3d filaprint customer guide by Billyboyclyde

3D FilaPrint Filament Guide Customer live guide - complete with photos and printer settings

Why this guide? With the multitude of printers on the market and the next generation of printers on the horizon, we wanted to create a "live" guide that offers our existing and new customers the opportunity to see and read how our filaments perform. What settings worked well, how successful prints were created and by whom. There are a number of reasons why you may not achieve the perfect print when you first start on the road to 3D desktop printing, as different filaments require different settings. Sometimes what works perfectly well on one 3D printer may well need some fine tuning or flippin' great adjustments to work on another! In addition, information on how to 3D print is becoming more prevailant on the internet. You may have read one piece on one site that contradicted what was discussed on another. This guide should be used to find out what has worked and how, using our filaments, by the people who 3D print with them and that is you. We are hoping that this guide may give you a head start if you are a beginner to 3D or some useful additional information if you are a seasoned "printerist", trying out a new filament. The guide will be compiled using actual photos and information provided by 3D printer enthusiasts like yourself. We will be adding more content as time goes by, as long as you keep sending in your photos and settings, we will keep updating it. During these early stages of its creation this guide may well be updated daily.

If you find this guide useful, then why not upload your own successful 3D print and share it with us. Just provide a clear photo with a few settings and enter the information on this page http://3dfilaprint.com/filament-guide-submission-page/. If you submit a print to the guide we will give you 50 3D FilaPrint loyalty points towards your next purchase from our webshop.

Special thanks goes to Richard Horne of RichRap who kindly agreed for 3D FilaPrint to use his uniquely created images and text for the majority of the coloured nylon prints that you will see throughout the guide and for his knowledge and deep insight into the world of 3D printing. Using Richards words, laying a good foundation is the cornerstone of achieving a great print. There is no better place to start than here, Extruder Calibration. 3D printer calibration and hot-end PID control loop settings are no doubt two of the most important aspects of machine maintenance, if you are to achieve a successful, quality print. If you are new to 3D printing then you may want to take a look at this.

Thanks also go to Tom at Tauman3D for his professional and in depth filament knowledge, for explaining the correct way to use t-glase, and how to achieve the best results for this excellent filament View here. We would also personally like to thank Simon of Reprapper Tech who is at the Hot End of the filament cycle, for his commitment to quality of product, professional service and attention to detail. Plus a huge Thank You to all of you who have submitted a print.

Black 3D FilaPrint Colour Guide Pictures and settings: Own File - Door Number Thingiverse: Kindly submitted by: Gearhead29 Website Using: CTC CReator Extruder Type: Direct Drive MK7 Nozzle: 0.4 Settings: Extruder temp: 230c - Heated bed: 110c Kapton tape Print Speed: 90mm/s Travelling Speed: 150mm/s Layer Height: 0.2mm Infill: 10%

Time to print: 50 minutes Notes: In addition to Kapton Tape we use an ABS Slurry made up of our waste or reject builds in acetone, this is then painted onto the build plate before it is heated. This allows near guaranteed results as the build is fully adhered tot the plastic coating on the build plate. There is limited deformation because of this. the only difficulty can be removing the build from the table, but we have found the Chinese craft knifes that we received as a free gift in our order from 3D Fila print to be the perfect tool for removing them, much better than the penknife or scraper we had been using.

Blue to White Pictures and settings: Reef Shark http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:112156

Time to print: Roughly 3 hours

Kindly submitted by: RainingHeavy Website: https://www.facebook.com/paffprintprod Using a: Reprap Huxley Bowden Extruder Nozzle Size: 0.5 Settings: Hot glass bed 115c, Bowden extruder temp 220c Print Speed: 40mm/s Travelling Speed: 100mm/s Kapton Tape. Layer Height: 0.2 Infill: 25%

