Re: Black ePC - disappointing first print
I printed filament drives for my M2 dual using clear ePC and never had any issue with them. PETG is pretty sticky in sliding contact. It might not be a good choice for the filament drives.

Re: Black ePC - disappointing first print
Yes, the printer is enclosed, but not temperature controlled. It's been running around 50C on the inside.

Re: Black ePC - disappointing first print
Well, back on the topic of black ePC, I finally had reason to spool it back up and see what I can get from it again. Just to clarify, my M2 has been removed from service and replaced by Raise printers, but I see that as a fairly minor detail in this subject. eSun had suggested I run the black at a l...

Re: Black ePC - disappointing first print
Karl, I've been printing eSun PETG clear at 247C for thin shells for R/C aircraft wings. they seem pretty strong to me, but i will have to mess with rafts to deal with what appears to be some shrinkage distortion just above the table - first 3/8 inch or so. No fan, bed at 87C. What temperature do y...

Re: PETG your favorite brand?
Apparently ABS is not a good choice for this sort of thin shell fabrication, but I'm not sure why. The Czechs advise against it, but don't say why. I run single-wall vase-mode prints to dial in the best temperature for a filament. The single-wall shell is easy to flex to see how easily the layers s...

Re: Printing with Ninjaflex?
The best build surface I've found for Ninjaflex is Garolite LE - linen-based phenolic sheet - which also works well for nylons.

Re: Need some advice on a suction device
That link doesn't work. What diameter is the hose?

Re: Scaling and Horizontal Offset
Thanks! I will have to experiment, but my assumption was that the scaling settings you show are associated with the model, and not the process. That's not how I work. I come up with scaling for the process using the Calibration Cross and apply that to whatever model I am printing with that process....
