A few bits testing out new filament

Been testing out some new filament from jagprint. A less expensive option from what's out there on the market. The company still has some adjustments to make but it's descent stuff.

Still need to do some better extruder calibration

In process

Not bad for not adding support.

Also did a two tone vase the clear is from an eBay seller. This was my first stab at two colors and pausing a print I want to start putting it in the GCode as the head melts as it sits while in print

I like the vase, those two tones can't be easy to do.
Great job!

Thanks Eaglezoar I'm learning slowly but surely. Surely need to figure a way to get more a uniform heated bed. my print area is limited due to the warping.

You've tried the hair spray, the glue sticks, the dissolved ABS glue for limiting the warpage? One of them should be of help plus the printing of a brim.

Yeah gave them all a shot, glue sticks was the worse hairspray did pretty good but ABS juice is by far the best at limiting the warpage.

Nice on most of those prints. I like that skull.
