Reply To: What did you do Today 2018

Here's my print of Andrew's Burrell nameplate.

Two faults – first I forgot to recoat the bed with PVA so there's slight curl you can see at the front edge – my error.

Second, the descenders on the T and D in Ltd haven't printed. I did have print thin walls ticked so walls thinner than the 0.4mm nozzle diameter should have printed, but I think that with the very fine 0.06mm ~2 thou layer height this was expecting too much.

I could use a 0.2mm nozzle but then it would become a ~20 hour print instead of a five hour one…

If doing again I would speed up with thicker layers as there is very little vertical detail and use thinner walls, I had it on a robust setting better suited to 0.2mm layers.
