    ah - don't think I've got any 4gb dimms in stock. never usually need more than 2gb on my workshop machines.
    Given that nothing else I've sliced has ever given me issues, it's more like to be a windows/memory issue - I only build machines with ssds, so virtual memory should be pretty quick.
    That said - cura sliced it without any issues.

    Tell you what though. Currently printing my first proper thing with the fan. A radiator pressure valvey thing for a plumber mate of mine. Doing in pet-g - the ones i did without the fan were pretty rough. The one it's printing at the moment looks bloody amazing !
    Mind you i took amaprof's advice as well and knocked 10c off the printing temp.

    I'll do one without an as well just to compare.
    But it's looking really really clean and sharp.
    I'll take a pic


    printing at 0.2mm layer. I mean come on how smooth is that ?
    The layer alignment on that column is bloody amazing.
    The larger carriage is probably helping as well.
    Cheers mate :-)

    This machine rocks !

    ***

    The surface finish on this thing is bloody phenomenal !
    I reckon Alexa is finally 100% finished :-)
    It's sun-lu pet-g at 230c. Which is the lowest end it says to use on the label.
    Accordig to amaprofessional, it actually bonds better at lower temps.
    We'll see. This thing is screwed directly into a radiator valve, so is subjected to some serious sideways twist and torque.
    The 245c ones were fine. Interesting to see how this one at 230 compares. Plus I've extended the bit that screws in.

    Right started the one without fan.
    (sticks finger on fan) yep definitely off.
    Be interesting this.
