abs or pla what temp ?

[MrBen]

PLA 210c now that I have 3 fans cooling the PLA I have started printing at 220c

Lower body came out terrible, worst print to date, and up body went tits up on a great print (hotend lost its way) so reprinting both parts, battery lid, battery tray, arms etc all came out sweet.

[MrBen]

oh and I ordered a few sets of the recommend fixings so will send you a set if you need them

[MrBen]

[MrBen]

[mark1975]

this is smart im really liking this ben , what your cough cough future with it print for cash etc?

[MrBen]

yeah probably once I got to grips with it and ironed out the niggles, takes a while to print out the whole thing (like 8-10hours) so would never get rich printing stuff

[mark1975]
