AHH, That’s what the little black elbow is for!
I attached that to the fan tonight. Running another part right now.
I am attaching my first few parts.
The first pic is a progression. Top left is the first print. Bad. The bottom left is the 4th print. I tried painters tape since I was having a really hard time getting parts off the bed. Doesn’t work very well with the heated bed at 100C!!! It also wasn’t right size wise.
The next print to the right is after I bought Simplify3D and found all the parameters for bed temp, raft layers, etc. It popped off pretty easy and fits. These were the spool adapters.
The last print bottom right is the glass bed clamps. They turned out pretty good except for the drooping.
The engine block I printed on fast, .2mm layers, 60C bed and 205C nozzle. It’s ok but the drooping is bad. I printed this before the glass clamps so I thought the clamps would be ok.
The FU hand pics show the better quality of a smaller layer level, better temp control, and supports.
The main questions I have now that I learned a bit about temps feeds and supports is
1: Why would the finger have such a different texture than the bottom? (granted, this was before I put the duct on the fan)
2: What could I change to make the clamps without adding supports? Or is that not possible since it is a 90 degree overhang.
3: What do you use to get the supports off? Some snap off, but the ones inside the palm of the hand look like a problem. I do have a few dremel tools and various bits but when I tried some they grab and dig in.
I am printing a desktop cell phone stand and it is having some other oddities like blobs and strings so when it’s done I will post a pic of that also.
