@FrankNPrinter:

some slicers have a setting to make the tip go back over the part while doing a retract, this may help prevent the blobs if they are being caused by retracts.

In Slic3R it's called "Avoid crossing perimeters" and you are right to point out that it might help.

As David said. The other possibility, if you are printing on a glass clipped to the bed, is that the glass shifted when the nozzle hit the blob. I used to get that with my old Mendel.

I3 machine, I will try today. Thanks.

Maybe a non corexy with idex system. .4 for perimeters and .8 for infill.

I couldn't get PrintBite to works either but I did manage to remove it from the glass. What I did was to pry up a little corner with a small flat blade screwdriver then poor Acetone into the crack. The Acetone partially dissolved the adhesive. Then wait a few seconds, pry a bit more, and pour more Acetone into the crack and repeat the process. It's really messy and I used a lot of Acetone. In my case, I managed to salvage the glass but the PrintBite was also intact (before I though it in the bin).

Well… I had no luck calibrating the printer properly. That is, until during bed mesh generation the nozzle crashed into the bed and DWC said that the probe was not triggered during a probing move, which led to the realization that the wiring was loose and the probe would lose power randomly during movements. I fixed the wiring and ran a 6-factor auto-calibration and it appears I'm currently getting decent accuracy at least on the XY-plane.

@wannathermal:

I am using Slic3r right now.

Filament settings - Cooling.

Tick the box to enable auto cooling. Under "Fan settings" set the min and max fan speeds, the bridge fan speed and whether to disable the fans for the first "n" layers. Under "Cooling threshold" set the print time below which cooling is enabled, set the print time below which slow down of print speed will be applied and set the minimum print speed.

I concede that my conclusion may well have been harsh "in absence of any facts," as Ian so eloquently stated above, so apologies are in order and I am sorry for coming to any conclusion especially considering I have no clue as to the facts of the matter. Now, though, I noticed that the flex3drive creator is part of this discussion as he recently replied in here, so, in all fairness, maybe I can ask him directly what the deal is with this new device seemingly having very many aspects that appear to be scarily similar to the original flex3drive. The only thing that I do know, having taken basic law courses that touch upon NDA's and contacts,min general, that sharing all our any part of such an agreement is in breach of ethics, at the very least, and possibly breach of contract, at the upper limit.

So, Mutley, what sayeth you on the subject, as I, too, am curious about the product Nimble claims to have designed in their own, yet don't want to step on anyone's toes by purchasing a product that takes away royalties that belong to you, in some respect, if in fact that is the case…please chime in so there won't be any further need to speculate, but rather lay the facts out on the table, thus ending the guessing game.

Best regards to all and apologies if I offended anyone previously, I just for a moment empathize as I've been "screwed" over in the past and felt like I was having de ja vu upon reading the technical explanation of the "unenforceable" element of said contact.

Sincerely,

Jonathan

Yes to all! Thanks. And after tuning it is not an issue. Thanks
