.75mm Nozzle and print speed

So I picked up a hot end with .75mm nozzle form a forum user who has sold his M2. After installing, cleaning (esun cleaning filament) and setting offset for a .5mm layer at .8 Extursion width I figured I would be able to print fast with a larger nozzle. My model is a simple flat plate 135x168x4mm Th...

Re: Corner bulging on 90 degree features in 2019

I would guess that there are improvements to this with some of the newer controller boards and firmware. Unfortunately the is another can of worms to replace the board and firmware.. I am just a hobbies so this is not something that bother me, I guess I have accepted the fact that FFF is not injecti...

Re: anyone know if the THE OLSSON RUBY Nozzle works with the M2?

It is however frustrating that Makergear doesn't seem to support hardened steel components as "official" parts. Do the stainless ones not count as hardened? https://www.makergear.com/collections/parts/products/nozzle-stainless It all depends on if they are just stainless or hardened.. Just like a k...

Re: Corner bulging on 90 degree features in 2019

Well, if I did the math correct you are trying to print these tiny model as 80mmS .. You are getting the correct results.. Dragging a round squished molten plastic thread around a 90 degree turn at light speed.. They made a move about this.. Tokyo Drift.. :D I will attempt to attach 3 sets of photos...

Re: Corner bulging on 90 degree features in 2019

Got a picture of what you are are talking about.. you talking about the Z change bulge? I typically put fillets on all my edges when I design an part even if it is .06 just to eliminate sharp corners as I don't like them.. the Z lumps are a pain and I have found that it is more pronounced when extru...

Re: How to Switch from PETG to to PLA without a clog?

Yes, sometimes you have to manually push it in as it is soft and undersized at times. I have feed rate in octoprint profile for manual extrusion set to 100mmMinute .

Re: How to Switch from PETG to to PLA without a clog?

You need to by eSun cleaning filament. When you change filament type you run about 8-10" of this through your hot end a the same temperature as the previous filament. You need to do it slowly so it blends with everything in the nozzle, it is surprising how long it takes to get it flushed. Once your ...
