    Print Issue - not smooth

    Ok slow down the speed and smaller layer height. It was a 13 hour print, I guess the printer needs to go for a 24 hour print soon. Thanks for the input.

    Print Issue - not smooth

    Yes, I'm using Simplify3D. The support material setting is attached. Please advise. The default printing speed is 3600mm/min, which I think it's already slow. Yes, the new print doesn't stick to the old printing. How about the support material inside it? Does the support material pulling in...

    First layer issues on large print

    Since day one I got my gmax, I have been printing model with large surface area and large models. I have been dealing with a lot of problems such as what you described in the first post. Bed. It's not flat at all. I had to shim a paper (folded 4 times) on one side near the screw, under the bed...

    Print Head came loose

    This is something that needs to be addressed in the user guide. The first time I put in the filament, I noticed this and right away try to support with 2 fingers on from the bottom part. I agree, pushing it only from the top, will do all kind of damages. I found two small nuts laying on the side...

    Room temp effect?

    Great information, thank you. For printing ABS with gcreate, would you recommend a temperature higher than 72F? And for printing PLA, would you recommend a temperature lower than 72F? Yes, my room is temperature controlled and I let it slide 2F everyday. I don't think 2F is that much of a...

    Gmax resolution

    Thanks. Highest res is 0.08mm and lowest is 0.4mm. Noted. I am fully aware of the printing time, however the engineering needs dictate what is required to do. It looks like a bigger model can accept 0.16mm-0.24mm, so it does help with the printing time. Thanks for the reminder. Hadi

    gCreate Filament Database

    Anyone tried MeltInk3D PLA/PHA? I have been using this for printing 2 models and it is not as good as PLA/PHA by Colorfabb, but for the price and USA availability, it's not bad at all. Printing is recommended by manufacture at 220-230C. Thank you, Hadi
