Z18 users printing movable parts models and settings

[MANICX100]

Has anyone had success printing moveable 3d prints on a Z18?
Been experimenting with printing moving parts like:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:608397

They always print as a rock solid sealed object impossible to move correctly as per its use.

Tried Standard/ High settings and my own custom profile which seems to get me the cleanest prints:

• 0.15mm
  
• 5th Gen High Base
  
• As default offset
  
• 20%infill
  
• 200 °
  
• Roof layer count 4
  
• High
  
• 90mm/s
  
• Shells 2
  
• Outlines 15

Hi there

I would reduce filament amount.
Your shell is to thick, therefore moving parts can't move properly.
Somethig like this:
"feedDiameter": 1.80,
"feedstockMultiplier": 1.01,
If still no good, then increase the number of feedstock furthe more.

If you are using Makerbot filament then you should not have problems with it.
