New parts for the printer. All hail the Machine God.

 All the parts arrived, installed a brandnew 0.2 nozzle, and checked ever bolt in the head, took out and cleaned whatever dirt was inside. Dumped the roll of filament into the new Filament Dryer before I started all of this. Turned on calibration and.....


 Son of a.....

Took out the 0,2 nozzle and replaced it with a brandnew 0,4. Took out the clean plate and washed it all over again and started a single 15mm test print at 50% speed. Turned out fine. Did the same at 100% speed. Fine again. Duplicated it so I had 9 on the plate, at 100%. Again, fine. 4 28mm sized containers.....also fine.

Guess I will not be printing with 0.2 any time soon, so 0.4 it is. 

9 x 15mm containers test plate

4x 28mm containers test plate

 

Tomorrow I'll slice up a bigger 28mm item and see how well that works. 


Also print up a shrine to the Machine God.

  1. I wonder if your issue is the slicer setting for the nozzle, 0.2. and 0.4 have a different flow rate, and that could cause issues over the print.

    Regardless how wonderful to be able to print again!

    1. No, cause when replacing the nozzle you have manually enter the correct nozzle size in the printer. If you use the slicer with the incorrect size it will simply refuse. But yeah, it is working again...

    2. Ha, that is a lot fancier than mine then! (after all these years they should be better!)

    3. Exactly the reason why I held off for so long. I just want to print, not get a degree is Structural Engineering.