Actual Filament is Blue to White ABS. I got a 10M wrap. This was my first proper foray into printing ABS, and as such, I made a mess on the first attempt: the bed was too cold, and it peeled. Fearing that I wouldn't have enough material I printed the halves separately. as it happens, I was short by a couple of mm! One of it's fins has a white tip, where the filament I sent down the Bowden Tube to push it through was used. Doing this meant that the printer was unable to retract properly, and so the second half is not as neat as the first. My bed grows quite significantly at 115 degrees compared to 60 used for PLA, this made the first few layers quite squished and made a bit of a mess when glueing the two halves together. To do this I used "Impact glue" - contact adhesive; it has a yellowish colour which is slightly visible in the joint. Picture shows it sat on top of my monitor at work; it takes about an hour to get like that, and is completely white by lunch. The colour does change with body-heat, which impresses people. Heat bed at 115 deg for the first layer, down to 110 for the rest. Kapton on Aluminium, cleaned with Acetone (Nail varnish remover!). Printed at 230 deg first layer, down to 220 for the rest. Fan cooling after 5 layers, when layer time was less than 20ish seconds.

Glow in The Dark Green 3D FilaPrint Colour Guide - Our colour prints

Pictures and settings: Android Logo and Dog Tag . http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:130870 Kindly submitted by: Daniel Bull Website: http://google.com/+DanielBull Using a: Nop Head Mendel90 (RepRap) Geared Extruder Hot End Type: J Type Nozzle Size: 0.4 Settings: Hot glass bed 55c, Bowden extruder temp 190c Print Speed: 40 mm/s Time to print: 1 hour and 15 minutes Notes: The Android logo is a straight print in the glowing ABS filament, the dog tag was printed in two parts; a base with raised lettering in black PLA and a glowing panel with cutouts for the letters using the glow in the dark ABS. The two parts then snapped together to complete the tag. Its worth pointing out I found the glow in the dark ABS needs to be printed quite cool, its almost the same as PLA temperatures rather than typical ABS filaments. This may be advantageous to some who have printers which are optimised for PLA. When printing the ABS I used standard A4 plain paper on my bed for adhesion. If you use paper with ABS be careful as its possible that higher temperature ABS filaments may be too hot and burn the paper. I personally found the glow in the dark filament runs cold enough that paper works fine though. (Bed temp actually set at 70c theres a 15c drop through the glass)

Notes: This took so long as because the software even when set to 10% support, still used supports for the whole of the print, all around it, however they did remove easily. The print was also set to maximum fill, so it does feel quite heavy (like the real prayer wheels i guess).

Notes: I wanted to print this out to see how well the Rep 2X did after having two new extruders sent to us from Makerbot (after 800 hours printing both plungers were beginning to fail). All good now though! Although I had to raise the temp for our ABS to 240, normally default on 230. Also now wipe bed each time with a small lint free cloth, very slightly dampened with acetone and a rub of some old white abs "leftovers" (you can tell Christmas is coming). The Chief was sat on the radiator, turning purple when the heater is off, bit like us in the office actually (bosses too mean to put the heating on :) Joking!

Bed temp was set at 130c (there is a 15c drop through the glass so the real temp was 115c) No smoothing has been applied which is why it is opaque. If you look at the photo through the base you can see it is transparent because the base is smooth. If you wished for a perfectly transparent print you would need to use the acetone vapour technique or similar.

They

change the spool holder so it fits the ~200mm x ~69mm spools supplied by 3DFilaPrint.

Each bracket is made up of a male and female half, similar to Nop Heads original design and you need two brackets in total, one for each side. There is also an extended dust trap which needs to be printed which is fitted to the left hand

bracket as per Nop Head's original design. All the nuts, bolts and bearings can be reused from the original spool holders, no additional components are required and also the bolts go through the same holes so no additional drilling is required. The original spool brackets can be swapped back at any time. If printing in PLA make sure you have a few loops so its strong, I used 3 loops personally on the 0.4mm head and have not had any issues with strength. Time shown to print is in PLA with circular 25% infill, 0.2mm layer height and 3 loops. I sliced with KISSlicer, and the time breakdown was 1:40 per female bracket, 2:20 per male bracket, 1:20 for the dust filter. Bed temperature was actually set at 70c (there is a 15 degree loss through the glass on a Nop Head Mendel90 so its really 55c). I also used diluted kids PVA for adhesion which I allow to dry to a mist before printing and wipe off with a damp cloth afterwards.

