G'day from South Western Australia!

Post by craftymethod »

Another Aussie here :)

Seems like there is quite a few of us!

I recently built a Rostock V2 and have been slowly improving my prints through a whole lot of thinking and research. (and many emails to Issac in QLD) ;)

Ive attached a couple photo's of the build and my prints so far!

Ive still got a fair bit of calibration to do... I didn't adjust my "esteps" yet, so ive got some problems filling to my parimeters and cooling my prints enough that when layers get dumped on top they dont bend up and the nozzle sometimes bumps things and makes the hairspray let go.

Only using PLA at the moment :)

And supports... it seems supports don't like working just yet.. but im testing turning my bed way down after the first layer to keep things cool enough not to bed up so I think that might put less strain on my supports as there might be less chance to my nozzle to knock things around if they dont get too warm and bend up.

Working on the Qbert like steps and realised if I turn the bed off after the first layer gets it cool enough to make the top square nice. (still need to install my PEEK fan...

So.. thats my introduction complete :) I'll see you guys around the forums!

Your prints look good. Perhaps a little more tuning and you will be printing with the best of them!
Thanks for showing us your pictures, excellent!
