Re: Nozzle catching on small detail
ABS's tendency to warp is what's killing you here. The spiral arms are pulling up so they are taller. They spring down a bit when the nozzle is laying down new material but pull back up as soon as the head has moved on. Z-Hop will help here. It can increase stringing though. Since warp is the issue,...

Re: List of Currently Used Firmware and G-Code Commands
fwiw, I do this sort of thing all the time with S3D using multiple processes and either printing separate parts with each process or printing vertical zones in a tower with different settings. No g-code editing required.

Re: Source for Reasonably-Priced Nozzles
I have a few bags of these - they've worked fine. They are shorter than the Raise nozzles, but otherwise they fit/work fine.

Re: Rafts Y/N? (Supports not sticking to bed)
If your raft is hard to remove, increase the separation distance between the raft and your first layer. In IdeaMaker it is "Raft Gap from Model". Adjust the value and print a small test part to check the setting - keep at it until you get the results you want before running a big print. Yo...

Re: Where the devil are the silicone hot-end covers?
Do you need to clean up the heating blocks and nozzles before fitting the socks? Mine have had some close encounters with failed prints, but I wouldn't say the build up is excessive. Probably not critical as I would not expect the silicone to adhere to the plastic residue, but it should be pretty e...

Re: Compliment for Raise3D Pro2
Sounds like it might be worth investing in a UPS for your setup so restarting is not required except in the case of a lengthy outage.

Re: Printing ABS
All ABS filaments are not created equal. I've had good luck with Hatchbox. My current go-to is eSun ABS+. I never got good results on larger parts with eSun ABS. I have tried other ABS filaments and had warp issues. What bed temp are you running - and do you have the fan covers installed, doors clos...

Re: PETG on Pro2
PETG temps depend on the brand and color - I print small vase-mode test parts at different temps to find the best layer-bonding strength. Usually lands between 240C and 270C.

Re: Rough prints against support material
Check your separation layers. For disolvable support you should have separation at zero.

Re: Poor quality and printhead drag
Without knowing where you are starting from, higher or lower doesn't mean anything.
With overhang, layer thickness vs extrusion width is a significant factor.

Re: Poor quality and printhead drag
Hard to provide any sort of advise without knowing your current print parameters. I don't have the factory settings memorized and have never tried printing with them. Nozzle size, extrusion width, layer thickness, temperatures, speeds, etc ... Assuming you are using the .4mm diameter nozzle, I would...

Re: Bracket/Fix for N2 Rotating Z-Axis Ball Nuts
The ball nuts are not bolted tight to the print bed. The bolts are loose to prevent any binding that might occur due to minor misalignment of the linear motion bearings, rods, and the ball screws. The combination of the loose bolts and play in the holes means that the ball nuts are free to rotate se...
