I'd suggest an extrusion width of 1.2 or so. Z-Hop of one layer thickness should be adequate unless the part is warping.

What's your layer height and extrusion width?

I don't use Ideamaker so I'm not familiar with their terms. Judging by your screenshot it is probably the number of shells? Basically how many outer layers are printed. I'd go at least two, if not three.

The last parts I ran with a 1mm nozzle were in PLA and I ran them at 33mm/sec. I didn't arrive at that speed though anything scientific - just figured pushing too much plastic through the hot end could be problematic - and even at that speed it was a pretty rapid build. I used a .4mm layer thickness.

Did the board fit in the existing electronics box, or did you need to make a new enclosure for it? Also, I saw on the other 32 bit thread that you needed the thermocouple daughter-board for the hot-end temperature sensor. Does the bed temp sensor tie to the board directly - so only one daughter-boar...

I have a quad-fan plan I want to implement that won't limit hot-end access any more than the stock fan setup. Anyone have a good CAD model of the N2 head assembly with hot-ends in place they'd be willing to share? It's all pretty simple geometry to model up so it won't slow me down too much if I nee...

If there was a nozzle strike, wouldn't the rest of the print be spaghetti, as the printer doesn't realize there has been a strike (not knowing there has been a physical shift), and would continue printing where it thinks it should be? Also I didn't notice any buildup. I printed a similar piece (the...

Thanks for the info. Sounds worthwhile to me. That Duet web interface looks great.

I have been looking at boards and also settled on the Duet 2 Wifi as looking like the best option. It will be a while before I can dig into that though, as I have some work around the house I better get done before I start taking a printer apart. My current plan is to use all stock hardware (I went ...

You have quite a lot of stringing. If material is picking up on the nozzle during the print, a glob can drop on the build and cause a nozzle strike resulting in a layer shift. On long prints I check the nozzle every few hours when I can. If it's picking up material I will pause the machine and use t...

+1 on glue stick for filled nylon. Prints easy-peasy.

I'll also be watching here.
I have an N2 and N2+ that I'd consider for brain transplants. They've been good machines, but I think 32 bit would be a great upgrade.

That appears to be rotational around the nozzle axis - I would not expect that to cause print issues. I don't have the pro so I'm not familiar with that hot end mount. What layer thickness are you running? If you're running pretty thin layers and using Z-Lift on retraction, you might look into this ...

Is there the possibility to start the print job with the "dump file" later. Where is the dump file stored? The question for me is if I need to print something urgent and stop the actual job and start a new job with a separate build plate. Later load the dump file and start the print job a...

I don't think those steppers would have enough power to do any damage to the machine.

I've never printed ASA. I don't have a PRO. The screws on the flanges of the Z axis ball screws are supposed to be loose to prevent binding.

Yes

Is the gear slipping/grinding into the filament, or is the gear no longer rotating?

Thanks for the update. Wouldn't have expected the bushings to sing. Interesting. If lube is critical something I've done in the past (not on 3D printers) is use heavy felt to retain/distribute oil. Something like a 2mm thick felt washer on each side of the gantry block would keep he shafts lubricate...

Surely you can't do this in vase-mode? Agree - from what you've shown that part cannot be printed in Vase Mode. You need to have a part with one continuous shell so the nozzle can spiral up continuously while printing. If the printer needs to stop the flow of plastic to move to a different part of ...
