Re: Life Expectancy and Depreciation
That is not really a function of parts breakage and clogs, which is why we started talking about parts and how to keep the printer working. It is really about standards for accounting and taxes combined with technology advances. I would say that after 3-5 years you would consider it fully depreciate...

Re: Life Expectancy and Depreciation
My mount just broke - only because I was printing PC and something got stuck and the entire bed got lifted up, cracking the mount. I replaced with Eric's mount that is much stronger:

Re: esun petg
I have one 11,000 rpm 40x40mm fan blowing right into the filament drive gear. And another right on my E3D head sink. And then I have the bed cooling fan pointing at the nozzle. All are the same fans that I got for about $1.20 each but are now about $12 each. Yes, this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thi...
Re: esun petg
With my 0.4mm nozzle I have never had a problem with 200% infill as far as I know. But if it is a threshold thing where it is effecting people, then sure - I could see lowering it. It is the first thing I will do if I ever have a problem with jams. I think my dual 11,000 rpm fans are why my system h...

Re: My M2 master profiles.
Printing at 200 does not strike me as especially low. Lots of people print at 185 or 190. If you read the comments on Thingiverse about the clock, lots of people have trouble printing it. Even the designer said that he had overheated parts and so created special files with dummy objects to cause del...

Re: Printing with eSun flexible
That is the problem with samples. You really need 1lb of something to be useful.
Re: esun petg
I don't think 250 vs 255 will make a difference.
Are you using 0.2mm layers with the same number of upper layer skipping?