Pictures and settings: Own Design for washing pole fittings Kindly submitted by: John W Website: Hot end Type: Makerbot Replicator 2X Extrusion Temp: 250c Nozzle Size 0.4 Platform: Cold Bed - Blue Painters tape Print Speed: 90mm/sec Travelling speed: 150mm/sec Infill: 10% - 2 Shells - 0.25mm Layer Height

Taulman Nylon 645 on Makerbot Replicator 2x I prefer to print useful rather than decorative objects, especially with a high impact strength ‘engineering’ material such as Nylon 645. I have plenty of broken things in my shed so what better place to find a candidate for repair. I spotted several broken clothes line ‘props’; we buy a new one every year. It is in their nature to be dropped and eventually the top will snap off and the guides will fall off the base and get lost. They are made of square (18.5mm) section tubular steel and extend by sliding in plastic guides. It would only cost a tenner to buy a new one, but there is nothing wrong with the steel tubing which would otherwise be dumped; it’s my conservational duty to recycle it! Design took an hour. My biggest headache was that while one side of the guide needed to be a nice sliding fit, the other needed to be a good tight interference fit. I only had 10metres of Nylon to hand so I did a test print in PLA to see if I had anywhere near the correct tolerances. Not quite; the sliding fit was good but the tight fit was certainly too tight for PLA. While the tube went in with a bit of persuasion with a hammer, it split at the entry point. Nylon isn’t brittle and it may well be OK but I decided to increase the opening by .25mm and try another print. That went well and I assembled the pole; the slidey bits slid and the fixed bits stayed fixed, good start. Now for the real thing; the first attempt detached from the blue tape after a few layers, I raised the bed so the first layer was well squashed and tried again. It started well but after about 10 layers both sides started to lift. After the 50% point the right side was now raised by 2mm, the left by 5mm! If it completes without detaching completely it will still function as intended so I let it run; I couldn’t afford to lose a couple of metres out of 10 available. At 80% only the central 15mm or so was still attached, but the print completed without falling off.

I modified the second print to remove the chamfered edges on the base putting a larger area in contact with the build plate. It still detached on both short sides at 20% (10mins) but not as much as before. However by 60%, the left edge was detaching more, the Nylon was stuck to the blue tape but the blue tape was lifting from the bed! Again, it would still work as expected, so I let it run to completion. On to the top ‘line catcher’; I test printed in ABS, but unfortunately it was knocked of the bed when the extruder caught the slightly warped turned-up edge it was printing. It’s usually the second extruder that does this. The tips of the dual extruders are 35mm apart; it’s wise to ensure, when possible, that it never passes over your print. Although the second extruder wasn’t to blame this time I didn’t want to give it the opportunity, so I re-aligned the print to have the narrowest dimension on the x-axis. I also added a raft extending 8mm all round to improve adhesion to the bed. The second test in ABS was fine (yellow in photo), so on to the real thing. The print started well, the raft worked and while one edge did start to lift slightly, it didn’t affect the print at all. However, I could see and hear that all was not well. As the print progressed I could hear a crackling accompanied by bursts of steam. I could see that the printed texture of the Nylon was not the same as the sliders I had printed the evening before. The sliders where translucent and felt quite smooth and waxy to the touch. This one was white and rough textured. I had left the Nylon in the printer overnight, I guess that it had absorbed some moisture and this was the result. The print did not progress well; with the steam bubbling away it eventually began to ‘air-print’ and I aborted it. The printed item was quite brittle and snapped easily as would be expected. If I’d had more filament I would have ‘cooked’ it to drive out the moisture and tried again. I used the remaining filament to print an end-plug, just to complete the project. Assembly of the pole was easy, both the sliders and the end-plug were hammered onto their respective ends without splitting or cracking, Nylon 645 is good at that. I even managed to hammer on the failed top section. It doesn’t look brilliant but, as I type, the pole is out in the garden supporting a full line of washing! I will get more Nylon 645 to finish the job properly. Overall, despite the problems, I like Nylon 645 and will certainly be using it again. In fact, my strimmer has a broken spool-holder rendering it totally useless, that’s next on the list for Nylon 645. Summary: Own design clothes pole fixings. Makerbot Replicator 2x. 0.4mm nozzle.

