  1. Metal coatings ? Can you give us more information please ?
  2. Check filament diameter. I had a case with cheap fillament that it was too fat (over 3.1mm) for the bowden tube. Too much friction and it the feeder could not feed the nozzle with material. Also if your coil is too tight you will have same results. Get some 30-28 gauge needles to unclog your nozzles. Go for the shorter ones, they are more difficult to bend.
  3. Print one feeder (robert's design), just in case, and a fun duct I used Valcrow design. Only the feeder is must have IMHO.
  4. Check netfabb basic, you can cut your stl in to many parts very easy.
  5. I didn't like the default settings. They never worked for me. Its really worring that you get grinding with a temp of 260c. try to setup the extruder motor so it doesnt apply so much force onto the fillament. Up your print bed to 100-103c to get better adhesion. I'm allways using ABS slurry when I print with abs. @Nick S: I really cant understand how you guys print without fans. I cant manage to do it if there is even a suspicius of an overhang over 40 degrees.
  6. Hello Give us some details about temps, speed, layers etc. Temp is related with the grinding you are getting. Bigger temp means easier flow so the feeder motor doesn't require so much force to push the fillament.
  7. Can you post a picture before the sanding?
  8. Thats a great print! Big differences between the two you posted! GJ
  9. You dont mention any temperatures. What temp you use? Can you see any skipping on the fillament?
  10. when you will be happy with the results please upload the design so we can use it too.
  11. What nozzle are you using Labern?
  12. Exactly, I had the same thoughts Anders!
  13. Are your fans at 100%? There is no visible under extrution on the outside of the model though lower speed and temp a little, 200c and 40mm/s and rotate marvin 45 degrees to get better airflow in front of him, left fan should point at the face.
  14. What are your thoughts about this printer guys? How did they even manage to get all those good stuf in that low price? Possibility of scam or not delivering final product if kickstarter ends? Of corse they cherrypicked videos and photos, but even then, Wifi, titanium nozzle and so on.... For me it looks too good to be true to be honest!
  15. Keep in mind that small parts are harder to print! Go bigger m8!
  16. I think we have to be really specific with fillaments brands. I had ABS that needs 240c to print and other chinise abs to print even at 206c. So maybe the 130c for abs wont work for both... Is a genereal guide even possible?
  17. nice result m8! Will you share the process you used to paint this?
  18. May I ask to get cura to do less movement during each layer, and not change its mind midway. Example: If you have a square, to go from point A to point B to do the infill in one move. Not from A to D then C and then B. Less oozing problems. less time printing, fewer defects.
  19. Look at expert configuration and under fix horrible menu. Check or uncheck those one by one and inspect under layer view if your problem is resolved
  20. the separation of the layers that you show at the picture is caused of cooling to fast, and for better layer bonding needs mutch bigger temps than 240c. At least with the fillaments I used so far. What ABS are you using?
  21. +1 for gr5 Higher temp lower fan speed enclosure ( still not enought for me though :( ) tip: when you are printing above 240 try, if possible, to print without retractions. Hot fillament will wear teflon piece faster.
  22. try to play with expert settings in support. With the distance in X/Y and Z. In some models that helped me.
  23. Does your first layer spreads evenly at all times while the nozzle is moving? If you can see that the fillament is not flat then you should re level the bed. That bottle is very tall and the bottom is verry small. You need bigger base so it can support it. Also use brim at Cura. that will help you "hold" the bottle in place. When the nozzle is at top levels it "drags" the object with bigger force and it falls off
