Re: best carbon fiber filled filament

Try 3DXTech. They have a full line of chopped CF filled filament and at least PETG with chopped fiber glass. All seem to print with the same settings as the regular stuff, but I always use a steel nozzle to avoid erosion.

Re: Z motor sounds different

When I first installed my dual extruder upgrade, the Z-knob would get pinched by the wires/extruder. It would make a funny noise as the motor would try to turn the Z-axis screw, but could not. I do not know, but I presume there is some kind of 'clutch' between the motor and the screw which produces ...

Re: Taulman 910 Black

I always use a glue stick when printing nylon; it always seems to hold.

Re: Extruder Issue Mid Print

Is it pretty durable yet flexible?
Does it create any hassles to the M2?
thanks!
See my post "Butt Pad" under "Printed Object Showcase". I found it fairly easy to print, and it does seem durable; time will tell. I use a 0.50mm nozzle.

Re: Filaments in Your Filament

That definitely looks like a foreign object in your filament. I would suggest you send the picture, and maybe the object(s), to the manufacturer and demand an explanation.
Please let us know who the manufacturer is, so if it happens to anyone else here, we can confirm it.

Great question! I think I will try again with 0.25mm nozzles, and maybe make four, each rotated 90 degrees from the last.

Re: Can support increase accuracy/definition of small featur

Here is another try. The switch cover is shelled to be 0.065" thick, so I made the black lettering the entire thickness. I also increased the size of the font, and I know, the NAV LITE needs to be centered. See what you think. (I find the back might look a little better than the front.)
