thanks I am on it.
- step is now correct
- filament diameter also.
doing now some tuning
first layer is too thin to fix everywhere on bed. (I test using ei8htohms calibration cubes)
Which parameter make more material for first layer only ?

You should just need to change the Nozzle Diameter under Printer Settings->Extruder .

Other than that, you need to also recalibrate your Extruder Flow Rate and adjust accordingly the Filament Diameter and Flow Multiplier under the Filament settings in Slic3r.

Nothing other than that should need to be done, and no one can calibrate the flow-ratio for you as its all very printer specific...

Hi, Hi received my nozle .5, installed it and began to check print.
seems no more clog.

Thanks all for that result.

now I have the following problem and I am looking for the right slic3r conf for Laywoo + .5 nozzle and best possible resolution.

my tries are not fabulous as there is a lot of oozes.
if one of you have an existing S2 conf for slic3r for laywoo with .5 nozzle (or skeinforge) it would be glad ;-)

thanks

I haven't yet managed to get that damn nozzle separated from the brass barel ... and I tried unscrewing it when the hotend is still hot and so on. I'm really frustrated regarding that. Maybe I should be a bit more forceful now that I have 2 j-head hotends.

The .35 nozzle might clog. The .5 nozzles from Makergear are only about $5 and screw on to the stock SD hot end. You don't need to buy another hot end unless you don't want to bother with unscrewing the nozzle.

So ... I just ordered 4 x 250g of Laywood-D3 1.75mm. Should I get a 0.5mm j-head for it or will a 0.35 nozzle print it too? Any definitive info?

I hope my PLA mk4 extruder will hold long enough to print one in ABS.

I will try both. I don't know anyone in Paris

Anyone with a 3D printer in Paris can make you those parts. But buying a small amount of ABS is a good route to go.

so I need to buy ABS or find some Paris France SD2 user that can help me building it.

PLA can soften from 50 degrees up. Holding a 200 degree extruder (even though the PEEK will be cooler than this) won't be successful.

ok understood. I bought a MK5
I print in PLA it is OK ?
how do I manage the T° heat tester ? I have to tape it at each change ?

thanks

You don't need to buy anything. I just recommended printing out this extruder - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:47561/ to replace the acrylic because if you need to get the hot end out to replace the nozzle, it is a lot easier with the printed version. It still holds the Solidoodle hot end, there is no need to buy a new one. If you want to switch nozzles a lot, then it makes sense to buy a new hot end so you can have one hot end with a .35 nozzle and one hot end with a .5 nozzle. It is a lot easier to swap hot ends than to always be unscrewing the nozzles.
