Someone test a multicolor print with a prime tower and one without
I plan on setting up a test, but I’m waiting for a replacement filament buffer to come in… Mine has issues.
I have a pretty good idea on what kind of test geometry to use for it. … Hopefully it will arrive in a few days
I already did a test like that in the build plate thread with 1/12 scale gas nozzles. They failed twice on the Frostbite plate with a prime tower. Then I did it without a prime tower and it was successfully lol
how did it fail though?
Here is the test model I’m going to run,… and I’ll alternate the layer colors so it will test whats the minimum layer surface area you need, before you get bad print quality
I already did, over have my 800+ published models do.
I provided two examples here, replete with photos and profiles.
Hey that is a good idea I like the model! On my print one of the gas nozzles just lost adhesion on the new Frostbite plate after 2 tries. It never failed before on the oem pei or supertac plate. Third try on the Frostbite plate and it succeeded when I took away the prime tower. It was while the printer went to print on the overhang that a gas nozzle fell. I think in this case it was a specific print issue because it printed the nozzle last up in the air and the prime tower was just causing the print head to move further away then come back to printing the 5 nozzles.
