Topic: Questions for other HicTop 3DP-11 owners
So I recently received and built my 3DP-11 kit and using the included filament have successfully printed off 5 objects. and I have a series of questions to ask which I will split into groups:
Group 1: General maintenance and repair
What nozzles should I buy?
What endstop switches should I get?
What belts should I buy?
What thermocouples should I buy?
Any other Hot End parts?
Any Servo motor replacements?]
If the control board or LCD board were to fail what should I get to replace them?]
Group 2: Filament Choice
What Filament brands work well?
Any special precautions I should take with any filaments?
What bed and hot end temperature combinations work well with your suggested filaments?
Group 3: Upgrade paths
Has anybody gotten Octopi to work with the 3DP-11?
I've been reading about lead screws should I replace the threaded rods that come with the kit using them?
Should I build en enclosure?
Are there any parts that I can print to upgrade the printer? Do I have to try to design them? (like something to better hold the Z axis guide rod than that thin metal plate)
Any Hotends that I should use instead of the one that comes with the kit
Any Other upgrades?
Sorry for the wall of text but this is my first 3d printer and I am loving it, I just want to know everything I can.
