Awesome! How long did it take to print?

[milstream]

This one is about 2" in dia and took 2.5 hrs using .2 layer height.
When I loaded the model it was very small so I scaled it up by 10 (Looking back it was probably designed in inches and I imported it as mm)
I will print it again larger with a .1 layer when I feel more comfortable leaving the printer unattended.


The stl file is available using the dropbox link at the bottom of this webpage

Hmmm looks like you "lost" resolution by scaling? What nozzle size? .04?

[milstream]

.4 nozzle

I know something needs tweaked. I printed this after changing my esteps to 194 in the firmware. My extruder was only consuming 85mm when asked for 100mm. I am thinking it may be too much now but I haven't figured out how to determine what is correct.

[bolsoncerrado]

leave it at 85mm again and retry?

[milstream]

Yes, I will do that
