I expect that very often I will print some small items.
So it's worth getting to know the properties of the material and the capabilities of the printer itself.
Of course, we are talking about the M201 model.
Recently I have prepared a model of an element of a bookbinding knife, which often breaks down.
With a lot of curiosity I decided to check how such an object is going to be made in practice.
I could write a story about the creation of this object because it has its own history. But this is not the place for such stories.
The item was printed in two colors of the same material from one supplier (unless I don't know about something).
Printer parameters:
- head temperature (hot end) 250°C
- working table temperature (heat bed) 95°C
- Layer height 0.2mm
- 100% printer speed
- diameter of the nozzle gap 0,4mm
As a curiosity I would like to say that the cohesion of these two materials is weak.
When I plugged the blade into the slot, the blue part broke away from the rest.
Already somewhere in the forum I told you that despite the same type of material and identical supplier the filament will have different properties for each color.
That is exactly what I saw here.
The pictures show that the bolt was also designed. This is a metric M6 thread, so it's small enough.
I was very curious how its performance would come out in reality.
Well, there was ... that's what I can say about it.
I expect that if I used a nozzle with a smaller hole and used a layer of 0.1mm the thread would come out better.
