Hey Olaf, these are my experiences printing on a sandblasted glass sheet (with ABS): 1) It provides better adhesion.. 2) ..but only if you prepare the sheet properly (in my case: cleaning with spirit and applying a acetone-abs mixture) 3) one time a part stuck so well that I damaged the plate while detaching the print (a glass layer stuck on the print!) I stopped using the glass plate since itby rapidelectron - General
Interesting thread! My try to print on a lemon juice coated printbed was not very successful Heatbed temperature 110°C, extruder temp 240°C. The ABS did not stick too well and formed to big chunks of a mixture out of ABS and lemon juice. Even my extruder nozzle is now coated with these chunks. Nevertheless it smelled quite nice! - rapidelectronby rapidelectron - Printing
Hello Reprappers! My printed parts' first layers shrink extremely (up to a height of 5-6 mm). Printed material is ABS, heated-bed temperature 110°C; extruder temperature 220°C. The parts' first layer sticks well to the heated bed. Please also see the image attached. How can I prevent shrinking and improve the quality of the print? -rapidelectronby rapidelectron - Printing
My heated bed resistance is 1.5 Ohm. Using another PSU (330W; 12V 16A) improves heat up times and max temperature (It now reaches 110°C) Thanks xoan!by rapidelectron - Next Wave Electronics Working Group
Hey guys, I have a problem with my heated bed using Gen7 1.4 electronics. The temperature of my heated bed only rises to about 60°C even when I tell the board to heat it to 110°C (M140 S110, followed by M116) My heated bed mosfet is, as suggested in the outdated version 1.4, the same as the extruder heater mosfet (MOSFET IRFZ 44N). I use Teacup Firmware as suggested by Traumflug. My PSU has 300by rapidelectron - Next Wave Electronics Working Group
