First print from just completed Mendelmax kit

First print from just completed Mendelmax kit Well... Not really my first because I printed two calibration objects but this is my first "thing". I just wanted to invite some advice or constructive criticism. It looks pretty good to me but what do I know? I'm new at this. :) I haven't managed to free it from the bed yet (still hasn't cooled 100%) but I'm anxious to try it. This is the knob for my Panelolu display. I'll be printing the case parts next. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,183686,183686#msg-183686 Fri, 09 Oct 2026 19:10:10 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,183686,183870#msg-183870 Re: First print from just completed Mendelmax kit https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,183686,183870#msg-183870 xclusive585 Printing Mon, 11 Feb 2013 13:53:00 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,183686,183834#msg-183834 Re: First print from just completed Mendelmax kit https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,183686,183834#msg-183834
Sli3r settings were:
.2mm layer height
.4 fill density
30mm/sec perimiters
60mm/sec infill
.9425 extrusion multiplier
230* extrusion temp
95* bed temp
cooling: off

I think I need to turn cooling on. I tried printing Y axis idler tensioner brackets last night and they came out pretty good until I got to the ears. They were small and stayed mushy while printing, and the nozzle pushed them around pretty good. I think if they had time to harden a bit, they would have been perfect.

I know cooling can restrict the speed but it would seem that a minimum delay between layers might be a better option? Does that exist?]]> Knimrod Printing Mon, 11 Feb 2013 10:01:36 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,183686,183736#msg-183736 Re: First print from just completed Mendelmax kit https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,183686,183736#msg-183736 Look at some other peoples first prints and you will feel good about that one. ;-)
