Initial 3D Prints first 50 hours.

General

• my first roll (1kg) was consumed after 39 hours of printing.
• and i have to say you can really print a lot in 1kg.
• 3d printers print fast didn't know that. i mean i see it in videos but it is really fast but not all of them. it prints fast sideways but not upways or up and down for bed slinger.
• you can get the number of hours in printing in the machine itself and not on the mobile app or desktop software.
• not all maker labs are ready to print. most of them are. thinking i had a1 mini but not quite. for example i have this teloscopic hand, i ha to print it individual. and somewhat 25% slower than the original speed. otherwise it just falls off.
• not sure about other units but the timelapse sucks. it has to go the toolhead homebase every layer so it will take so much time than usual. also you will get stringyness. on your prints. and i'm still printing PLA not PETG.
• print in place and notihng to assembled. probably a marvel but i wouldn't expect it in every print. probably other to design
• printed a lens cap. it works. i like it although this makes me thing a better PETG material.
• opted for a white matte PLA. while this is my first 3d printed, i am not new to 3d printed items. i knew them to be so shiny and i'm happy to take the the white matte PLA. lines are barely visible but there is little to no shine at all. the trade off is ofcourse its brittle. but you can increase more walls for strength i guess.

-warping specially on the thin long. you it in this bookmark

doesn't have much shape retention the a4 holder. accepts 160 gsm but not 220 gsm

not printed in place. still need to assembel +++
