Printed @3DBenchy with the all metal Ubis 13 on my @Printrbot Simple Metal with Heated Bed. White is old ceramix hotend, black is the new Ubis 13. Retraction is 4mm and 0.4mm for the white and black respectively. Overhangs and fine details print so much better with the new hotend. The slight rippling on the black is micro and is just the way the light catches the object. Unfortunately Octoprint screwed up the timelapse render. See below for settings
Scale: 1:1
Layer height: 0.2 mm
Infill: 10%
Print speed : 30 mm/s
Print nozzle diameter: 0.4 mm
White one has 100% infill because I forgot to change the settings.
As I have bought E3D V6 earlier and fight with it until today (3rd set-up with some tricks and thermal paste), I have to compare the results. Btw: Do you have some solid Cura settings for all metal hot-end yet. (I use Slic3r with E3D V6 as I don’t have fine print from Cura. Somewhere lies the bug.)
@Adam_Steinmark Now I am fighting with a lot of strings (metal hotend + Cura). By the way, what is your favourite combination of values for retraction (in Cura): Minimum travel, Mini extrusion and also Z hop? Or can you share your profile?
@Tomas_Vit I don’t have my retraction fully dialed in yet. I basically use the standard .ini profile for the Simple Metal and just change standard stuff like layer height, print speed, shell thickness etc. Retraction is 0.4mm but I’m bumping it up 0.5mm (Printrbot warns not to stay between 0.3mm and 0.5mm retraction). I kept retraction at 40mms. Post some pics with your settings to this community, I can’t imagine stringing is that bad.
@David_Worth1 It doesn’t fit actually. You can’t really tell by the pictures but the fan mount for the hotend is actually turned a bit and the fan shroud for the original fan is slightly crushed. I’m currently using the latest version of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:356001 . I can’t seem to be able to modify the Solidworks files to fit better so I’m gonna make my own hopefully by the end of the week. But hey it fits if you force it.
