If you were to try one, which one would you do? I’m thinking the HTPLA because it’s rigid while the nylon is bendable

Also does your printer vibrate? Mine does at 45-60+ mm/sec with 150mm/s travel speed and i get vibration/ringing lines on cylindrical prints for some reason, i print at 206-210 with hatchbox

I don’t know enough about these materials to even make a guess.
How about: Try to find a vendor that sells you a sample and try both?

Yeah, it vibrates. Sometimes things start to resonate on top and it shakes even worse. It’s not the stiffest plattform on the planet and frankly, I think the default speeds are too high. But then again i never bothered to slow it down either, i am quite content with the results it produces.

Cleaning and a bit of sewing machine oil on the x & y axis rods helps make the head move more smoothly, at least in my opinion that should cut back on the vibrating a bit.

I bought both :slight_smile: and i do oil my axis i’m at 30mm/sec now and 10mm/s on Z-axis which seems to help some but still vibrating a little. I’m going to see if the dampers i make work. I’ll try with Carbon Fiber HTPLA first

I guess it was because it was printing too slow and clogged. i went up to 60mm/s and prints are working so far

You were able to print fila flex and wood filament without any modifications except the settings? no upgraded nozzle or anything?

Original 0,4mm brass nozzle that came with the printer. No modifications at that time.

There are mods out there to make printing with flex stuff easier. And for woodfill filament a slightly bigger nozzle like 0.5mm helps as well… But back then I was doing it on a stock configuration playing with settings only. Slowly and evenly and avoid retractions.

Thats really cool, i thought you had top have a special extruder and nozzle for flex and wood filament. but you can get a nozzle to use different stuff to? like the protopasta filament?

There’s all sorts of different nozzles available for the Dremel 3D20, since it uses a pretty common hotend (MK10 if i recall correctly)… in different sizes and materials. If you mean Protopastas Carbon Fiber filament, a hardened steel or at least plated nozzle would be good, yes. And for woodfill stuff, a 0,5mm nozzle or even a bit bigger helps to avoid clogging.

Yes…

(You can also use the free Autodesk PrintStudio)

Which fila flex did you use? Because there are many different types and i don’t want to buy one and it not to work.
