Posted in Filament skipping while printing

My filament was skipping while i was printing. Driving me nuts trying to figure out why. Lots of people here had great ideas of why but it was not helping me out. I found the problem....I had accidentally changed the filament size to 2.85 instead of the 1.75 that it needed to be. The program (cura) was doing the right thing, telling the extruder to  push out the right amount for the size of the filament. But that was not right for the size of filament I was using.

Works great now

      "Back To The Future" using Generative Design & Investment Casting

      Designing for light-weight parts is becoming more important, and I’m a firm believer in the need to produce lighter weight, less over-engineered parts for the future. This is for sustainability reasons because we need to be using less raw materials and, in things like transportation, it impacts the energy usage of the product during it’s service life.
