Re: Input Requested: What are your favorite filaments?
Maker Geeks PETG is very, very good. I have used eSun Petg which worked ok, but Maker Geeks IMHO is much better!

Re: V4 .5mm and .75 mm nozzles
Using smart print profiles tends to be the biggest speed factor. If I need a print fast I would use the following settings. .35mm nozzle .3mm layer height .6mm layer width single shell/perimeter 0-35% Rectilinear infill (Optimized for the part) How about for a .5mm nozzle? Or a .5mm nozzle with PET...

Re: V4 .5mm and .75 mm nozzles
Ok, good advice.
I am guessing the v3b .5mm nozzle wont work for the v4?

Re: V4 .5mm and .75 mm nozzles
That is what I thought; thanks guys, love you and this community!!
Just a side question: would you guys buy a nozzle and change when needed; or am I better off have separate complete hot ends so I don't screw anything up?

Accuracy and Nozzle diameter
Working on a few small parts, they are about 3/8" and I need the dimensions to come out as close to perfect as possible in order to fit together I have been noticing with my .5mm nozzle, I am getting a decent amount of variance in parts, even in the same printing I guess my question is 2 fold: will ...

Re: Is upgrading from V3 to V4 worth the $100? Why?
I am always amazed at how awesome this community is! Thanks for the answers
A side question; if I upgrade to the dual extruder, how does that work? I know if my extruded sits for a minute or 2, filament will ooze out a little; how does the dual extruder deal with this issue?
