Large spiral vase
Posted: Thu Sep 17, 2015 11:48 am
This large vase printed in 34 hours 12 minutes with a layer height of 0.200mm.
I sliced it with Simplify3D and had no problems with printing other than a fair number of hairs. I used a hair dryer and a little sandpaper to get rid of these .
I have done a number of experiments involving retract length, retract speed, Z-lift, and varying temperature, and it seems that it is just not possible to eliminate hairs with a Bowden-tube style printer.
