3D printer completed test print

After the problems that I came across during my initial test print it was back to the drawing board to correct everything.

The first issue that needed correcting was the positioning of the nozzle over the wiper. The was corrected by going back to the documentation that Orin had sent me on the Cubex duo.

Course 3.4 labeled setting up the print tip wiping system gave a good run down on the corrections necessary. I did not have to do the complete progression of steps. All that was needed in my case was to go to the off sets menu.

Then put in new off sets that would move the nozzle back far enough.

This alone corrected the nozzle smearing problem.

The second problem that I faced was the material not sticking to the table. To solve this issue I dropped the glue and put blue painters tape down instead. This actually worked and allowed easy removal of the printed part.

Here is a video of the printing of the test block.

This is what the final part looked like.

I have a list of projects for the 3D printer. Some of the solid models are completed and will be printer in the next few weeks, like the AR-16 pistol grip, and some are in the modelling phase and will be printed upon completion of the models, like your project John P.
