Re: Materials printed on M2
PET tape has solved all my ABS problems, even without an enclosure.
I am printing off my first part with Taulmann Bridge. I am printing an octopus from thingiverse that takes ~1 hour. At ~30 minutes the tentacles started curling off the build plate. I am printing at 255* with a 85* bed. Anything else I can do to help the print?

Re: Materials printed on M2
I am still having problems with the bridge material curling and coming off the build plate. Any pointers for this material?
Re: Materials printed on M2
I am hardly an authority on nylon but i have printed a couple spools of 618 and one of bridge and i can say nylon warps plain and simple. Bridge bonds to the plate more consistantly but it will still warp. No stoppin it

Garolite. It's ridiculously tacky vs. Nylon.

Re: Materials printed on M2
Does NinjaFlex need any glue, tape, hairspray, etc. to stick well to the print bed?
Re: Materials printed on M2
Sticks great to hairspray. I dont know about other methods. Im sure it sticks to blue tape as well but i use spray almost exclusively. It just plain works for about everything.

Don't use it with Kapton unless it's a very thin part. A postage-stamp sized piece peeled up the Kapton from my bed.jimc wrote:Sticks great to hairspray. I dont know about other methods.

Yeah i did some test prints and took measurements and there is some shrinkage. 1.8% to be exact on a 100% solid part. Surprisingly though i didnt have any warp problems.

Can I print PETG on V3B? And what is PETG? The only filament I can find is PET+? Is it the same?
and where to choose layer height in S3D settings??

Re: Materials printed on M2
Yes, but PETG's desired temp is at the upper end of what I'd run the V3b at (245), so be careful and make sure your fans are on.nokianich wrote:Can I print PETG on V3B? And what is PETG? The only filament I can find is PET+? Is it the same?

PET+ is very similar to PETG. You can find PETG from eSUN, sold by INTSERVO (William) on Amazon or at intservo.com
