    MY aluminium plate sits on top of the original printbed - which is not even close to being level.

    lol the psu was second hand - I just pulled one from a dead pc.

    Anyway that's all changed and working. And wow doesn't the ductfan make a difference !

    Here's the lastest marvin. printed at 0.2 and 0% infill. Hollow :-)


    So not only was the left one printed faster, it was on it's own.

    Brilliant :-)

    Hollow sphere currently about halfway through. And looking pretty good :-)



    Okay spot the difference :-)
    I can print ping pong balls ;-)

    Unbelievable difference - I am so glad I talked you into getting a flashforge.
    :-))))))

    Cool stuff man! I need to start printing more hollow models too, the difference in quality is huge at times and I don't need the strength that the infill give me.
    The only thing I see that you could improve on is your first few layers; do you heat the bed while printing? If not; you could try printing a larger 'brim' for the first 5 layers, just to give your layers some time to cool down. Or simply print an object next to it that's only 0.5mm high.

    Haha, I thought exactly the same thing about those ping-pong balls!

    I am the one that's happy being talked into a Flashforge; the options to mod these things is great and for the cost they have a very good quality (aka great bang-for-your-buck!)
