Noob seeks advice from veterans...
Hi Folks
I purchased a DaVinci 1.0 on sale as my starter machine. It's pretty neat, and I'm using it to test some stuff at work.
I'm suspecting the machine might have too low a resolution for fine work, but I thought maybe someone here could give some advice. I'm trying to make a drill adapter that is a standard hexagonal on one side, and a pentagon on the opposite side. The problem is that when I print the item vertically the corners of the pentagon are round and the product come out looking like a giant mess of plastic or irregular shape.
I tried printing it horizontally, but of course it has trouble with the upward sloping sides of the hex.
I may try printing it in two halves next and gluing them together, but I'm wondering if I'm just doing something wrong. I tried setting it to SLOW print speed and setting the layers to 0.1 without results.
Any ideas on improving print quality?
