I'm about to order some basic PLA filament, but I don't wanna order it on Robo website because of shipping price to Europe. So I'm looking on Amazon, and I just wanted to maybe have your expertise on some filament I found for less than 20 euros. What do you think about the following filaments for the C2 printer ?

Is this possible ?
I am printing using absolute (i think ?) position, i never home X or Y, i simply move the nozzle where i want it to start on the bed and hit print.
Of course i slice my model as close to X0 and Y0 as possible for that reason.
Why ?
Because i want to be able to...

While the quality when working is unbeatable, troubleshooting a DLP printer is ... the pits
(and resin is expensive to waste)

Just a small question out of curiosity here, not a big issue.
Has anyone a touchscreen that is connected via HDMI cable, like me ? I was sent a new screen (the old one didn't work) and I had to unscrew the fan inside the printer to access the HDMI connector on the Raspberry Pi. I also cannot put back the plastic cover at the front of the printer, because it wasn't designed for an HDMI screen. So my screen lies outside of the printer and the cables are all around.

I always used the slicer Cura and it does a good job. But sometimes the prints are not as good as they could be, and I feel like I could get better prints by tweaking some advanced settings in the slicer. For instance, I want to be able to control the exact path of the nozzle (especially for the 1st layer to look and stick better to bed), or move the bed down a bit...

Recently I have been trying to print miniatures on the C2 with very little success. I have been getting slightly better results as I have been slowly, monotonously changing settings to make sure I keep a close eye on what works and what doesn't.

Anyone else have any luck printing...

Are there any advantages on this?

My R1 was recently upgraded to an E3D V6.

Thank you.

By the way, if I decide to buy it, I can get the R2 for $1200 instead of the retail $1499, with the trade up.]]> 3 Tue, 20 Feb 2018 18:52:52 +0000 http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/recommend-a-used-c2.20508/ http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/recommend-a-used-c2.20508/ invalid@example.com (James Harry) James Harry 20 Sun, 14 Jan 2018 18:33:27 +0000 http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/hardened-steel-hot-ends-for-carbon-printing.20215/ http://community.robo3d.com/index.php?threads/hardened-steel-hot-ends-for-carbon-printing.20215/ invalid@example.com (Brett Forsyth) Brett Forsyth

I printed something the other day with a raft and the one side of the raft lifted up.


As a general rule of thumb...how often should I replace the build tape?
