Hello Tincho, sorry for the late reply. I've been having more issues with the printer (but got them all solved)

It is the same with lower retraction speeds.
I have 3 layer cooling fans.

Thanks

Hello everyone, I have been trying to print some parts and I'm having major stringing between them. Included is a picture of some test cubes that demonstrate it more clearly. I'm printing with Orb Polymer's Blue Octopus 1.75mm PLA. My bed is at 60C and my hotend is at 185C. I have the MAX v2 printer ...

250mm/s did not turn out good, bumps on the outside all over the place (Don't have pics, I took off build plate before I thought to take pics *facepalm*)
Looks like 200mm/s is about as good as I can get.. I might try lower, like 100mm/s.

Here are some pics with 200mm/s on the "non-print moves" setting: http://prntscr.com/dglur1 http://prntscr.com/dglv6m This is a pic on 15mm/s: http://prntscr.com/dgob29 As you can see, it's still stringing. Changing it to 15mm/s made the strings thicker and more numerous. The PLA material used is ...

Ok.

So decrease retract speed to 15mm/s? Or drop it down in 10mm/s increments until it works?

Here is a pic with current settings:

The strings are still there but there is a great improvement (This is the MatterControl retraction cubes)

Above is with normal settings, I will print something with my new settings and put pictures of it.

I will put some pics up here (Sorry, thought I put pics up there):

Can anyone help me?

Hello all, I have a Rostock MAX v2 with MatterControl and I have sorted out all issues with ABS! So, now I'm having issues with PLA, specifically Retraction. Nothing I do seems to fix it, here are some pics of my settings: Retraction Settings: http://prntscr.com/dga0x1 Speed for non-print moves ...

Got my first successful print of the printer yesterday... At least I have learned what to do and what not to do!

Got the PEI plate on, now for the enclosure! I will post pics of the plate soon, along with the whole machine!

Sorry for not posting at all, been busy, and I come back to my printer and everytime I try to print the hotend platform keeps hitting the Y axis tower. So I redid the whole calibration process and that fixed it. Going to try to print the tool caddies again..

Ok

Thanks! You have helped me very much!

Would this work: http://www.usplastic.com/catalog/item.a ... &catid=442

Ok, is there a certain material in plastic that makes it unusable in the enclosure?

Can 3/16th plastic be used?

Is there any other material that can be used, that you know of? If not, makes a material not be able to be used?

Will these: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/aaf-a ... AoaM8P8HAQ work? If I buy one of them, would I have enough? One sheet is: 39.99, is that a good price?

Thanks,

How think should the acrylic sheets be (for the enclosure)?

2+ layers of heavy duty aluminum foil in a circle under the glass will work if you can't get actual aluminum sheets.

Hope this helped,

I am printing the tool caddies!

The brackets I am talking about above are to hold the tool caddy I posted a link to in another post (in this thread) so that it can fit on a v2 MAX
