Boaty Challenge

Great Boaty!

I'm no expert, but fwiw, VERY impressive results! Whatever makes up your latest iteration of feeding/melting/cooling- head design + motion tuning, seems to be working well. It handled those straight inch-long overhangs with little trouble!

I would have to agree. There is only so much you can do with bridges. There is no surface for the plastic to smash against so there will always be filament on the bottom that has a round profile. I am using 20% fan for bridges, this takes away some of that push force of the duct and allows the bridge to not droop, at least from air. There are some places where the fan speed is not enough at 20%, mainly where the bridging width continues for some width beyond x value. I can see the filament change shape near the end of some of the bridge runs. All these little tidbits of what we see improves the quality of our prints, if we choose to see and identify them. Yes, this is a useless model to print!... Or is it? :) I can promise these lessons go towards functional prints every time I think I figured it out! When will we design a vision system to detect issues in real time!

I’m only 15 K acceleration behind you! But then again, I am on less than half half the voltage and half as many motors as you and 5015 cooling fan😂 did you release your current fan duct yet?

[@MrRocksalt]

Today is not a day to cry! Get out there and harvest some volts and amps to put into the printer!

[@FrodeBergetonNilsen]

Not sure why you are printing this, as it hardly tells me anything about your printer

[@MrRocksalt]

Tough crowd!

[@FrodeBergetonNilsen]

@@MrRocksalt Not really. It is actually the other way around, as this "bench" is a protest against CC copyright, and really, copyright protection in general. Since I am a designer, it is actually me having a tough crowd, not the other way around.

It sounded like you wanted or expected different content in this video. Keep in mind that these videos are me blowing off steam. Toss something in from a bad day, hit print and watch it go. Fix what I can for the next one. I learn some tricks along the way and I try to reveal them. I care very little about the current benchy drama. It does not make money for anyone, the remixes of the benchy are ppl having fun.. no money involved... so that whole BS thing is just that, BS, IMO.

[@FrodeBergetonNilsen]

@ Sure. But sometimes that steam of yours gets a counter. Nothing more to it. Again, it is rather you that expected a different response.
