For the ctc machines they generally need a spring loaded extruder a new thermistor (100k) for the bottom of the heated bed as the one that comes from the factory is incorrect and reads to cold you need to install a fan on the motherboard which requires a mosfet I wouldn’t do this unless your confident you won’t cross a connection as you will blow up your motherboard it’s not really a good first machine as they are quite high maintanence if you want to maintain a high quality and the linear bearings are really bad usually in them so if you want to get one go for it they can be amazing quality machines if you take care of them and 40mms is usually around high quality printing, abs is quite hard to print on ctc machines as they are not enclosed and without the heated bed fix the bed maxes at 95°c set at 130°c Pla is very good quality and reliable if you do normal prints I would recommend 55mms extruding and 80 travel if your not upgrading to sailfish
> 1- is this printer good for a beginner and knowing that printer is my first !!
I would say yes. I’ve no problems with that printer from the beginning
>is it that slow ? 40 mm/s?
It is a little bit slower than my default printing speed. I’m usually printing with 55-60mm/s
>does it need lots of modding ?
nope. But I recommmend an active cooling for your prints. And maybe put a glass plate on you heated bed (I’m more satisfied with that than capon, bluetape…)
Here’s how I reformatted the SD card, you were right about the 2GB limit. It’s more trouble than it’s worth, and I use Simplify 3D with a USB connection.
