The best results so far have been with PETG & PCTG. A 1.5MM nozzle was used but the print quality was unacceptable. The larger the layer height the clearer it gets but it loses layer adhesion once the layers are too thick. My standard 0.4 MM nozzle prints with...

I used my own files to 3d print a map of Midtown New York City. The buildings in these files are quite detailed and are not simply plain cubes. Actually, almost all of the nuances are visible. I hope, you guys like it.

I typically say no to these requests but this one had me intrigued so I said yes! This machine checked all the boxes for me :
1. Large format (300x300x400 build area) The bed is slightly over sized so it is a fully use able area.
2. Volcano hotend- it appears to not be a genuine but seems to work quite well. it comes with a .4 nozzle. this works quite well but I...

The computer is used to calculate and schedule all the movement, whereas the micro-controller simply executes the work at the appropriate time. It can even handle multiple micro-controllers and keep them in sync, in case e.g. you want one controller per axis!...
