The software and hardware tuning of the printer seems to be entering its final stages. So it’s a good time to try printing some functional parts.
In addition to changes in the slicing math, I also tested a new mechanical solution to remove repetitive z-axis artifacts caused by the ball screw. I’m really happy to have finally found a robust solution that works without compromise.
All parts were printed from Nylon PA12 powder (mix ratio: 70% used 30% fresh) and only brushed. Print speeds ranged from 2.500 – 3.300 mm/s.