3D FilaPrint Colour Guide Pictures and settings: Own Design Nozzle for Dyson cleaner Kindly submitted by: John W Website: Hot end Type: Makerbot Replicator 2X Extrusion Temp: 240c Nozzle Size 0.4 Platform: Cold Bed - Blue Painters tape Print Speed: 90mm/sec Travelling speed: 150mm/sec Infill: 10% - 2 Shells - 0.2mm Layer Height Notes: Bendlay is a modified ABS. It is a smooth, transparent filament, which is slightly springy, very flexible, and difficult to break by repeated bending. It is, usefully, food-safe. Diameter of sample was 1.71 to 1.73mm. Extrusion temperature range is 215C to 240C. 240C recommended for best layer adhesion for high speed printing. I tried it first by printing a 40x20x10mm open topped box with a three layer base and single wall with a 0.3mm layer height on blue tape at 240C, 90mm/s extruding 150 travelling. It printed well, nice transparent walls and sparkly translucent base. I found the walls quite weak in one corner and snapped the joint easily. The other corners were a lot stronger. The Makerbot slicer doesn’t offset or randomise the start point for each layer, this was the weak spot. I quickly tried the same test on kapton rather than blue tape, it detached completely during the second layer. A layer height of 0.3 was a bit ambitious, I could easily separate the individual layers of the walls and the 3 layer base delaminated just as easily. The same print at 0.2 layer height was markedly better. I have seen Bendlay used for decorative purposes, mainly with vases, some jewellery and also for drinking containers. I’m not really into that kind of thing and prefer to print things that have a more practical use. My Replicator is always full of random bits of filament and scrapings from early abandonments. It needs regular vacuuming. What I need is a long, thin snout; for my trusty Dyson that is. The attachments I have are much too big to reach into the nooks and crannies. I could probably buy one, but I can definitely make one! So that’s what I’ll do. I’m not bad with CAD, so out with the digital callipers to measure-up for a new nozzle. In no time at all it was ready to go. I started the build on blue tape as with my initial testing and it seemed fine until at only 2mm tall I could see that the left side had started to lift. I knew that if I had let it continue it would most likely detach more and more as the print continued, eventually falling off. I knew the bed was level so I adjusted the bed height so that the first layer was virtually etched into the tape – it stuck. I really like watching and particularly listening to a build, but this one, being just circular became a bit monotonous, literally! At 50% of the build I was feeling a bit peckish so, I decided to risk having ‘a nice cup of tea and a piece of cake’, as Worzel Gummidge would say. On my return, fortunately, it hadn’t noticed that I had left the room and had continued printing happily. We had now reached the point where the diameter of the never ending circles reduced to about 14mm and I thought I would add a bit of extra cooling in case it went all wobbly. I recently progressed from fervent blowing to a small fan, currently hand-held unfortunately. This narrow section is 90mm long; and with aching arm and back, I managed to convince myself that it would be fine without extra cooling with 30mm to go. In fact, I was so convinced that I even turned my back on the printer to start this write-up, usually unforgivable; if the printer feels in the slightest neglected it will usually throw a wobbly. The ‘I have finished’ tune sounded after a total build time of 1hr 27mins and I turned to see the finished article shimmering in the warm sunshine. To my surprise, with the slightest touch it came of the tape; lucky it didn’t come off during the build! Fortunate also that the diameter of the object was less than the distance between the two extruders on the Replicator 2x; the unused extruder, in my experience, will spitefully seek out any opportunity to interfere with any print it travels over, usually knocking it off the build plate.

Now, does the finished article fit the Dyson hose? No, it doesn’t! Well, actually, it does, but only after I had sanded the rim off the base layer which had spread outside of its intended path by my efforts to ensure it stuck to the blue tape. It fitted perfectly; the inside of my Replicator is now immaculate. Definitely a Mary Poppins build, ‘practically perfect in every way’. (I was surprised to find my spell checker didn’t know either Worzel Gummidge or Mary Poppins. Not to worry I have added them to the dictionary for future reference.) The thick walls, 3mm at the base and 1.5mm for the nozzle meant it was never going to ‘Bend’, but then I didn’t want, or expect it to. It looked quite decorative, translucent silver, you could stick a base on it and use it as single rose vase! There, I am artistic after all. Summary: Own Design Nozzle for Dyson cleaner. Makerbot Replicator 2x 10% Infill, 2 shells, 0.20 layer height, 240C, no plate heat, 90mm/s extruding, 150mm/s travelling. Filament usage from 10m sample.

