[Need help to figure out printing settings for FormFutura TitanX White ABS filament]

Hi Smithy,

 

Thank you for your answer.

I will change the minimum layer time from 3s to 10s.

 

About the printing temperature I've followed the guidelines from FormFutura. They advice temperature from 240°C to 260°C and I've tried 240, 250 and 260°C. I will try again at 240°C.

 

I've enclosed the printer in a chest made from heat insulation material. I felt the temperature inside was much hotter than the room temp so I will lower it down.

 

I've set the flow to 106% following guidelines from FormFutura, I will set it back to 100%.

 

I will try again with the settings you advised and keep you updated.

 

Thank you !

And I'm using Ultimaker Cura 3.6.0

 

Thanks !

Hi everybody,

 

We've just bought an Ultimaker 2 extended + and being new to the 3D printing world we are trying to print out simple objects with different filaments. I couldn't figure out the right settings to print out a micro catapult from Thingiverse with FormFutura TitanX filament (datasheet).

 

Here are the settings of my last try :

 - Material : FormFutura TitanX White

 - Printing T° : 260°C

 - Build Plate T° : 85°C

 - Fan Speed : 20%

   - Regular fan speed : 5%

   - Max. fan speed : 20%  

 - Nozzle Ø: 0.4 mm

 - Layer Height : 0.15

 - Infill density : 30%

 - Wall Thickness : 2 mm

 - Flow : 106%

 - Retraction : enabled, +/- 5 mm

 - Speed : 40 mm/s

 - Build plate adhesion : Raft

 - I've thermally insulated the whole printer

 

With these setting I got :

 - poor layer adhesion giving a very weak catapult

 - poor printing precision

 - no warping

 

You can find enclosed some pictures of the catapult printed with these settings.

 

Thank you so much for your help !
