First mostly completed test hollow cube

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

; generated by Slic3r 0.9.9 on 2013-12-25 at 20:33:51

; layer_height = 0.2
; perimeters = 3
; top_solid_layers = 3
; bottom_solid_layers = 3
; fill_density = 0.2
; perimeter_speed = 30
; infill_speed = 30
; travel_speed = 200
; nozzle_diameter = 0.5
; filament_diameter = 1.694
; extrusion_multiplier = 1
; perimeters extrusion width = 0.85mm
; infill extrusion width = 1.02mm
; solid infill extrusion width = 0.85mm
; top infill extrusion width = 0.85mm

G21 ; set units to millimeters
M107
G28 ; home all axes
M104 S205
M190 S65
; G1 Z5 F5000 ; lift nozzle
G1 Z300 F3000 ; lift nozzle
M42 P6 S255 ; Turns on PEEK fan, may not be needed
G90 ; use absolute coordinates
G92 E0
M82 ; use absolute distances for extrusion

; -- G1 bits stripped out for size ---------------------------------------------------------------

G92 E0
M107
M104 S0 ; turn off temperature
M190 S0
G28 X0  ; home X axis
M84     ; disable motors
M42 P6 S0 ; turn off PEEK fan, may not be needed
; filament used = 4224.7mm (9.5cm3)

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.
