			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>overall I am quite pleased with the testing results. It prints quite consistently across all 5 colors</p><p>I did make a goof when I went to load the last color - accidentally hit the kill button instead of pause (oops) and then knocked the print loose from the bed. <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/sad.png" width="15" height="15" alt="sad" /><br />got out my trusty glue stick, stuck it back down, a little bit off, but close enough and then found the correct layer in g-code and deleted everything prior to that layer... and restarted the print. It worked - sort of... LOL the previous layer had cooled too much for good adhesion, plus the model was slightly off from its original position, but all things considered, it isnt too terrible...</p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?70gEvsQ.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?70gEvsQ.jpg" /></span></p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?sk5hnhz.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?sk5hnhz.jpg" /></span></p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?8tETPC1.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?8tETPC1.jpg" /></span></p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?m72Nio0.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?m72Nio0.jpg" /></span></p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?b5zZAsi.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?b5zZAsi.jpg" /></span></p><p>When I set up to do this, i averaged the 5 diameters and picked the filament closest to that number for slicing purposes - not ideal, but it worked pretty well considering. Printed on my SD4 #1.</p><p>all settings remained the same throughout the print including temps - hotend was at 236C, bed at 90C<br />Layer height: 0.2963<br />Perimeters: 3<br />top &amp; bottom layers: 3<br />infill 10%<br />print speed: 40mm/s <br />and no layer fan... </p><p>I think the grey could have been run a little cooler, might have done a better job of bridging if it had been (eye sockets).<br />The pink bridged pretty well at that temp (bottom of body between legs), but again, might have benefited from a slightly lower temp.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>That&#039;s awesome quality even for the inconsistent diameter between colors. Blobbing and overhangs seem to be under control when increasing the scale, so it seems thermally stable with controlled moisture in the samples.</p><p>I still haven&#039;t been able to test, but I am very anxious, so I will post here. Thanks for starting a thread.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>so while at the Milwaukee Maker Faire we got our hands on some samples from Wisconsin based Coex3D - really nice folks, too.</p><p>In all I got 5 different colors in ABS - I think Azerate got 6, one of them being PLA...</p><p>as with any new filament, I broke out the calipers and started measuring to get average diameters...</p><p>Black = 1.77mm average<br />Grey = 1.79mm average<br />Pink = 1.80mm average<br />Red = 1.82mm average<br />Turquoise = 1.77mm average</p><p>All a little on the large side for a 1.75mm filament</p><p>loaded up the black and did my usual calibration cubes, no problems, got it dialed in pretty well and did a test print of the Companion Cube w/flat bottom that can be found on thingiverse. The resulting print looks quite nice.</p><p>a comparison with one done in Octave green...</p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="http://soliforum.com/i/?NIGzG05.jpg" alt="http://soliforum.com/i/?NIGzG05.jpg" /></span></p><p>so I am currently running a print that I plan to use all 5 colors on to get an idea of how well each prints. That print is an Advanced Marvin at double scale. Just finished swapping out to the 3rd color and so far so good.<br />will post a picture when completed.</p><p>the red is a bit too on the orange side - the color could be better, but it seems to be printing well enough<br />the pink is a nice shade - Bazooka bubble gum pink is what i would call it - that is what it reminds me of, anyway. </p><p>more later...</p>]]></content>
