Re: Experimenting with ABS
The clear stuff is a lot stickier than regular ABS, I guess the gratituous lack of butadiene helps in that regard. It makes ABS behave a lot more like PETG -- much more flexible and less warping. Try it with real, opaque, natural-colored ABS and you'll be missing the clear stuff and pining for PETG...

Re: Experimenting with ABS
Well, your tray is certainly boxier than the dragon, but it also has some design features that make it far from the worst case scenario. The various indented segments break up and shorten the linear runs, and it's not a solid box so you're not dealing with infill strain across the whole volume. Tru...

Re: Experimenting with ABS
Nope, no cracking, lifting or curling with that one - other prints have been more problematic, but that was surprisingly stress free, especially considering the size. I printed it quite slowly (around 75% initially, but when I went to bed, I dropped it to 50% as I didn't want to wake up to a broken ...

Experimenting with ABS
Having a few spools of ABS kicking around, I thought I'd see how it fared on the M2 - end results aren't really too bad considering I'm using the box the printer came in for insulation. This is a print of Adalinda: The Singing Serpent sliced at 0.3mm and printed with some transparent ABS I picked up...

Re: Which Software to use for Makergear M2?
There's a config file for slic3r which comes on the SD card with the printer - you should be able to use that when it arrives.
I've been using repetierHost and slic3r here and getting very good results.

Re: Loading a New Filament
I'd also suggest making a clean cut of the filament a couple of centimetres from the current end can also resolve problems.

Re: Where to get good filament in EU (Germany?)
Hi, Kinda new to the M2 (arrived earlier in the week), but since I had some filament left over from my old printer, I've been giving it a shot and getting brilliant results with it too. The filament I have is MAXX Economy ABS Tooth White - bought from the vendor of the old printer via http://www.lpf...
