  1. Sander well except for the big brand name there was little difference between your stand and the others. They basically all had UM2s and printed stuff. My wife and I said to each other that you have to look at the posters because the material is alike almost everywhere :)

    As I said: I don't have a clue how you would distinguish yourself being a printer fabricator instead of for example a "shapeways clone" (if i can be so disrespectful), but it didn't really stand out to me. Perhaps it's just me having unrealistic expectations, dunno. I guess I came there expecting to be bedazzled by my favorite brand :)

     

  2. I experienced the same issues and talked to the colorfabb guys in London. Turns out that the idea I had (printing slower) is actually what made it clog. The best way is to make sure that the material spends as little time in the nozzle as possible, as it burns really quickly. They advised 50mm/s and a higher flowrate (110 - 120%). Also they pointed at their http://learn.colorfabb.com/category/tutorials/3d-printing/, where you can find an article http://learn.colorfabb.com/how-to-print-with-woodfill/.

    Very eager to try again :)

     

  3. I loved seeing that new 3d printer with paper as a source material. It's obviously way too expensive to buy (£34.000 iirc) but after seeing their promo video online I really wanted to see it in action and handle one of their prints. Which I did, and it was deemed awesome :)

     

  4. Unfortunately have to agree with the opinions about the stand.

    Also, for some reason I didn't really get the "we are a printer fabricator vibe" from it either, it just looked like the others.

    A bunch of UM2s and a lot of plastic. I personally don't have any suggestions on how to improve it, just wanted to share my thoughts. What was/is really cool is that your printers were used literally everywhere :)

    I also took a whole bunch of pictures and will post them at some point. Except from the makerbot stand. For some reason my camera refused to work around there ;)

     

  5. Ligt bij mij gewoon in de kast met de zakjes silica die erbij zaten er gewoon naast. Is niet zo gek vochtig bij ons dus meer ga ik er persoonlijk niet voor doen. Denk dat het wat afhangt van de relatieve vochtigheid in je huis of zoiets nut heeft of niet.

     

  6. Ik heb daar zo'n crème brûlée brander voor. Heb al gezocht naar zo'n heatgun met een kleine nozzle maar alles wat ik hier in de buurt kan vinden zijn die voor verf af te branden. Zou nochtans een stuk beter zijn want daarmee heb je veel meer controle over de temperatuur. Zoals Xeno net zei ben je snel schade aan het veroorzaken, vandaar ook mijn tip om zeker eerst op wat anders te oefenen.

     

  7. pm_dude: I have worked in "the sector" for over 6 years myself and I think the camaraderie there is completely different because you tend to spend a lot more time together. Plus most of the times the entire company is working on the same big project with the same goal, in most companies there are a lot of different departments/projects and whatnot. It all depends ons what the company does I think.

    In any case, I've had my belly full of the long hours and low pay and migrated to things more profitable and wife-friendly :)

     

  8. Nice leveling screw covers. Is there a direction drawn on it? I always get confused when its time to play with them :D

     

    No unfortunately not, I'm also wrong at first every time ;)

    I was toying with the idea of printing the directions on a paper (i know, the audacity!) and sticking it to the bottom of the case. The bed is up when leveling anyway.

     

  9. De bedoeling van die "atomic pull" is dat je het filament eerst opwarmt tot een temperatuur dat al het filament in de nozzle zeker smelt en dan laat afkoelen tot het punt dat het net harder wordt (PLA 90º, ABS 130º).

    Als je het er op de juiste moment uittrekt zul je zien dat het rekt tot een dunnere sliert en dat alle rommel er blijft in plakken. Er wordt ook meestal aangeraden om dat met wit filament te doen (en een paar keer achter elkaar bij zeer vuile nozzle's) omdat je op wit heel goed ziet of er nog gunk meekomt.

    En wat die filament klemmen betreft, daar kun je er nooit genoeg van hebben ;)

    3mm Filament Clips

    Hint: Ze printen beter als je ze roteert zoals in mijn foto, by default liggen ze rechtop en dan heb je veel overhang.
