Anyone printing Taulman Alloy 910 on stock hot end?

Post by EL Cuajinais »

The Taulman website lists the print temp at 245C, which is basically the hot end operating limit specified on the RMAX V2 manual. So, has any brave soul printed alloy 910 on a stock RMAX V2? I saw a print of a friend of mine in this material and was blown away. Can I maybe set the nozzle to 243C and print at 20 mm/s with the stock setup? The manual says the PEEK inside the hot end will melt at 247C.

Still, no replies. Looks like I'll have to take one for the team and assume the guinea pig role on this one.

If you nuke it, I'll sell you my stocker for super cheap since I have the E3D V6 now. Lol.

after a lot of tests with the 910 I found out that white glue with high % of PVA in it is the best way.
And tried all man known test with the 910

with that glue I printed a 7 houres print with the 910 and the result was outstanding.

Try to find that glue on carpenters

Might be a stale thread, but for posterity sake, I've printed several pieces out of 910 with the stock hot end running at basically ABS settings with temps at 240 (bed at 50 with hairspray). Since I was printing parts with fairly high infills (80-90%), you certainly want to wait till the piece cools before removing it off the bed.

Now, I would say I did end up ruining my hot end eventually cause it was seeping plastic through the threads and dripping while printing. You can see the black on some of the pics for http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1252808. I'm in the process of upgrade to a V6 so I can post a pic of what the stock hot end looks like upon request.
