I have tried the black at 250 now (it's most of the way through the Tornado Tube and it looks like it is printing fine. I was surprised that it even did the horizontal bridges across the wide open center fairly well. All I had to do was blow on it while it was doing that portion and they didn't sag too much. I am putting a fan on it now and I'll see how that helps from now on. I had tried atby kaflick - Printing
Is there any place that is known to sell better and more usable plastic (where I should buy from) or conversely, is known for selling lower quality (and I should stay away from) or do all suppliers seem to be hit or miss (depending on the batch, maybe) ?by kaflick - Printing
I found that I was printing at too low of a temperature. I was trying to print orange PLA at 185 and I read that someone needed to print orange PLA at 220. I found that 210 worked fine for me. I printed up all the rest of the orange and had no problems. Then I switched to black PLA and have had nothing but problems. I have found that it will usually melt at 230, but not always. 230 is too hby kaflick - Printing
I tried painters tape and that solved the sticking problem. Now if I can get the speeds and accelerations correct, the calibration right and stop the filament from stripping I'll be just fine. :-)by kaflick - Printing
I built a MendelMax 1.0 and I finally got my belts (they were back ordered) and put them on today. I tried to print a simple part for a calibration check of the x and y axis but couldn't get it to stick. I am using PLA on a heated aluminum bed. 185 extruder, 60 bed. Is this a good place to start? I haven't picked up painters tape yet to try but I will. Any other suggestions?by kaflick - Printing
The reason I wanted to use it was it seemed more flexible with it's ability to change parameters and calibration without rebuilding and re-installing the firmware. It seemed a very useful feature. I may have to try another if I can't get it to work.by kaflick - Firmware - mainstream and related support
I have built a MendelMax with RAMPS and am trying to get it to work with sjfw. ReplecatorG says that it has loaded the firmware and the green led is blinking quickly as it loads. I added the machine description and selected the sjfw machine and it cannot connect. I cannot connect with Pronterface either (I did changed the com speed). I do have a couple of questions: 1.
