I dont have anything holding my thermister in at the moment. Im thinking im not going to worry about it now. I really really really want to build my own custom 3D printer now that I have spent some...

I was actaully thinking about using silver based thermal paste or just some kind of thermal paste. Cram some in the thermister hole and then push the thermister in the hole.

Thanks for the info!

Ok so I have to balance the viscosity and speed of the print. I've been printing with a layer height of 0.2 lately. I'll try 0.3 now.

Also, I have my retraction distance...

Awesome advice. I already rounded the bracket. I also decreased the size of the holes so that they are more like pilot holes instead. I can easily drill them out later.

Ok. Ill take that into consideration.

One more thing.... How do i keep the machine from infilling very small areas. I set the parameter for minimum area of infill, or something that, as 8mm^2,...

Whats a typical flow? Right now i am printing at 120! When i was printing at 100 it appeared that the extruder was starving for material.

Ill mess around with it more and see what happens. Thanks.

Yea, printing on it's side is the way to go. I was printing it the other way just to see what the outcome would be.

As for speed of the print, im actually printing them slow. Wall speed at 15,...

This was my first print. Not good. I think I had bad retraction settings.
