Largest print on my Folger yet
Posted: October 19th, 2018, 8:51 am
Hi All
This might not look exciting, but for me it's a milestone.
I have had the Folger FT5 for just over a year now and have been doing bigger and bigger prints, also different materials.
This print is 250mm x 205mm x 80mm material PLA.
Designed by myself for a friend's project.
I played around with the print speed so it would be printed in a day.
Settings:
Table: 60°C
Nozzle: 200°C
layer height: 0.3
Print speed 75 mm/sec
Skirt.
No supports (there are only small holes in it)
Cura time: 13hr 54mins
Actual time 14hr 42mins.
The only problem I had was the roll of filament started to unwind around the pivot bar holding the reel. I had to keep unravelling it. This is the first time this has happened and I blame the material.
Very happy with the print.
