First mostly completed test hollow cube

[replicant]

So, I got my Rostock MAX assembly completed yesterday and figured I'd post up the best of my prints of the test hollow cube.

Here's my G-Code (I tried from both Cura and Slic3r, Cura was definitely the winner with algorithmic choices made, but the success came from slic3r):

Code: Select all

Looks pretty good for your first print. Maybe some experienced users can weigh in on the issues you are facing and hopefully make your prints better.

Looks okay for a first print but more tuning obviously needs done.
Those width values you have look awfully wide. What size nozzle do you have?

Looks like you are running too hot to me.
