none of that is untrue.
It might not be true for every one and every printer - but it is all true.
What the printbite guide says is also not strictly true for every occasion.
It claims...
name the misinformation.
I've been a printbite user right from day one.
I have all three types.
Everything here is based on experience and extreme printbite usage.
I've only recommended...
ah right, yes if your nozzles aren't perfectly level they will cause problems. In the end I removed the right nozzle from my flashforge creator. Never used it. All that side has now is a printed...
yes you can - I always have.
what do dual extruders have to do with it ?
A quick wipe every couple of months with a little acetone on kitchen paper is all i do.
why would you sand it ?
print hotter 190 ?
wow. Don't think I've ever printed pla lower than 200 and 210 is my standard for 90% of prints.
Corners are lifted because you've got shrinkage - it's slightly fatter due to...
can't imagine it would, just wipe a bit of a corner first if you're worried.
If it discolours then don't use it on the rest. if it stays shiny - it's fine to use on the rest. Discolouration is a...
clean ?
I did give it a quick wipe with acetone about 3 months ago. Alcohol would work just as well I guess :-)
Otherwise - as long as you don't rub the oils from your fingers on it - doesn't...
yeah for pla it's just brilliant.
Going to do some pet-g today, need stronger threads on a project :-)
I'll have to get some of the pha blend to test.
Sounds like the same sort of performance i get with esun pet-g.
How fast are you printing your first layer ?
I tend to go back to 10% for the...
you're not even close on the calibration to what I use.
The front bead should be pretty much just a flat strip. Yours still looks like a round bead, you should not need a raft. I haven't used a...
okay - two (could be more lol) things that are obvious to me.
1) bed levelling. Printbite is only used hot - why are levelling a cold bed ?
2) the bed heat needs to be at least 60c for pla...
The printbite is installed on abog standard (well slight modification) flashforge creator x. My slicer of choice if simplify3d - for dual material and tpu prints I also have a klick-n-print machine....
you tried these guys: https://flex3drive.com/printbite/
Don't know of any suppliers in the states.
Although looking at their list of materials they claim will work on printbite, there are some...
like I said it's cheaper to buy an oversized piece and cut it yourself into two beds. I need to work out soe sort of temporary clip system for the knp.
Cut is the wrong word.
You just score it...
Esun Petg sticks great at 60c.
In fact I only use 60c for everything.
you do need a tighter calibration with the Petg than with pla
but other than that it works brilliantly. The esun Petg in...
yes - but why ?
anything that sticks to gluestick will naturally stick to printbite.
The thing about printbite is that when it is hot most filaments will stick really well to it, when it cools...
Just get a bigger bit and 'cut' it to size.
The logical one is the 30x30 - which gives you two beds for a few quid more than the cost of one.
about 10C - I set mine at 70c and get 60c at the bed surface though bear in mind I have a 3mm aluminium plate as well as the printbite attached to me original bed.
I haven't had any issues with...
well if that was for both peices - then probably, if just the one - then no :-)
My next piece will be the 300x300 - which will give me 2 complete full size pieces for £21.
And some bits to make...
Right been using theis stuff long enough to have a good idea what it's good for and what it isn't good for.
I'll update this post when i try new materials out.
Printbite materials Pros and...
Okay so I recently found a roll of taulman bridge I got for christmas a couple years ago and promptly lost.
It's been out of the packet for a couple weeks, soaking up moisture. If you're going to...
fitted a fan switch:
9167
Came of a very old power supply that's just been scrapped (well it hasn't got an on off switch ;-)
I've even found the roll of taulman bridge.
So that'll be the next...
okay trying polymaker's clear polycarbonate.
Turns out my maximum extruder setting is 262c
the polycarbonate label states 255-280 and a bed heated to 80c.
left the bed at 60, can't be arsed...
