So I got the new hexagon nozzle and I decided to just go and print the gear heart that amcbride is working on and see what happens. I used the same settings as mentioned before except the nozzle temp was bumped up to 240°C from 230°C. Remember I’m using ABS so the fan is off for the whole print.
- This one sounds crazy, but I would increase your acceleration to about 1000
I have mine set to 1700 and will probably move it up to 2000 with the Hexagon nozzle on the carriage. If you are interested in setting the acceleration this high you should see this thread.
I have to say that I am extremely impressed with the performance of new nozzle. This is definitely a huge improvement and says volumes to the difference a nozzle can make. It also speaks for what kind of contender the TAZ 5 will be in 2015 3D printing reviews. I am impressed with how this company evolves their products, can’t wait to see whats next.
