So i'm printing with an ultimaker + ultimaker filament and using Cura 12.10 on the mac.
The belts are tensioned well as in the vid. of Erik , the bed is leveled so that the first layer sticks well.
You can see the printed pieces underneath, the final result is the best I can do...
Printed with layer thickness of 0,1mm @75mm/s
wall thickness 1,2mm
fill density 30% (lines)
bottom / top thickness 0,6mm
temp. 220°C
filament Dia. 2,89 with fill density set at 97%
initial layer thickness: +0,3mm
extra wall thickness bottom top : +0,2mm
infill overlap 20%
This Square has a dimension of 40x40mm x4mm thick
Inside there is a square of 15x15mm , a rectangle of 20x10mm and a circle of Dia. 8mm
These are the results:
Horizontal dimensions:
40 --> 39,98 (ok)
15 --> 14,8 +0,2
10 --> 9,4 +0,4
vertical dimensions:
40 --> 39,6 +0,4
20 --> 19,6 +0,4
15 --> 14,15 +0,42
thickness = 4,1mm + curling up ont the sides
Can anyone help me on how to get my printer calibrated?
What is acceptable shrinkage, what is to be changed in the software, what is to be changed on the printer?
Thanks a million to those who can help me with this...
