you pick the oozed filament away from the nozzle when it starts going down towards the bed.

And yep 50/60 at 200 does give amazing prints. That's what i did the iris boxes on. And as far as I can see most people have to seperate the middle leaves with a knife - I didn't :-)

wondered why I'd lost 3 pages of this thread, so john deleted all his comments ?
That's some level of paranoia.

bb wise, with the three printers on the other workbench I'm down to one and got a couple systems to build for next week.
So we'll be at this stage for a while yet:

I think the only thing left to buy are the carbon fibre shafts. Now I know I'm putting the magnets on the ends - getting the exact size isn't quits as important.
Also the plastic motor mounts are temporary, got metal ones in the post. For around £1.50 each, seemed worth the investment.

Yep openscad.
drop me a pm with your email address and i'll send the duct file over.
I'll probably be using the turbo fans on the bb - so need a decent mount for them - havem't plugged one in yet to see what the airflow is like.
Was thinking of seeing if I can adapt for current mounting.
With the k200 you just can't extend beyond the edge of the effector. Just looking at the he3d design, you can see it'll cause issues for larger prints. And I've done a few prints that come right to the edge of the printbite.
The shafts are pretty much staright down at that point.

Might be able to mount the turbofan transversely across the effector.
Might have a play this afternoon.

One of the things I like about he3d k200. It'll print superb quality prints at lower speeds and knock out large 'rough' prints at high speeds.
Alexa's not quite perfect yet - I really should have a look at simplify3d's speed settings for different print areas. Having them the same as the settings for the flashforge doesn't actually make much sense.

softshaper seemed to install okay yesterday, but not had chance to see if it will run yet. Got interrupted :-)
As far as I can see the only 64bit aspect was the c++2015 they used, but I already had the 32 bit installed, so might work :-)
