Not for the PLA, but I may build a small plastic shield if I run abs and have a problem. I made a part 90 mm high out of pla and had no problems. Big parts may need it but you need to see if you have a problem first. Sometimes abs warps or separates if there is a draft. I don't think this printer would have that issue. A three sided shield out of cardboard would work if needed.
I have a version 1 and it works fine. Version 2 is nicer but basically the same.
1 kg rolls are good. Pla goes bad after a while. You need to keep it in a sealed plastic bag and away from humidity. Oherwise it gets brittle and very stiff. I also use the silica pouches that comes in packaging to keep stuff dry. The silica helps. I hope you get a printer. It will allow you to make a lot of fun parts for your robots and even new ones.
silica pouches 150 pieces 8.99 euro
this is funny i always trow them away.xD am waiting for an answer from ebay.whits version it will be. i cant see the tape in the pic.
Don't buy any . If you get some throw them in the bag. I will send a better picture later.
blue tape artikel ok i bouth a 3d printer woohoo.i found this interesting pic how to tape your blue tape on the printbed.
Great news. I think you will have fun with the printer. It will allow you to make your own parts.. ever another ez robot.
The tape works out well. I just go left to right and change only the pieces I need to. The tape works well for pla. On tall parts I sometimes pause the printer and add a piece of tape to the part to hold the part so it won't come loose from the print table. I look forward to seeing your new printer when it comes in.
hi ron
the tape works well for pla.is there another tape if i use abs ?do you know where the most head comes from the printer?
i also have the size of the printer,43.18 cm hight then i have 35.81 cm and 27.17 cm ,i do not know withs is weid or dept?
i need to find a place to instal the printer.
I never used it but you can buy Kapton tape. It is used for abs. See the recommendation given buy the printer company. My suggestion is to start with PLA. ABS is a bit harder to run. I added a piece of glass to my heat bed to run abs. Check for videos. I just put mine on a little table. The extruder gets hot. The heat bed also gets hot if you use abs. No real heat is given off by the printer. Just those areas.
the glas on your bed is same size 100 x 100 mm?
