Two Trees Sapphire pro 2 - exploring this corexy printer

[curious aardvark]

now this is how you lay down a first layer !
there are 592 seperate 'links'. It's not agreat picture but every single one of those 'crescents' is a seperate part. The gaps between them are very small - but there are gaps.

So final verdict on the PEI - excellent !
Adhesion for pla is damn near perfect. And it comes off easy once cool.
Going to be interesting to see how long it lasts.
I think the sheet I bought which was 250x250 with 3m adhesive sheet, cost about £7
And hassle free printing from here on in :-)

Be interesting to see if pet-g sticks to it - it is supposed to, but who knows.
If it doesn't - no bigge I've got three different types of print adhexive that all claim pet-g works with them.
So we'll see.

The bracelet printed perfectly, and peeled off very easily. I'll take pics in better light tomorrow - but 4 layer plastic chainmail is a thing of wonder :-)

There was one other thing I did during the build of the printer. Or rather did not so.

It comes with a big metal baseplate, I did not fit that.
As long as you tidy the cables up with some cable ties so that nothing drags on the ground - there is no point fitting the base plate and several reasons not to.

1) much much better heat dissapation - all the plate does is to keep all the heat in there. Without it everything stays a lot cooler and there is plenty of air circulation.

2) if you ever need access to the electronics and wires - all you need to do is tip the machine on it's side. No big awkward metal plate to remove.

It's not needed, so I'd recommend you don't use it.

Some of those little sticky anchor points would be useful.
