Hi Raphaël,

glad to help and good for you that you succeeded now! Thanks for the compliment :wink: !

Kind regards, Guy

Printed a black one yesterday. Thats even a greater challenge because you can see everything on black!

Dear fellow hubs,

Here a custom design for the FairPhone phone case. In case you wonder what it is about: it is a logo for a Dutch political party. It is printed on a Ultimaker 2 with ColorFabb PLA/PHA filament mix, color: Traffic Red. I have a non-default fan shroud. This really makes a different.

The slicer settings were as follows:

  • speed: 25 mms/
  • layer height: 0.15
  • nozzle: 0.4 (the instructions in the pdf talk about 0.6 which I tried but did not deliver expected result on UM2)
  • temp: 215
  • flow: 110%
  • infill: 15%

I’m not sure about wheter to print no infill at all, or at 15%. (Comments appreciated on this).

When printing I print with the top overhang pointed to the right so the fan blows air straight to the overhang. So the tomato is turned to the left, and the overhang points to the right. This way the overhang gets maximum cooling, which makes all the difference. (And of course the ColorFabb filament is just gorgeous and easy to print with).

Best regards,

Merijn
