Having printed a few Prusa Mendel parts since modifying my x-axis, without changing any settings, I have now seen a very slight improvement in accuracy:
 |
| Left: Greg's Hinged Wade's Extruder Idler turned out the best I've printed yet, where the top-most section forming the hinge can sometimes be troublesome as it is such a small area, Right: Z-Motor Brackets have a slight blemish on the inner surface, but no layers going significantly out of line |
 |
| Top: Prusa X-Motor Bracket is as straight as ever on tall flat sides, not much more bumpy than the squashed layers of plastic inevitably produce, Left: Complex geometry on Greg's Hinged Extruder Body with overhangs turned out ok, Right: Extruder Driven Gear printed fine, as close to a perfect circle as I've had yet. |
No strings attached to any of the parts needing to be cleaned off, due to having already tuned the retraction settings to balance clean prints without jamming the extruder.
Still a way off the greatest example I've seen yet though:
 |
| Looks like the the left (tony buser's labour of love) uses a finer filament, probably 1.75mm feedstock. Story behind this here. |
