A couple new prints. Twisted knots in ABS involves multiple processes. Shrek is printed on the new FFCP from eBay (parts only machine) working great now. May have to get a few more of these eBay FFCP's and refurbish them and resell. Got a few interested people.

Here is an interesting dual cooling duct.

That still looks like the printed object was not stuck entirely to the bed. You might try getting the nozzle just a bit closer to the bed yet again. And use some glue stick...

Ok. This print is better. Be temp 60, extruder 195.
I'm thinking to drop the extrusion temp to 180.
Do you think that would clear up the rest or am I missing something?

Any ideas how I can get rid of this bulging seam? The inside is perfectly smooth.

PLA - 200 and mainly defaults for S3D.

Nice! They all came out really great.
Do you have a pattern for the glass bed clamps?

I have been thinking of making some of the knots as my daughter likes things like that but I did not want to do them in ABS. I have made an exhaust system for the fumes but would rather not give ABS to a 3 3/4 yr old who would let her 1 yr old brother chew on them LOL

You are right this is another interesting one. I wonder how well it will turn out.
I now have 5 different ones to choose from.

It has lots of glue. I will creep the bed depth in tighter a bit again.
I will let you know how it goes in a bit.
Thanks again,

Rotate the object 90 degrees?

It's still going to have a seam. The issue is it is extruding to much material when it starts that path.

Just noticed that MakerGeeks has a new NinjaFlex equivalent filament at $39.95/Kg. MG calls theirs "Maker Flex" and so far are listing it in 6 colors. Darn little info about it other than to say "Maker FlexFlexible filament is based on the exact same resin properties" as Ninjaflex.
