<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — Some positivity... no failed prints on my Press]]> https://www.soliforum.com/topic/10859/some-positivity-no-failed-prints-on-my-press/ Tue, 21 Apr 2015 03:03:29 +0000 PunBB <![CDATA[Some positivity... no failed prints on my Press]]> https://www.soliforum.com/post/93627/#p93627 I thought I'd inject some positivity into this Press forum.  I think the design adjustments that Solidoodle made to the recent batch of Press units prior to shipment have made a world of difference in the end user experience.  My Press already had the extruder fan flipped, the wiring bundle tension spring installed, the extruder connector strain relief installed, the missing bed screws installed, and the hobbed gear tightened.  As a result, I haven't had a single failed print since unpacking my Press.

Some people have complained about bed adhesion problems but I haven't had any issues with smaller prints without applying anything extra to the bed glass.  Yesterday I attempted to print something a little bigger so I applied some Elmer's glue stick to the bed.  I was printed a wireless Qi charging base for my smartphone which measured about 6"L x 3"W x 1"H.  I had absolutely no bed adhesion problems and no curling/warping problems.  This was with the bed at 100C, the extruder at 230C, and the resolution at .3 mm.
