Topic: Wow.

Around eight months ago I decided to try out the Taulman tglase filament. After many many failed prints, weird filament texture, extreme lack of parts sticking to bed, and extruder gear jams of knotted filament, I gave up and went back to ABS.

Then today, when a PLA print jammed (YET AGAIN...) I decided to pop in the tglase.

Works like a charm. Perfect sticking. Excellent quality. No issues. What the heck happened tongue.

Just surprised.

Re: Wow.

I have had various degrees of success with T- glass The latest try was at 265C for the hotend and 70C bed temp.I just used blue painters  tape.The print did fairly well. What  temps did you use?

SD3, E3D hotend,linear bearing on x/y axis',pillow block bearing on y conneting rod, ball bearngs on front y axis, fan on y stepper motor.

Re: Wow.

Just did 220C (should be actual, using an E3D) and it worked extremely well. A little bit of stringiness but over all a very very nice print. Also no warp whatsoever. smile The bed was at 95C but this caused the bottom of the print to spread out a bit so lower is probably good. Bed material is hairspray on glass.
