First print. Some imperfections are still there but nothing that can't be fixed.

First print. Some imperfections are still there but nothing that can’t be fixed. Red PLA. Dimentions are spot on. Today I’m going to try printing a new extruder

Looking good.

Very nice, what print settings did you use? temp, layer, speed etc

Igor_Kolesnik · July 21, 2015, 4:48pm

.1mm layer hight, 200 C, PLA, 40% infill and 4mm shell. That was a slow print, 2 hours on 40 mm/s with 30mm/s on the outer layer

Thanks for that info, it looks great and what machine did you build? Was this done on Slic3r or Cura?

I will definitely have to slow my prints, thin out my layer and have more patience. Initially I was thinking 20 minutes on that part you printed.

I wanted to print so badly so I decided to assemble it from what I have. Eventually it will be spider V2. But for now you might find some hot glue in strategic places. Model was sliced with Cura.

Hello @Igor_Kolesnik , can you take a picture of your printer? I’m really curious how you hot glued it.
