Update: Printed parts for Voron

As you can see on a previous post on the spanish comments, there is a comment that said that the use of PLA for Voron´s printed parts is not recommended. And as I told to the user, here is my update on this post

So, do you recommend the use of PLA for printed parts?

If you are going to put the cabinet closed, my advice is NOT using PLA for printed parts, instead the use of Ingeo 870. The reason in that inside the cabinet with the heated bed on, and the nozzle at more than 200º C, the temperature is too high and PLA will melt.

If you have the cabinet open (like I do), I don´t recommend the use of PLA, but is less dramatic. In fact I currently have my parts printed on PLA. But I am goingo to order a new set of parts made of ABS.

What material do you recommend?

As the printer´s creators said, the best performance is reached by using ABS or ABS +, unless due to the hicg temperature inside the cabinet there are some problems too with the use of ABS.

Anet E10: The assembly

Finally Anet E10 has arrived!

The delivery date was the last planned day, 15 labour days from the purchase.

General assembly

The printer assembly is quite easy to do. It comes almost pre assembled but I had some problems because it was my first cartesian printer.

Twist of Z axis stepper motors plugs

As you can see on all the reviews, the connectors come looking inside the printer. To fix that, simply elevate the horizontal part of the frame and then unscrew a couple of screws, and then twist the motors in order to set the connectors outside.

Upper frame fitting

This part of the assembly took me some time, because is hard to understand some things of the cartesian printer when you are used to use a delta one. To make this step properly, simply move up Z axis enough to release the pression on the bottom part of the frame, in order to align the screws with the holes. Continue reading

Leon3D PLA Filament – Leroy Merlin´s filament test

After sseing this filament (Leon3D) in Leroy Merlin several times, I bought one kilo of PLA filament to test it.

Packing

The filament comes in a regular box with some windows to see its color.

It comes in a vaccum sealed bag with a packet of silical gel inside.

Rolling of Leon3D filament

As I am familiar with FFF World Optiroll rolling method, Leon3D rolling seems to be worse that Optirool one.

But until now, I have not any issues with the rolloing of the filament while I am printing.

You can see a photo of the coil here.

Improvements for Anet E-10 (Fan Shroud, Hotbed protector and more)

I have bought a new 3D printer, Anet E-10, and I will write a new post about it soon.

You can buy it here and with the dicount code ANET10 the price is very affordable.

The printer is new, so, why you put some improvements on it?

The printer is ok, but there are a hugh amount of users that already have ir, and they are designing a lot of improvements every day in order to improve the quality of printing.

Today I am going to show you one package of improvements, and in a few days I will show another one. Continue reading
