I generally go no more than 50% of the nozzle diameter, especially where there is overhang. I can't say I've run test prints with a very thick layer, but if layer bonding is important to you, it doesn't seem like a good idea. I could be wrong. Larger nozzles make a huge difference in print speed. I ...

This is an N series. Is the carrier different on the Pro?

Machine is running with the new fan arrangement. The hot-end cooling appears to be a bit inferior to the factory setup. I may try to find a spot to place one more fan to feed cool air to the heat sinks - might just be pulling in hot air from the heat blocks. The air flow seems good. The print coolin...

I thought you were saying the bed before printing was off by 2-3mm. What you're saying is that you're getting 2-3mm of warp in an ABS print. That is believable. ABS can be tricky material, and not all ABS filaments are created equal. I've had some that I've never been able to print with and others t...

Who's the poor, unfortunate, sadistic soul who designed the bearing retention for these things? The X-Axis bearing isn't a big deal, but the Y-Axis has two circlips - one practically inaccessible due to the filament tubes, the other is locked in place in a narrow groove because there's no clearance ...

Are you sure you're not missing a decimal on your measurements? A 2-3mm deviation from flat would be huge. .2mm is still a lot, but more understandable. If you are seeing a rise in the center, I'm guessing it's actually slight sag of the cross rods supporting the print head. The simply supported rod...

Ran the first set of parts last night. Air flow from both fans feels good. Made a couple of minor design changes and the second set is printing now. Should be able to put the machine together tonight or tomorrow and I have three multi-day prints to run right off the bat - so if I've created any issu...

I've always wanted to add controllable cooling fans to my N2 and N2 Plus printers, but never got around to designing anything until today. This is just the first pass, and I haven't made or tested anything yet - but I hope to have parts for this weekend. Have some clear eSun PC for the job. All the ...

STP and IGES

Need to replace gantry bearings and rods on my N2 + after over 3500 hours of trouble-free printing. I ordered the wrong bearings - didn't get the long LM8 bearings - the proper bearing is LM8LUU. So having the head apart and waiting on the correct bearings, I had the opportunity to model up the bits...

How 'bout if you swap X and Y motor cables on the controller board. It could be a wiring issue. You won't want to let an axis plow into the limit switch, but you could start a home from the middle of the bed and quickly kill power when things start moving. If you swap cables and Y doesn't move while...

I've used PLA and PC with a .2mm nozzle.
Have you tried raising the temperature on your ABS?

IMHO, .45 layer is too thick for a .8 nozzle. Since support separation is controllable only by the number of layers of separation, you need to tweak your layer thickness to optimize your support. If your layer thickness is too great, the first layer on support is too far away from the support and pr...

When figuring out a new filament or process I often print out a bunch of little test parts, each one printed at a different temperature so I can see which one has the best appearance, layer strength, or whatever it is I'm looking for at the time. The problem is that once the parts are off the plate ...

FWIW, I often print parts with through holes for reinforcement rods. I use steel. I'll leave a straight hole in a part - for small holes I will ream them to size before driving in the rods. Larger holes I can generally use as-printed if I'm careful about the ID. I'll put a small helix in the hole, o...

Looks like the extrusion width is spot on. I'd still suggest increasing the flow rate a bit. That will get you a fatter bead without increasing the shell spacing. Should result in better bonding on the sides of the shells.

Been giving this some thought myself. I plan to mount the thermocouple board on the print head so I don' t need to run thermocouple wire through the machine. Also going to look at the chips on the Raise board that's up there already. If it's the same chips as the Duet board, maybe it would work for ...

The overlap percentage only impacts thin walls where shells are being squeezed down in an effort to maintain the geometry. I don't use IdeaMaker, so I could be wrong here, but it looks like you need to go to the ADVANCE tab and check the Override Filament Setting box to increase flow rate overall. I...

I generally use no cooling on ABS. I've seen this on PETG prints, but don't think I've ever had perimeters separate on ABS. Also, you should look at your flow or extrusion coefficient values to make sure you're getting the extrusion width you're asking for.
