here's a link to a local cable access news show. We have two printers Ultimaker Original and a MakerGear M2..soon to be adding an Ultimaker Original+ to the line up...there is a shot of the UM at the end.

Enjoy!

Absolutely lovely!

But why to use so high infill ratio? The shapes shown in the video can be printed with very little or no infill at all!

Thanks looking at the videos!

About the infill. The cave certainly did not need the high infill, but some of the prints have big flat surfaces that we needed to be smooth, I usually would use

Layer height = 0.2mm

top bottom thickness = 0.8mm

infill = 17-20%

I have not had good luck getting flat tops with less infill.