Pictures and settings: Puritan House http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:31644/ Kindly submitted by: John W Website: Hot end Type: Makerbot Replicator 2X Extrusion Temp: 190c Nozzle Size 0.4 Platform: Cold Bed - Blue Painters tape Print Speed: 45mm/sec Travelling speed: 75mm/sec Infill: 10% - 2 Shells - 0.3mm Layer Height Time to print: See notes

Notes: A smooth, creamy coloured, hard, springy and fairly brittle filament. I found my 10metre sample was slightly oval having

diameters around 1.72mm and 1.62mm. LayBrick was designed for printing large architectural models so it seemed appropriate to print a building of some sort. I chose The Puritan, a 1920’s era American build-it-yourself house. Yes, I know it was mostly made of wood, but it looks cool and is quite intricate for testing purposes. To print the entire house with 10metres of filament meant I had to scale the original model to 40%

After a quick test I settled on basic settings as follows... Extruder Temp 190C with no build plate heat, 10% infill, 2 shells, 0.30mm layer height Extruding at 45mm/s, Travelling 75mm/s, printed on blue tape. My initial test was to print a small box 30x20x10mm with a single shell. It printed perfectly and was accurate to .05mm in each dimension. The filament flowed smoothly and the single walls built precisely with excellent adhesion between layers and no oozing. Straight on to the First Floor which went well until the front left corner started to look a bit scrappy. The mullions (the vertical bars) in the window frames at this scale were very thin, I could see the stop-start extrusion at these points was giving a stringy effect as the mullions were still very soft. It was an unusually warm day so I opened the windows to get a bit more cooling. Bridging over the st

windows, 1 floor interior doors (10mm), and the staircase, which was unsupported, was very good. nd

The 2 floor mullions (maybe due to the cooling from the open windows?) were fine, although I broke one while trying to ‘install’ a window frame! I was too impatient; LayBrick is quite soft for some time after printing. It actually feels and ‘sounds like’ like damp clay. It sticks well to blue tape but is easily removed, it is, however, best left on the build plate for half an hour to harden before removal and for several hours more before sanding or removing any spurious filament, especially on your mullions! The roof was uneventful until the chimney stack. I noticed it wobbling more with each layer, so I applied some direct cooling, (me blowing hard!) which seemed to help. I’m happy to say that I had estimated the maximum build size fairly well, having just 700mm of filament left upon completion; although I was getting worried watching the 10% hexagonal fill being applied, I’ll bet 5% would have been fine. I had a few centimetres of Laywoo-D3 remaining from the Owl print and quickly printed a door and some windows. While the door wasn’t bad, you could even see the individual panels, the windows, only 5mm wide, looked like ‘Shreddies’, the first layer was a bit too thin. I’m sure with a bit of perseverance (and filament) I could have made a much better job of them. The photos were taken before any tidying up. The banding is mainly due to the intentional planking effect and the window shutters on the actual model. The small scale and 0.3mm layer height didn’t help. Even so, I was quite pleased with the result; the photos are a bit harsh, the true colour is cream not white, as usual it looks better in the flesh. In retrospect, (I’m quite good at retrospect), since the scale was so small, I should have used a finer layer height. Due the detailing of the planking/shutters and the window frames this model needs to be printed at full scale. LayBrick was easy to use and has a nice texture, it looks and feels like clay and sands well. While clay-like soft after extrusion it eventually 'dries' quite hard. Some active cooling would be advantageous on small free-standing features. Material Usage: 1st Floor: 3.75m 13g 35' 2nd Floor: 2.60m 9g 45' Roof: 2.60m 9g 35' Total: 8.95m 31g 1h 55'

This left me with just enough to print my Ultimaker robot which was a success using a temp of 215 as you can see from the picture i got a lot of very fine strings which is not a problem because this material can be sanded and smoothed off or even brush off the fine strings easily.

Pictures and settings: Owl Statue Kindly submitted by: John W Thingiverse: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:18218 Using a: Makerbot Replicator 2X Notes: The original stands at 15cm. tall and would consume around 80g of

material at 10% infill and take 6 hours to print. We had 10metres (approx 22g) to play with so we would be printing a scaled down version at 7.5cm.

