    looks like I've got a fair bit of blobbing. Think I'll have to drop print speed. Or maybe not.
    But it's stuck fine to the bed :-)

    The models i want to make have a lot of overhang. underhang (or whatever that's called) and horizontal round holes.
    Hmm, usually always use 1.0 for multiplier.
    have to try -0.90.
    Certainly looks like there's a wee bit extra plastic coming out that has nowhere useful to go.

    It's interesting you can see the little bits of plastic build up on the nozzle, then stick to the print. They all seem to be sticking inside the void, which needs to be as smooth as possible.
    So that's not good lol
    Tha outside of the model looks great. smooth and clean.
    no obvious stringing,
    Eventually, I'll hopefully, be making these on the ctc i3 - which is direct drive. At the moment they'll be on the delta.
    The outside of the mould is great. But the inside is where all the little bits of plastic accumulated and that's the bit that counts lol
    Strength is superb. Dimensions are acceptable, not quite as accurate as the pla ones - but then I have just scraped the interior excessively with a curved bit of metal (back of the mantis buzzard blade). so that most likely accounts for that.

    All holes for the metal inserts are as good as the pla prints.
    So just need to sort that tiny bit of blobbing and we're good to go :-)


    what browser are you using ?
    The format thing does ring a distant bell.
