  1. Weld-on acrylic glue is awesome. Melts the surface of pla and bonds within seconds so no prep work required. Helps if you rub the parts together while glue is still wet to help dissolve the layer a bit for stronger bond.

    I have used other acrylic glues and they work just as well.

  2. I'm loving the direction Cura is heading in.

    Just a few things I would like.

    If you have settings hidden in the feature tree then the ones shown should trump what's hidden. Eg. Speed, if you have only print and travel speed shown then infill, shells etc should be same as you set print speed.

    I like to adjust top bottom layers but number of layers not by distance but I like to have the distance shown just so I can see how thick it will be. But if I change the amount of layers, the distance won't change, then I don't know which one it will actually use.

  3. It may work but its not advisable as the tolerance of 3mm filament can mean that it ends up larger then 3mm and you will end up with all sorts of issues.

    Most manufacturers make 2.85mm but advertise it as 3mm so just check with them what the actual size of the filament is.

  4. there will be others who can share a lot more then me on how it all works but In the firmware there is a bowden tube length which is added into the mix.

    there is also something which adjusts the extruder while accelerating and decelerating but i'm not sure if this is implemented.

    You can adjust coasting before retracts in 2.XX cura though.

  5. It's not really over locking the machine. It can be as simple as slowing the print down by half then the pla will print to hot for that speed.

    When it's printing you can go to the tune menu and increase the temp to 235 or something and just do a test. It won't harm your printer by doing this.
