My initial spin on tower bracing and squaring.
Posted: Thu Jan 30, 2014 3:14 am
Here is what I have come up with thus far for tower braces and squaring to help KEEP them square and make the machine less prone to needing re-alignment after being bumped/moved.
I still believe that the top will require a similar treatment for the full affect. But I am happy with the results so far and accuracy does seem to be showing some improvement.

Here is a vase printed at 1.5 scale and at a layer height of 0.1. Vase was printed at above normal speeds. Entire print took approx, 2.5 hours. Not bad at all considering the resolution and the final results. I usually see some artifacting and "ringing" in the corners when pushing a print hard, especially at that resolution. Generally 0.10 res prints do not like being pushed for speed as well.
Material is black seeme PLA.

- 0.10 layer height, great accuracy between layers.