The diameter of the Laywoo-D3 filament, having quite a quite rough surface, measured between 1.40mm and 1.87mm at individual points, however measured longitudinally over 30mm lengths it was roughly (pun intended), 1.70 to 1.80mm. While the filament came coiled with a 75mm radius, I found that it would happily coil at 50mm but would spring back to its original radius, you don't really want to re-spool it a tighter radius than supplied. It is quite brittle and would snap easily at a radius of around 15mm. Beware getting it into a tangle! I managed to snap it mid-way through the final print trying to de-tangle. Seeing that the recommended temperature settings were 180 to 245 Celsius, which would give a variation of colour in the finished object between light and a quite dark 'mahogany', I opted to use my Makerbot Replicator 2x with standard settings, 230 Celsius, no build plate heat, layer height 0.2mm, 2 shells, 10% infill extruding at 90mm/s on blue tape. On the first attempt, it was clear that we were under-extruding and I aborted on the second layer. Adjusting the 'feedDiameter' from the standard setting of 1.77 to 1.70, the first few layers went well, but as the print progressed we were still under-extruding. However, I let it run, I liked the effect it was having, it looked like an ancient carving that had been dug out of a peat-bog! However, as we approached the relatively unsupported edges of the body it all 'went west' and I again aborted the print. See photo ‘Attempts 1 and 2’.

I had intended to print the owl as large as possible using 10 metres of filament (larger base in photo); at this point I am glad that I opted to print two owls, because now it was likely that I had only enough filament left to print one! With 'feedDiameter' now set to 1.60, off we go again. Pretty good, all went well until halfway through when I noticed that we had an overlapping loop on the spool which had tightened. 'Oh, dear!’, I exclaimed, 'what an unfortunate thing to happen when you have only just enough filament to finish the item.', or words to that effect! Inevitably, I broke the filament while untangling; it is very springy; delicacy and patience (not my best virtues) are required to pull 5metre lengths of springy, brittle filament through the tangled loops. I had already been informed several times that dinner was over and mine was now stone cold (as usual), so, since the print had continued quite happily during the de-tangle, and was looking good, I estimated how long it would run before I would need to 'change filament' (to continue with the broken-off section), and presented myself for feeding. Deciding not to tempt fate, I returned, food in hand (on a plate) to watch the build. It really is no different to a 'TV dinner' and often the viewing is considerably more exciting. Changing filament to continue with the section I had broken off was uneventful, and the print continued to completion in 2 hours and 24 mins. with 973.27mm (approx) of filament to spare! What a relief! See photo ‘Final’. I'm no photographer; a bird in the hand is worth two in a photo. Once the optimum extrusion rate was established, Laywood-3D printed very nicely. At a 0.2mm layer height the texture of the material masked the visibility of individual layers, the printed item had a very nice feel, and yes, it does smell like wood. We did have a few 'dropped stitches’ on the overhangs and the feet showed some bridging which would probably be rectified by modifying the 'retract' settings. Fill was set to 10% and the item was quite strong, however, I did not test to destruction. Overall, a very pleasing result, I will definitely be using Laywoo-D3 again, perhaps for furniture for my nieces doll's house? I would like to try variations of temperature during a print to get that realistic looking wood annual-rings effect which I have seen done elsewhere. With 10 metres (22g) to play with, the finished article was 77mm tall and weighed in at 12g, using approx 6 metres of filament. Aborted attempts consumed 6gm (3 metres) and we had just less than 1metre, 2g, remaining.

All speeds set to 15mm/sec, retract 2mm, fill density 0.35, honeycomb. Cut using Slic3r. This stuff sticks to Kapton like glue, a heated bed is not necessary. Due to the Bowden extruder and the soft, flexible filament, ooze is unavoidable, but fairly easy to clean off. Prints came out great at 0.2. Slight stringing and blobbing; due to ooze. Colour and detail is good. Surprising how quickly you get through a 10M bundle...

Trick with Ninjaflex is to print your object slow (40mm/sec) and also disable retraction. This is due to filament kinking up when moving to fast or reversing.

