Here’s the Marvin I made for our review out of 910. Been practicing with the material for about 2 days and figured, why not make my marvin out of this nice new filament.

This was made with a Makerbot Replicator Z18 with of course highly customized settings. Little Marvin took 3 hours because of how slow the print needed to be with the material. I think given some cleanup he’ll look great, and be very hard to break.

Waiting on a few of the filaments I have to be added so I can add them.

Nice, nylon is pretty hard to work with. Make sure you keep the filament in a sealed container and put in some fresh silica gel, or moisture will get in and ruin your print quality…

Thanks, yea I plan on it, in the ERND mini office I’m planning to have a storage case for each filament with each having desiccant (color changing renewable). Then a main bin with desiccant for spares. We have a ton of filament options right now for our prototyping: https://www.3dhubs.com/albuquerque/hubs/excalibur-rnd I have a few not on there yet that I’m slowly getting added including bismuth and tungsten impregnated filaments.

This goes for the ProtoPasta Carbon filament too - mine is no good after not storing it properly

Great job!

Can you elaborate on the setting changes you needed to make, and also what base did you use on your build plate as well as the temperature?

Looks great! Would you be willing to share your settings and what you used on your build plate? I have a z18 too.

I went by emails so I’m a little out of order, I replied to another comment with basically the same question.

I’ll reply to both at once here 255 temp, 55 chamber temp, fans 100%, with print speed 5 mm/s except the raft which is 1 mm/s.

Using just default makerbot print surface with the addition of kapton tape on it.

Edit: I almost forgot, if your doing a smaller print you may want to increase time per layer and play with fixed shell layer point.

For my marvin I had 5 seconds per layer, and no fixed point.
