Hey, thats very cool !  I have some PETG, but havent tried it yet. Im sure I will try it when the new printer arrives soon.

Thanks Nomad,

RoboHappy:

Did you see my figures above for PETG?

We search the net, got results

Here they are:

I using PETG filament

using the Ultimaker Cura 4.8 for settings, slicing etc...

we figured our for our 3d printer: I am using the Creality - Cr 10S pro v2 printer

"glass" bed = 90 nozzle = 237 - 240 speed = 20 to 60 max fan off Z = -2.29

no magigoo printing at a slower speed is so much better

make surer you tighten the printer head (nozzle) so there is no play - tighten everything :-)

Also watch the filament roll from not getting tangled

See the servo holder how nice they can out?

"make surer you tighten the printer head (nozzle) so there is no play - tighten everything "  (when the temp is reached , then tighten the nozzle ).

other figures?

Nomad "make surer you tighten the printer head (nozzle) so there is no play - tighten everything "  before you start

We learned printing slower give a better print-

the Ultimaker Cura 4.8 we set retraction to 7, put our printer in there, add PETG

leveled the bed, them mapped the whole bed with our software, it tell us the highs and lows of the bed ( we use a glass bed) at 87 heated no maggigoo is needed

Make sure your bed is clean, I used warm water, a little soap, dried, then isotopic alcohol - I have a creality glass bed

Fun fun fun...I was just watching Mr. Metal too...I never thought to try bots with skin.

I see we shop in a lot of the same places...EZ Robot, Actobotics, ServoCity I am guessing.

Nice job.  You are cookin' up some great stuff.  Are you sure you've only been doing this for 2 years?

What kind of bot are you thinking of designing/printing?

I will mention this here because I think it saved me a lot of time...

For a large bot, consider using a combination Actobotics metal and 3D printed plastic parts that screw to it.  Trying to do a large bot all in plastic can have many additional planning challenges (notches, screws, etc.) to attach multiple parts together, unless you have a huge printer.   Using the metal also lets you reconfigure and change the dimensions early on when you might still need to make large design changes.  Later you might be able to replace some of the metal with plastic if that is desirable to save weight or looks...or not.

Thanks Martin,

Yes, I am two years old in this robot venture, like I said  - I am a quick learner  :-)

My robot with the latex skin is Roman.

How is your new code coming?  What are you working on ?
