Component Fabrication Attempt #11



In an attempt to reduce me having to constantly change the file being printed I tried to combine four of the elements into one file and print it all at once.  The print settings were 0.4mm layers with a slightly reduced print speed at 80mm/s and a reduced travel speed to 90mm/s.  There were a number of errors in this print and quite a lot of wispy trails between the elements.  I decided after this to print individually and pay a lot more attention while printing each component.  The print time of 1h58m averaged out to about half an hour per element, which was pretty standard for each piece.  It did however take nearly 1/3 of the time to print the raft which seemed a bit of a waste as it would be torn off and thrown in the bin anyway.

VERDICT:  PARTIAL SUCCESS
