carl_m1968,
i think it is .35 but i am not sure about it. i read tons of posts, reviews so i believe them.
the extrusion width. now i understand why it is set for 4.2 in the slicer (i use some profile from the net). however i dont understand the math behind the nozzle diameter and the width. could you pls explain?
PLA 90 C bed, yes i would try that also and i just printed (not nice) fan mount which goes around the nozzle but havent find the wiring diagram for it. old posts here and pics already been deleted. you guys may have schematics on your machines - i hope
extruder calibration - haven't done yet. tomorrow i try to do that based on soliwiki site. - or do you have better site?
extruder - over extrusion and temperatures - i have no equipment on second reading but the thermistor seems to be tight fitted on the nozzle.
AZERATE,
1) which kind of hotend do you prefer? where to buy? what are the catches?
2) work in progress, fan mount printed out - need wiring diagrams
3) already bought the glass - need to cut to shape
4) completely lost now, could you please explain more. i don't understand the short forms of things like E3D
Thanks guys for help again.
so today i cleaned up the machine get rid of the years of dust. the rods are a bit rusty but cleaned them and applied liquid paraffin (i had this at home) but i will buy some machine grease.
printed a little cube. eeehhh not the best. check that one corner. its just a mess