Here are the printer settings for 3D printers that are compatible, though there are many other printers that will work with PET+. PET+ Best Practices and Tips There are a lot of different FFF style printers and settings out there, but there are some general practices we found that have worked best: # Extrusion temp 220-255C # If layers are not adhering to each other well, try extruding at a higher temperature # Clear PET+ has a higher melting point than the opaque’s. Try printing at a higher temperature # Adheres well to heated bed at 60C and for non-heated beds on blue painters tape. # You can also try printing on a glass build plate with a glue stick applied # For a more glossy/transparent look, try increasing your layer height to 0.2mm or higher Leapfrog Creatr Makerbot Replicator Extrusion Temperature: 250°C - 255°C Layer Height(s): 0.1 - 0.3mm Replicator 2 Extrusion Temperature: 250°C - 255°C Layer Height(s): 0.1 - 0.3mm Replicator 2X Extrusion Temperature: 250°C - 255°C Layer Height(s): 0.1 - 0.3mm MakerGear M2 Extrusion Temperature: 245°C for block style, 225°C for heater core style Extrusion Multiplier: 0.96 Layer Height(s): 0.15mm Extrusion Diameter: 0.35mm Fan: 100% on layer 2 Heated Bed: 60°C

However: - Some stringings at the teeth area, had to file them (and accidentally broke a tooth while doing so T_T) - Somewhere near the lower jaw, a few layers were skipped.. I probably printed it too fast. --> I need to be more patient XD No raft or support was used - amazing design!

Catastrophic Failures :(

Failed prints Before we start this section, we would like to bring to the discussion table, the question, how are we going to deal with the failed prints and the many metres of strands, rafts and sleeves that are being made to waste, whilst we are all enjoying this new technology, how should we tackle the waste that is created (perhaps when the new Filamaker is available, this may help to a degree). If you have any ideas of how we can get this topic going or you know of someone, a company or an organisation who is ready to take on this task. Then we would like you to submit your suggestion on the notes section of our Submission Page. For your information we have so far written to three local politicians, one industrial recycling company and not one of them showed any interest. Well, we think it is time they became interested!

In this exciting world of 3D Desktop printing we recognize not every single print is a success. We have been there when a print is at 90% and fails. Or when a project is left to print overnight only to wake up and choke on our cornflakes. We wanted to add a section that pointed out some of the failures and what could be done to avoid them in the future. There are many reasons why a project fails to print, many of them avoidable, which we are going to highlight in this section. In addition, maybe you have information that could be divulged to our readers to help them (and us) in the quest to achieve the perfect print. You can do this by uploading the information using our Submission Page and selecting the unsuccessful print option and input the reasons why it was not a success in the notes section at the bottom of the page. Well here goes, time to re-live some of those cornflake moments.

Pictures and settings: Julia Vase Kindly submitted by: Keith Dibling http://thingiverse.com/thing:28123 Using a: Wanahao Duplicator 4 Biomede Yellow 1.75mm Filament Extruder Type: Direct Drive Nozzle Size: 0.4 Settings: Cold Glass bed 50c Extruder temp: 200c Infill: 10% Layer height: 0.3mm Supports and Raft: No Time to print: 20 minutes Notes: My first attempt was with bed heated to 110 and nozzle at 230, this was too hot for filament The attempt pictured was printed with cold bed and glue stick, this seems to work very well as part stuck and no warping. Nozzle temp was 200 as if printing PLA. This seems to extrude well but I do not have any part cooling fans fitted as I mainly print ABS. I think with cooling fans this would have been a successful print.

Pictures and settings: Prusa i3 sign http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:127163

Kindly submitted by: Greg F Website: http://labby.co.uk Using a: Homemade Prusa i3 Geared Extruder Hot End Type: J-Head Nozzle Size: 0.5 Settings: Hot glass bed 87c, Bowden extruder temp 220c - with Kapton Tape Layer Height: .24mm Infill: 20% Travelling Speed: 30mm Print Speed: 30 mm/s Time to print: 44 minutes

Notes: As you can see the bottom left corner of this print has lifted from the bed resulting in a failed print.

