Post by duvdev »

Hi all,

Thank for all the support I get from you all, slow and stedy ...

first I want to know is i can speed up the prinint, currently I am useing the defults from seemecnc site. how fast can I print ABS and PLA?

second thing I tried to print a clibration cube from thingiverse. all the cube is fine but the top level - as can see in the attached picture.
what can I do to get a clean and nice print?

I would either add "cool head lift" and set a shorter minimum layer time, or start experimenting with layer cooling fans.

Is this an ABS print or PLA?

I think Jimustanguitar means longer minimum layer time... I would agree... everything looks good till small feature, which means it needs more time to cool

cooling part with layer fans would make the most difference.
PLA and ABS
