day!!

I am using S3D for my slicer for my M2 machine, and I have noticed from time to time my extruder is making contact with my printed material when it does rapid moves. Is it possible to tell the slicer to raise the Z axis a little bit during these rapid moves? For example on my CNC Milling machine I t...

I have a boat accessory that I am going to make on my M2 machine, and I was planning to use PLA but recently I noticed on one of the posts that a member said PLA does not hold up well in the sun and warm temps. My part that I am making will be exposed to normal summer weather conditions on a fishing...

Very Impressive Set up!!! Just a note on the ABS material...... I use to have cracking issues with the ABS when I was using the .35 mm Nozzle, but once I changed to the .50 mm nozzle all my problems went away. I am using Purple Glue stick on the glass and the part stick to the plate perfect. I am ru...
