WOW thats allot of work.

I just print straight on the tape no sandind no alcohol.

That way i can print on it many many times over without need to replace.

Sounds like you suffer with adhesion problems so much that you needed to do sandind and alcohol.

If i apply alcohol to my tape, i wont be able to remove part without tearing off the tape.

Increase temperature of the nozzle.

I assume u print PLA

 

Not a lot of work at all. When i put new tape on i "key" with sandpaper to remove the slightly waxy finish it and it lasts for about 100 prints.. Then, when i find that things arnt sticking i give it a wipe with an alcohol swab....

As for temperature, i have tried everything from 190 to 210. If i go on the higher side, its worse, as the filiment "oozes" during travel and i get a nothing out of the extruder for a few mm.

But as i sid, i am still not convinced tht my head does a complete pass of the perimeter.. Watch the video and see... I would be intereted in your thought..

I am going to do some test and slow the print right down that i can see the printer moving to prove/disprove this.

        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.
