RetromanIE 34 Posted January 25, 2016 in Ultimaker 2 Extended - 1.0mm nozzle(toothpaste) test (edited) Finally got around to trying out the 1.0mm nozzle(Olsson block etc). It's pretty silly looking, and I see why it's nicknamed the toothpaste nozzle Handy for super quick low resolution prints though. 0.8mm layer height 230c printing temp 60c bed 15mm/s Colorfabb traffic light red PLA Sliced in Simplify3d And yes, i know my fan shroud looks a mess. But it works great after I modded it with some Sugru I got sick of the custom shrouds warping and generally not going well for me. I used the sugru to improve the noise/vibrations and even airflow a little on the original version. Actually, could i paint it I wonder to improve the look?

eldrick 54 Posted January 26, 2016 in Ultimaker 2 Extended - 1.0mm nozzle(toothpaste) test The 1mm nozzle works fine at more reasonable layer heights. I'm getting excellent PQ on single-wall "vase" prints at .25mm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RetromanIE 34 Posted January 26, 2016 in Ultimaker 2 Extended - 1.0mm nozzle(toothpaste) test Yes, I'm sure it would look better at a normal res But i did a vase today at 0.7mm and it actually suited the style of the vase quite well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RetromanIE 34 Posted January 27, 2016 in Ultimaker 2 Extended - 1.0mm nozzle(toothpaste) test Wow, what is that "hood" you've made? Love the dinosaurs! I bought the hood from a 3d printer store in Germany(can't remember the name, but the owner is registered on here i think). It's pretty great, but the clear plastic is acrylic and gets scratched up, I might replace that with polycarbonate sheets at some stage(maybe when getting the a door made up). The dinos are just some vase mode prints i was testing out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
