So far I'm using the same retracting settings except for an extra mm of length.
30mm/s. 2mm length. I haven't been able to test any further unfortunately after the tanks. My order of filament from makergeeks.com was on backorder so I'm dry atm. I will be doing extensive testing once more comes in.
As for the feed system, im using the linked extruder from thingiverse and the parts that came with the bowden e3d hotend. Im still using the drive gear, idler and stepper that came with my doodle.
]]>what is a Rev E printerboard, and RtRyder changes? and whats with external Y axis motor? and GT2 pulleys? M3 Z screw... never heard of these mods. are some of the newer mods like them better? like several motherboad mods now plus duel extruder stuff and firmware/software etc. I think some have to be done just to swap out original extruder with E3D v6
]]>This allows the ability to reach faster speeds since the weight of the motor is placed elsewhere, but some users claim this is less accurate....but it seems accusedmonk is doing quite well for himself!
]]>some times used 1mm layers
those pics are very promising so far. have you got stl files for parts needed to install the bowden? and can the extruder you used do higher temp materials and flex filaments also?
]]>I get better definition of course along the Z, but the area that it has to print when standing upright is so small my first one fell off ha. I'm going to bury the model a bit to make the bottoms flat, then I'll post another pic.
The one on the left is printed upright, then the previous one for comparison. It's mainly just better definition in the wheels.
Here is the upright printed turret, I didn't think the barrel would fair too well, but this PolyPlus filament is amazing.
