Here is some information for those that are trying to print with T-Glase.
Orion with E3D V6 hot end .4mm nozzle stock
Using glue stick on glass bed worked well (Always calibrate head when changing anything)
I put mine to within .05mm of bed.
I ran this part with skirt 15mm from part with 2 lines to make sure it was printing well.
Extruder temperature 240 deg C
Bed temperature 60 deg C
Fan on for all layers 60%
Print speed 3mm/sec
Layer height .35mm
Part is hollow with no base ( would look real nice painted with the new stuff that makes T-Glase clear)
Any critique appreciated just posting this so people having trouble printing with T-Glase have a starting point.
Still learning myself thanks to all the help I have received from the kind people on this forum.
This part is a model of a glass hollow Retroreflector

Re: Printing with T-Glase
Excellent print from a difficult to use filament.
You prove that it can be done!

Every time I load up my spool of T-Glase something strange happens.
Looks like I need to get my E3D-V6 installed.

I see MakerGeeks has a new brand of "optically clear" ABS. It's even food safe!

Re: Printing with T-Glase
Increase the extrusion width in your slicer, the filament is very prone to snapping when stretched, I went through a reel of the stuff before I realized.PrintableStudios wrote:Witchcraft!

I suspect all the people reporting it being easy to print are using Slic3r with default extrusion width since it picks what I would normally consider to be a width that is way too high for the nozzle diameter.
