If you print the BIGFOOT head sample that came on the SD card with you M2, you'll see the Z knob make these back and forth motions when rapids occur. Retraction can also be configured to include a Z-lift, where the bed is lowered a tad (increasing Z, moving the nozzle away from the part) before the rapid to keep the nozzle from hitting portions of the print that may be "taller than they should be" during the fast X/Y movement. Retraction is a feature in which the filament is pulled back (negative extrusion) a little bit, again to relieve built-up pressure behind the nozzle, before a rapid. The idea is that pushing the filament into the hot end builds up pressure behind the nozzle, and coast lets that built-up pressure finish the threadline at the end of the extrusion move so that the rapid (non-extruding move) that follows will have less ooze and stringing. you wont stop ninjaflex from oozing during a jump so let them collect in an area then use some flush cutters to snip off the row of ooze from the model when done.Ĭould you explain this? What's coasting and what do you mean don't retract more than 1mm?Ĭoast is a feature in S3D (and maybe other slicers) where the extrusion of filament is stopped before the X/Y motion stops. i would also choose the start point closest to location. if you have an extra hot end i would definitely try to dedicate that to ninjaflex. you want the white and really slippery stuff. it will not slip through the clear stock makergear feed tube. the new stuff is smooth which is fine as well but you need to get a pure teflon feed tube. older stuff has a very fine and slight texture to the filament. there has been a change in the ninjaflex recently. print speeds you are seeing will vary from printer to printer and the hot end you are using. you can print on cold glass as long as its very clean but i put just a single mist coat of hairspray on the glass and from that point i can just print and print without ever retreating it.

What do I change and what to do I set what to what too.
#Simplify 3d forum windows
I am attaching some of the settings windows for my Simplify 3d if someone can point me in the right direction. When people on here are recommending 20mm/s (1150mm/min) I am seeing some people on here recommend 250c?!įor the print speed I am seeing a recommendation of: 30 mm/s The extruder temperature recommended by the ninjaflex website is: 210 - 225✬. I am seeing conflicting recommendations on this. I ordered a eSUN filament to use for cleaning. should I just dedicate that for Ninjaflex or is it not that big of a deal to clean it before different filaments? I am just nervous about ending up with a messy extruder that constantly clogs on me. ĭo most of you top mount your spool or is it ok on the side? I remember seeing a post a while ago that I cannot find about someone that 3d printed a longer arm for where it spools the filament, does that help? If so where can I find that stl file I've read a few of the forums but I am slightly unsure. I have a few questions before getting started with Ninjaflex.
