Simplify3D does not include this nice "standby temperature automatic" (like Cura). Besides that it works just fine with the Mark2 setup.

 

I see no reason why you should not use ABS, as long as you get dimensional correct prints with it.

Insert the magnets with a drop of epoxy and you're good to go.

Thanks, Ill see how it goes. I mainly want to use Simplify3D as I have already paid the $149 USD for it and cant get a refund 🙂

@GR5, Have you got this working with Simplify3D?

It is my goto printing program and am just wondering what I would need to do to get it to work on that.

 

Lastly, Is ABS suitable instead of high temp PLA? I just didnt want to buy a new roll if I didnt have to. I was intending on using Form Futura Premium ABS

So print fast and hot?

45mm/s?

Do you have a g-code Marvin or something you can share

[Printing in air - another puzzle]

So my print randomly prints in mid air. Its not:

 

• Nozzle clogged
  
• Bed uneven
  
• Bad G-code
  

 

As per the picture you can see it was printing fine then all of a sudden BOOM! lets start the next layer 2 cm higher than normal. This will happen one print, then try again with the same file and it will work out fine. There are no z-hops or retractions at all. You can see nice fat lines printing in mid air, so the nozzle is not clogged.

Suggestions?
