I think its been only two weeks since we’ve got this printer and I am happy to report that the spool of filament that we’ve received is finished. Here’re the results.

There are some test prints and Marvins missing from the picture, but it is pretty much how much you can print with a 1 kg spool however some of the prints are pretty massive over here.

The main learning so far - This printer is a great device for people to effortlessly print non overly complex models one after another.

Best practices on printing Marvin:

The best one I’ve got was with standard settings , but with medium quality. A raft is necessary and the Marvin should be facing the other way ( so 180°).

As you can see some retraction settings should still be altered.

My next favorite print was the Marvin mold for our beach trip!

The big vase took about 24 hours to print and is huge! Apart of prints not sticking to the buildplate or printing in the air a few times, once it started to print none of them failed.

Also, most of them were printed with the exact same settings: the standard settings provided by the manufacturers.

Here’s the rundown of the files I’ve printed: Ford Focus RS, Bulbasaur Planter, Wall Flower Mount, Sand playset, plantPOT, Zortrax vase

Show me what you guys have printed :wink:

I’ve got one at home. It actually prints quite good. But mainly, there’s no fuss around it. I once had a clogged nozzle, and the be3D support was extremely helpful. The prints you’ve done look great. Is it the original DeeGreen filament?

I used one that dissolves in the water. I simply saw the color and poped it into the printer without much thought - my bad :frowning:

I am afraid that this is mostly the matter of opening it and cleaning the nozzle. (hope so)

PVA?

Let’s hope so. My nozzle had to be replaced, but once again the customer support was really helpful – I got a new one real quick (granted, both me and be3D are based in Prague), and had it replaced with a guidance. I wouldn’t attempt to do it myself without assistance though as it can be rather tricky.

I feel like in a candy store, Arnoldas :slight_smile: how long did it take to use the entire spool? :slight_smile:

Actually, I might. The thing is I don’t really have as much time as had hoped. Allow me some time to dig up a few printouts first :wink:

Well I am not printing ver intensly, but wheever I thought of something i just put it in this ‘oven’. So in general i think it took me 2 weeks of part time printing. The huge vase for example printed for 24 hours. The marvin mold did over night. (For vase i used high resolution :wink:
