[Did anyone try the new Advanced 3D Printing Kit?]

this may be a stupid question. but what side goes down??? sticky or smooth?

Wow. Definitely seems like a good way to potentially loose your mind. Not ready for that just yet. Put my settings on .2 and 40 and almost no skips now. Slower, but definitely better.

Thanks for your help!

How is installing the Olsson block? Tough? I guess worth it?

[How to tune your UM 2go]

My UM 2go is my first 3d printer! So far its been working pretty great. I have been experimenting with settings on my prints to avoid feeder skipping while maximizing speed. Seems like it will only print without skipping on very slow speeds.

Right now I am printing at .15mm thickness and 65mm/sec with clear ultimaker PLA filament @ 220 degrees, that is giving me an output of 3.9mm^3/sec and it is still skipping pretty regularly. I had my settings up to 4.9mm^3/sec at one point and the print quality was very poor.

My questions are, are the settings above considered fast/medium/slow? Is feeder skipping a normal part of operation above certain speeds? Is there a way to tune up/calibrate my printer (outside of the normal calibration procedure) so that it performs more optimally?

Thanks!
