General comparison of all available filament materials?
Posted
· General comparison of all available filament materials?
I don't know of any where they have done the work for you ..... if I see something useful I just buy a sample and try it - if I like it (or can get it to work ....)
What are your customers asking for?
As an example I have been printing e-nable hands - a small part in PLA which tensions the cable just snaps ..... so I got out a sample of the new colorfabb Xt and it is SO strong - I can't break it - but it took a bit of experimenting (240 degrees and no fan - which seems wrong )
I know the samples/time trying are expensive, but I normally pull them out when I am driven to by my favourite filament not working!
Some good reviews on flexible filaments on here - I love ninjaflex but it is a PITA to print
Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
