| Re: 3d printer for rc parts
This weekend I got my all-metal hot end installed on my Monoprice printer. It was mostly a piece of cake, except that the directions stated to have the thermal barrier tube sticking up about 1.7mm. I did that, and found that the nozzle didn't sit far enough down, which allowed the bottom of my fan to contact the printing bed. After a little adjustment to move the tube down a bit further, all went well and I'm back to printing. Pretty soon I'll try my first PETG prints.

Patience and similar settings as you use on PLA, no prob. I run less fan, and more heat(30% fan 240/80) with my micro Swiss, consistent and no strings. Hang up and Drive | |

| Re: 3d printer for rc parts I'm not terribly happy with my PLA settings. I couldn't get it to stop stringing, even with massive retraction levels. I never figured it out, and just learned to accept that I'm going to get a string across the top of my finished print as the nozzle moves by.

Update on the Overture PETG. My printer had no issues printing Hatchbox PETG. It seems it struggles to get hot enough for the Overture. The extruder skips/clicks like it can't extrude easily enough and I'm maxed out on temperature. Never had this issue with Hatchbox. | |

What temps are you trying to print the PETG at? I know my printer can maintain 250C nozzle temps, but haven't attempted to go any higher yet. | |

Does your temp bounce? , have you used an in fate heat gun to check actual temp at nozzle? If bouncing use a PID tune for the print temp you want. If Hot end is too cool, cut your fan back in your slicer, or manually. I print most PLA at 220/215, fan at 100% except for first two layers. Hang up and Drive | |

| Re: 3d printer for rc parts Shit (oops, pardon my Swahili...lol). That's A LOT better than the "April" timeframe the website was indicating a few days ago. Gotta see how much my paycheck is tomorrow, and, after paying the rest of this month's, and the beginning of next month's, bills, if there's more than enough last over, it might be time to place me order. Thanks. ~ More peace, love, laughter & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |

You made the choice to buy the MK3 at the right time. They were able to work through the Mk3 shipping queue a bit faster than published since the Mini is still on shipping hold. The Mini is suppose to start shipping again next week when the updated displays with the new rotatory encoders arrive from the supplier. | |

My Prusa i3 was not delivered today. The DHL driver must have decided he didn't feel like working a full day. We got a couple of inches of snow on Sunday. The roads were clear Sunday night and today they were also clear and we didn't get a single drop of precipitation. But the driver claims he couldn't deliver them due to the weather. The "official" response on the tracking is: "The shipment is being held and not expected to be moved or delivered on time due to a Force Majeure event with Weather." LOL WUT? Clear roads must be a bitch to navigate for DHL. It seems more like they didn't want to deliver just because it's DHL. Typical from what I hear. They'll "try again" tomorrow. |

Unfortunately, yes...typical of DHL. Had a similar delivery problem work then a few weeks ago. The sad/funny thing in, I love in the SF Bay Area, where there was NO bad weather of any kind. ~ More peace, love, laughter & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |
