Well your not going to avoid ringing 100%. With the m2 you can lower the accelleraion and travel speeds so that can be kept to a minimum. I have some parts here printed on a stratasys dimension and even those have ringing. What is in your picture though does seem a bit excessive

Yeah, I don't expect to eliminate ringing with the M2, just hoping I can reduce it vs my current printer. Here is a screengrab of the model. You can see there are some prominent wrinkles along the cheeks, but obviously the print has ringing issues as well.

Post that STL (zip it to attach) and then say you don't think the M2 can print it well. You'll get about 17 people trying ;) (Cunningham's law)

Chuckle! Okay, I've got to ask....What is "Cunningham's Law"? Anything like Murphy's?

Cunningham's Law states "the best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question, it's to post the wrong answer."

When I first got a printer was into low layer heights, but now the lines don't bother me unless they are misaligned. I have come to feel that a quality print is one with uniformity rather than small layers. Besides, you are limited in the other axis to extrusion width, which is generally 0.40 to 0.50mm. As JimC said - my "high quality" prints are generally 0.15mm layers. It doesn't seem to pay to go below that except for really small things - like if I wanted to print a ring.

I am even interested in getting a Volcano so that I can get a 0.8mm nozzle (they make up to 1.2mm) and print 1mm wide and then use 0.6mm layers. The only thing stopping me from doing that is that I just have one good printer.

Re: volcano: The V3b will do 0.75mm handily. It oozes like a mug but ... you kinda knew that going in :)

This was a test cube I was working on in the 100 micron arena.
