I believe you can use Aceton on PMMA similar to ABS by rubbing over it with a Aceton-damp cloth or vapor bathing.

I believe you can use Aceton on PMMA similar to ABS by rubbing over it with a Aceton-damp cloth or vapor bathing.
I'm trying to find some good settings (will update later this weekend) but I was wondering if I could calculate 'perfect' settings based on the hardware.
So perhaps Mjolinor knows this one ('cause...
That looks weird...
What programs do you use for printing?
At what temp are you printing?
At what speeds are you printing?
Are you using any retraction or flow scaling?
Maybe I didn't explain it right:
With the test print (20x20x20mm cube) and the slow acceleration settings it was very clear what the machine did:
It came to a stop at every corner and started...
Yep, same problem!
I'll post some numbers that I've used below;
Just a 3k Ultimaker? We'll get it to print much better than that! :rolleyes:
Yes, I understand. Perhaps I'll make some...
Ok, apparently I could lower the acceleration even more! (something about different usage of comma and dots for decimals in Dutch and English...)
Previous prints (50 micron and 250 micron stacked...
I know I know! I am what we Dutch people would call: an antfucker. :D
Just another question that came to mind:
If you take hold of the extruders and move them around (like when leveling the bed...
Ok, here's the top surface: (0.25 layer height, 0.4 layer width)
I'm seeing sort of a wave in there?? But that could all be because of the underlaying layers?

Ok, I promised images so here they are!
I printed a cube at 0.05 layer height (0.4 layer width) in PLA at 200 degrees (usually print at 185, but this was a test - test failed; print quality is...
Thanks for the help!
I think that geared stepper would allow for more fluid feedrate. I will take pictures of what I mean with the current feedrate. It's possible to increase the feed in software,...
I've added a file to show you exactly what I get on my prints (this is 0.15[mm] layer height) though, much worse on 0.1[mm]!)

I have printed a lot in layer heights of 0.1[mm] and low speeds (25~50) and noticed that my prints had a 'wavy' pattern in the vertical direction.
This could have several causes:
- 'loose' X & Y...
Check out the Flashforge sub-forum on this board: http://3dprintboard.com/forumdisplay.php?34-FlashForge-Forum
If you want to see some images of prints made on the Flashforge printer:...
No problem. If you have any more questions feel free to ask! :)
If you want to use multiple colors on a single .STL file then your only option are:
- Use a Z-pause to swap materials;
- Use different processes (S3D) with different starting heights that both use...
Cool stuff Geoff!! Love it! I really love this mask and was also intrigued by the three 'scratches' on it. Did you paint it on or did you use a soldering iron to create those three scratches?
Are...
Cool prints Bobbler! Good to see you're having a lot of fun with your printer.
Regarding dual extrusion; lots of people will say that it's 'impossible' because dual extrusion is basically dual the...
Most 'important' Sailfish features are already included in the Makerware (=Flashforge) firmware.
The reason why Makerware is still 'missing' some features is because the firmware-space on the PCB is...
Hi Ghosty,
Looks like Curious Aardvark already covered most things, but I'm going to give you some literature regarding calibration and some basic (yet very important) things such as leveling,...
Yeah, I had the same 'problem' when started using Sailfish. Good to hear you got it working again so quickly!
When you have some prints ready, if you can, please take an image and share them on...
As mentioned; when I upgraded my printed it became LESS compatible with some SD cards. You can try downgrading the firmware if you cannot find another SD card that works because I find that the...
Which firmware are you running?
I run one of my Flashforges on firmware 1.0 and one at 7.x
The one running 1.0 can read (as far as I know) any card up to 8gb - but has a problem with 'fast' SD...
I like the material that you used for that Marvin, Stigern!
I'm still printing with the ugly blue PLA (but it's great to spot defects on that material!)
Here are a few test prints I did recently,...
I figured it would be interesting to see what everybody is printing with their Flashforge.
This will hopefully spark up some discussions too and make our active little community even more active.

May I ask where you got the 0.3 nozzles for the Flashforge? Flashforge themselves wont sell me anything below 0.4... and I would really want some 0.25mm (but I'd settle for 0.3mm)
