My, my don't I feel silly. I've got a couple plates that are simply too thick. I was so happy that I got them I neglected to check which sickness they should have been. They turned out to be about 2 centimetres thick, and this would steal a total of 4 centimetres vertical print space. This is totally unacceptable. I will have to get a new lower plate cut from a finer plate, and I think I will splurge for a heated bed.
Here are some pictures of the plates as they are today:
A heated bed is a must, both for PLA and ABS, but i think it is most critical for PLA.
ReplyDeleteI thought most guys used aluminium or glass for those plates, or am i wrong ?
Good progress so far =)
