Hi,
The best results I have had for printing PLA were under the following conditions:
Bed: cold glass plate (2mm 150x150 @ 0,54€), using UHU Stick glue to ensure first layer adherence (using brim in Cura)
Cold end: last iteration, screwed VERY tightly (the springs are nearly 100% compressed)
Hot end: standard Huxley 0,35mm hot end (1,75 mm PLA), but isolated (using some plumber flame protection and kapton tape), this made a HUGE difference as it allows for a lower temperature setting while enabling faster prints!
Cooler: standard fan mount.
Things to still work on:
- Perfect spool holder with minimal resistance
- Better cooling system, I am thinking of adapting an annular cooling system.
By the way: Emmanuel, do you know this part : [

I think it could be good to use to compare different designs (or even assemblies of the same design).
That's it for now,
Jérôme.
