Re: Cylinder head cooling fins not printing well

So I was able to get the outer rings to print cleanly by adding supports with the following settings: Support type: Grid Amount: All 90 degrees Pattern Spacing: 3mm Infill Angle: 0 degrees interface Layers: 2 X and Y distance: 0.5mm ZGap: 5 Layers IMG_1621.JPG Is there another setting(s) that I coul...

Re: Cylinder head cooling fins not printing well

Re: Cylinder head cooling fins not printing well

No, Not using support.
0.5mm nozzle, I have watched it print the bottom layer of the overhang seems to be pulled up by the Nozzle as it passes by.
The rest of the print is clean of any burns so I think its just areas where the ABS followed the nozzle.

I'll try printing it with a grid support

Cylinder head cooling fins not printing well

Any ideas on whats causing the overhangs not to print well? The flat on the melted side (bottom photo) is the bottom attached to printer bed. Material is ABS, Layer height set to 0.1mm bed is set to 90c, and hot end to 225c. Though I have seen it drop to below 217 while printing. IMG_1599.JPG IMG_15...

Looks like one side has straightened out but the other is still effected.
Z tower facing side is now close to straight but the X - Y facing sides are still effected by something.

Re: Z resonance test print what do I check?

I was not able to move the nozzle but I loosened and re-tightened it.
Trying the print again.

Any thoughts on where to look next if this does not fix the issue?

Z resonance test print what do I check?

I completed the assembled my MAX V2 on Monday. Trying to get it calibrated now. Z resonance test print: The print starts off nice and seems to sway a bit at 7 cm and again at 11 to 14 cm. I did find my Z cheapskate had some friction and I pulled it apart and put it back together and the friction is ...
