  1. Dear lord.. I have been back and forth with this stuff... a couple of things I have noticed...

    TEMP is #1 priority.. but I cant seem to dial it in.. If you have it too high.. which I tried because I had no sucess with lower temps 235.. too high 261+ and the print come out really brittle.. the colored stuff is usually brittle if it comes out matte .. if it comes out shinyish it is usually done right and can be quite strong.. but it is a battle getting the right ammount of cooling at the right times

    I have had terrible luck with most types of infill it just wont lay down properly.

     

  2. I printed a bunch of new printer parts with the Colorfabb XT. I was under the impression that this material was much stronger than traditional PLA. However I am finding it to be very brittle... it does not flex at all without breaking.... and easily I might add. I thought it could be temp.. but that would mostlikey only cause breakage allong the layers. but it breads along the layer and againts them. so for not impressed. I am printing at 70 speed at 240c I have tried 250 and 220c as well. no change??? any ideas?
