New Mk4 is stringing like crazy. Just printed a temperature tower and stringing is lessened at 180° with PLA. I think it's a bad thermistor. Currently making a new tower that goes down to 160. At some point it should just freeze up and stop extruding... right? I mean I'm pretty sure there's a temperature at which PLA is solid... Anyway, seems like it's a known issue. It's a kick rear end printer. Even with the nozzle way too hot, it's doing a better job than the Ender 3.

Prusa seems to be really pushing people to use filament dryers stating that the 0.6 default nozzle on the mk4 and XL are much more susceptible to stringing. You'll start grinding filament where the extruder gearing is once you get low enough. It's pretty easy to clean off of my XL and I think the Mk4 is similar. In other news, my XL moves so fast now it's causing false positives for head crashes because the table I have it on wobbles too much...

Also just did my first print today with the Bambu HF TPU 95. It… just worked? And it is the coolest thing that I can print something this squishy. Bed removal and support removal were a bit challenging but overall it’s pretty crazy how it all printed without a hitch like it was PLA. The parts were for the attachment points for an improved cable chain for my old CR-10 v3. Next up is ASA for the desiccant holders and AMS filament feeder mods that were previously suggested.

IIID Max's Space Grey is pretty awesome for grey space things, so it's a good thing they named it that, but it's also an absolute perfect neutral gray to start a paint job on. I probably don't buy as much of it as queeb does, but I do use quite a bit.

ilkhan posted:How's your retraction settings? Stringing isn't just temp. It's printing PLA pretty well at 170°, very little stringing. I think this is a temperature issue. Gonna go print a lot of crazy low temperature towers in different filaments to double check, but I think I have a culprit. This appears to be an issue a number of Mk4 owners are having. Sigh.

Had some PETG get wet in the AMS, took a look at the desiccant in the back and it looked fine still. Decided to be proactive and printed some loose desiccant containers to replace them since it's a massive increase in capacity and surface area. Noticed all the space up front and also now printing some desiccant holders for that. Overkill, but don't want it to be an issue ever again. Desiccant baskets that fit in the existing desiccant holes: https://www.printables.com/model/279772-bambu-labs-ams-desiccant-box Front desiccant baskets that fit in between the AMS parts: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6308015

Yeah I have all the desiccant in my ams. Loose containers for the trays and then the 3 front with a round probably inaccurate as hell temp and humidity sensor.

ilkhan posted:PLA should be around 200-220 degrees nozzle temp. If you're printing it at 170 you've got other issues. I mean, 170 may indicate the issue is the hotend thermistor.

Yeah these cheap hygrometers are more of a broad range than actual humidity, but it can tell you if all your desiccant is wet.

The internet told me that I could just tear the sides off my Inland PLA and put the Bambu reusable spools around that core. The inland core is too wide and I couldn’t attach the spools. Had to get creative and got it to work, but I don’t recommend doing that. Also tried printing the outer rings for the cardboard roll, but the AMS lid can’t close all the way with it. Fiancée has some spare bearings for her skates and I’m printing the spool re-roller and using the old bearings for that.

Going to try printing PA6-GF today, wish me luck. I took it out of the brand new (airtight with dessicant pack) packaging and it was super stiff and snapped like a dry twig if you tried to bend it at all. So, it's in the filament dryer now for 8 hours, and maybe 8 more after that depending on how it turns out.

Love the AMS, but I find it really has issues when a cardboard spool gets towards the end of the roll. Doesn't seem to be enough weight to engage the feeds correctly and I start getting errors

  A couple of ”Lego-blocks” to test the idea of using those as a core for carbon fibre layup. I think it is go, but a bit more CFD to do to figure out the final shape before printing the full set of blocks.

I made a tiny temperature tower, and if you use PrusaSlicer, it automatically gets the M105 hotend temperature changes. You can just slice and print. https://www.printables.com/model/659555-small-parametric-temperature-tower/files If anybody knows how to cajole Cura into doing something similar, please let me know! PrusaSlicer wanted a Metadata/Prusa_Slicer_custom_gcode_per_print_z.xml file in the 3mf (it's just a zip file). e: source code at https://git.woozle.org/neale/temperature-tower cruft fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Nov 26, 2023 |
