    @GAmbrosio, once dialed in on your slicer of choice settings, the crappy Robo filament can result in some nice prints. You will need to tweak a few settings all over again when you move to a better brand of filament.

    Waldo, I'm pretty satisfied with Batman. I'm going to try ABS, I got a roll of MG Chemicals ABS when I bought the machine and see if I can get ABS dialed in.

    Good luck with ABS, just keep in mind that good ABS printing is all about managing your print environment temperatures and heating/cooling. ABS is one of the hardest materials to print accurately, even companies like LEGO, who are masters of ABS, have to incorporate errors into their molds so that pieces come out dimensionally accurate.

    Good to know. Got it loaded. Printing at 220 and the bed at 80. Good start?

    Welcome aboard! Those are the temps I use when I use abs but that's not often :). Just wanted to pop in and say congrats on the new printer!
