Those are some great looking prints. Are you doing anything to finish them?

I am using the Makergear white, transluscent blue, and black filament. I am trying the natural color today and have blue and red on order. All prints are done at a medium (.20mmm layer height) using an M2 with Simplify3d. There is no finish applied, except for some knife trimming and maybe hitting it with a little fine sandpaper.jsc wrote:Great prints. What are you using for the white and shiny prints (bust, vase, whale, octopus).
Wow, for future reference:willnewton wrote:7. Next, heat the nozzle with the lighter and use the drill/pin to push the filament out of the rear of the nozzle.
This feeling of success was short-lived because everything started going wrongerer. My prints did not look so hot, they looked bad, really bad. I compared them to my first prints and it took just a few seconds to realize......I had messed up.I had to immediately dial back the software to compensate for the increased flow and the M2 is back to printing like a champ.
But now I have experience!Tim wrote:Except this time you're back to where you started two weeks ago. . .