As it is being printed in ABS this does not have to be catastrophic, you could break up the print and drop it in a bottle of pure acetone. Doing this with all your waste ABS filament will give you a liquid slurry that you can pour onto your bed to give an adhesive layer and prevent further lifting. I pour a little of the liquid directly onto the bed which I then wipe around the bed with a scrap of fabric. Once the acetone evaporates (it won't take long) you are ready to print. I hope this helps. Greg

Pictures and settings: Keyring - ABS 3mm Fluorescent Yellow Kindly submitted by: Greg F Website: http://labby.co.uk Using a: Homemade Prusa i3 Geared Extruder Hot End Type: J-Head Nozzle Size: 0.5 Settings: Hot glass bed 87c, Bowden extruder temp 220c with Kapton Tape Layer Height: .26mm Infill: 20% Travelling Speed: 20mm Print Speed: 30 mm/s Time to print: 4 secs

Notes: This should be a keyring designed by a member of my local makerspace. It catastrophically failed with something I have seen a few times. The problem is the bobbly bits on the surface instead of a successful print. The cause is due to the screws on the idler are not tight enough and the filament is not extruding properly. The fix is to slightly tighten the screws on the idler to allow better grip of the filament. View the successful print here.

Stratum VAse

Pictures and settings: Stratum Vase http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:104120 Kindly submitted by: BillyboyClyde Using a: Makerbot Replicator 2X with New Coloured Nylon filament Glass Cold Bed Nozzle Size: 0.4 Extrusion Temp 240 No supports or rafts Settings: Print Speed 90mm/sec Travelling speed: 150mm 0.2 Layer Height. Infill: 10% Time to print: 1 hour 50 minutes then failure Notes: 3 points to note, one is a fan at the base of the print may have helped avoid shrinkage on the first few layers, not a wise idea to keep pausing the print to change colours with Nylon as it strings a little, plus its flippin hot if you get it on your skin, duh! Lastly the print failed as i was using a bed of old Blue tape which wasnt really sticking to my platfom that well even at the start of the print, but because I did not have a cooling fan it pulled up even more until the extruder sat on the object 3/4 into the print. Althoughas you can see it is a new blue bed now! Colours do look vibrant though and the object is tough.

Cuddleing Owls Pictures and settings: Cuddleing Owls http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:50212 Kindly submitted by: Corey Website: Using a: Ultimaker 2 Glass Cold Bed 20c Nozzle Size: 0.4 Extrusion Temp 210 No supports or rafts Settings: Print Speed 40mm/sec Travelling speed: 150mm 0.3 Layer Height. Infill: 15% Time to print: 10 Minutes Notes: I did not have much luck getting Laywood to work on my Ultimaker 2 I started off using low temperature 210 degrees and a layer height of 0.2 but the nozzle got clogged after a couple of layers, I then increased the temperature to 215, 220, 225, 230 using 0.2 layer height and still got a clogged nozzle after a couple of layers. I then tried the same temperatures again using a 0.3 layer height and still got clogged nozzle maximum layers i got at 0.3 layers was about 8 before clogging..

Royal Crown http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:80709

Buddha http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:95428

This was rescaled down to 50% of the original. Unfortunately as the crown grew higher a couple of the spines kept getting slightly clipped as they grew taller, by the left nozzle, as they only had a 10% infill after 3 hours of printing one of the spines snapped off at the base. When i removed the print (before completion) another two spines split off quite easily. Next time i would have a greater infil and make 100% certain that the bed and nozzles are absolutelty levelled and aligned before attempting the print. What i did find was a very slight rub of acetone on the kapton bed meant no raft required and it stuck like glue.

VEND http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:45347

This is a much scaled down version of the VEND (75% reduced). The reason why this is a failure is becasue the internal clips and hinges within the coin mechanism are so small they cannot be fitted correctly, so although this looks pretty neat it is not actually functional from a coin/vend perspective, although it will still vend if you turn the handle.

This buddha print was doing well on my UP! until i realised that i had not made sure that i had enough time to continue the print and had to abort halfway through! Mouse Wedge - Home made http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:95428

I should have ran this through Netfabb first! It was created by adding a mouse to a wedge shape using Tinkercad and then just downloaded as an stl file. If I had ran it through Netfabb it would have higllighted a possible issue with the wedge shape. For when it was printing the raft did not run the whole length of the print as if it wasnt sitting on the platform completely.

Owl Pen holder http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:18218

I used the owl project and just tinkered with it to create a hole down the back for my pen. The Glow in the Dark Owl was going to be placed on the dashboard of my van, as i am always looking for pens in a hurry. The problem was that i should have used it without a raft as at the last stage it just slid off the bed, i will create it again without a raft and use a little ABS slurry this time.
