    Oiling my filament was the only thing that fixed both my printers the other week. I literally tried everything else. It took 8 days to finally fix them.
    I was desperate at 2am and ended up putting canola oil in the extruder as a last resort.
    Not only did it fix the printers (skipping/under-extrusion issues), it made them better than they came out of the box.
    I don't even use the sponge / oiler. I just put some on my fingers and run it up and down the filament feeding into the machines once or twice a day.
    Clear and pure peanut oil seems to work really well, and not discolour the prints if you happen to apply too much

    Whoa, taking shots at the A8. I like the A8. Its a great start and a good platform to build a really high quality DIY printer.

I would definitely recommend the A8 to anyone who likes to tinker and wants to get their feet wet while having a great learning experience.

    Much as I would like to get this printer, it seems at the moment Beeverycreative don't ship to Australia, and the 650 EUR unit price is only the first spear in the kangaroo. As others outside the EU have pointed out,

An MK3S with the multi filament system seems to work with multiple materials.

    Angus, which one do you like better, Creality or this? I currently have a prusa mk3 (S parts on the way) and I’d like a bigger print bed.

  • @Baiswith

    Angus - more information on the bed/mesh levelling system would've been nice :)

    • @tiagogala
      @tiagogala 5 років тому

      The levelling of the bed is done automatically via a microswitch + servo system. I haven't had any trouble with this and it has very good repeatability. According to the website (www.b2x300.com), the 15 probed points are internally interpolated to 45 points for mesh bed levelling.
      I guess a Pallette would work pretty much out of the box with this :)

    It would be great if you could focus more on using dual extrusion for support material. I use my 3D printers for functional prints and I've always wondered if I would benefit by using dissolvable supports. As it is now, I design my parts to avoid supports as much as possible.

    It's currently at 660 USD and for the size and parts it comes with I'm really thinking about it, BUT! it bothers me that i won't be able to print flexible filament. I get the idea of a bowden extruder but this machine seems to be built strong and stiff enough to have a direct drive extruder and two filaments heads will always cause issues sooner or later.
    I completely agree with the conclusion of the video. I much rather they offer a single extruder version with direct drive and an add on like Prusa has for multi filament.
    I think it has advantages over the i3 but then shoots itself in the foot.

  • @VectorRoll
    @VectorRoll 5 років тому

    I'd mount the extruders on each end of the x gantry. That should allow you to shorten the lengths of the Bowden Tubes. You might need to get a stronger set of motors for the Z Axis though if the ones on it are not up to par for the extra weight.

    • @geniumme2502
      @geniumme2502 5 років тому

      stronger motors alone dont compensate for more weight. the more weight you move the higher the inertia created creating either vibration or forcing you to use lower speed. The print quality we saw is the result of this if they can get it tuned just right... which im kinda skeptical about >.>

      fanboyism is such a pain to deal with... Yes the ender is good for less then 180€ at 230 it would only be okay and above 300 its just incredibly unreasonable. For someone looking at 700+ € machines the comparison is just absurd.
      Prusia mk3 vs this is a really interesting comparison. The CR10S pro in comparison would also be really interesting for me.

  • @jakubswiecinski5366
    @jakubswiecinski5366 5 років тому +1

    256 microsteps, and... that's not true, because either Prusa and B2X300 don't have it because of one reason - that would be impossible to run at acceptable print speeds with atmega2560 onboard. Prusas for example use 16 real microsteps, but they are interpolated to 256 microsteps to make stepper motors work less noisy, but firmware is not able to use those 256 microsteps

    • @tiagogala
      @tiagogala 5 років тому

      They use the same interpolation as the Prusa (16 interpolated to 256), besides being more silent, the movements are also smoother. Although it's using 16 micro steps nothing stops you from using 256 real microsteps (but you'll have to print slower).

  • @JonathanScruggs
    @JonathanScruggs 5 років тому

    Since this printer supports two filaments, do you think it would be fairly easy to modify the carriage to hold an E3D Cyclops+ hotend? That would mean one nozzle, so most of the dual filament issues mentioned wouldn't exist.

    In my experience, filament oiling is usually a band-aid to make up for slightly rough machining in the nozzle or heat break.

    • @ottersdangerden
      @ottersdangerden 5 років тому

      There is a local 3d printer filament company that suggested that for their filament. did not help. they couldnt understand switching to different brands of filament fixed the issues. The filiament printed fine for the first 100g or so then went to crap. direct drive and oilers did not help. They started blaming my machines saying none of their other customers have that issue. again, different filaments worked just fine. Even sent some off to a friend to try and he had the same issues. Pretty much my take on oilers at this point.

    Direct competitor with Prusa for $1000.00... I doubt that... The Prusa with the MMU2 costs just over $1100.00 shipped as a kit. And it is a direct extruder with the option of 5 filaments with little/no cross contamination and an extremely healthy support/upgrade base. The only thing I can see that this printer has over the Prusa is the bed size. Not a good enough selling point to offset the trouble setting up the dual bowden extrusion setup (having bowden tubes is probably the main reason for the x-contamination). First upgrade on this would need to be Capricorn bowden tubes (should be included as it is the only thing I can think of that might help with the cross contamination on this printer).

    Could you retract the inactive nozzle 5-10mm and tell me how you like the results? The goal is to get the filament out of the hot zone. Cura and other slicers should have a way to set it to do that just the same way a filament switching 2 in 1 adapter would be supported.

    I..... didn't actually know stepper drivers could do sensorless homing. That was one thing I didn't like about going from my MOD-t to the CR-10s. Those little contact switches seemed so janky and low-tech compared to the sensing the servo motors homed on the MOD-t. It works, but just a little scary and seems less accurate.
    Now I'm wondering if I could upgrade the CR-10s to use sensorless homing.
    Also... I really love the industrial look to this printer!
