Playing around with cranking up the feed rate to see how fast the printer can go.
PLA / ABS ? Board?
@Ronald_King alignment at the corners all stayed good. Circles good but a little more artifacting. Had to bump temps from 198C to 207 at 250% speed.
@Kevin_Billett 1.75 abs from microcenter. Board is an azteeg x3.
What slicing software did you use?
Nice looking printer, what is it ? Is that a corexy setup ?
@Eclsnowman , so I guess you decided to stick with core xy, looks pretty good. Try using hex infill. It takes a bit longer, but gives much more thermal strain relief and prevents the part from curling and lifting off the bed. Rectilinear is notorious for that
@Cameron_Southall yup corexy variant of my own design. Its a continual WIP.
@Spenser_Lee slic3r
%250 what original speed?
Base speed was perim@60mm/s, infil@75mm/s, travel@120mm/s. So 250% of that is what the video shows.
looks like it is running smooth.
@Nuker_Bot_NukerBot_3 I still have slight nipple on circles at 45 degrees (the reversal location of the stepper on corexy). But only in relation to the long side of the corexy belt. No racking to be seen. I may increase idler diameters to smooth things out. Also thinking about spectra vs belts. Lastly I am getting Igus drylin linear bearing samples from the local rep to see if it runs better than the PBC Frelon bearings I am currently using.
Nice, I am thinking of using spectra line on my new printer and I have been using Igus polymer bearings for a while now and they run very smooth with little maintenance, try sanding down your rods with some high grit sand paper before installing them to make them extra smooth
@Nuker_Bot_NukerBot_3 my rods are ceramic coated aluminum. No sanding needed.
nice, what are they called?
Thanks for the link, now I have to look into this.
I just wanted to chime in. I too use Igus bushings and they run really really well. Now I too have to check out the ceramic coated.
Im in the process of building a corexy mockup with spectra. Ill let you know how it goes. Im excited to try it.
I used the Igus polymer bearings in one of my router builds and loved them. Their only downfall is they are expected to be pressed into a hole so they are slightly oversized and when you press them they will fit perfect. At least the ones I got. I dont know if they are all like that.
