Hi there,
I am rather new to the topic and to the forum. I beg your pardon for all naïve or wrong things I might say.
My lab has a Cubex Duo and since the original software from 3D system is far from perfect, I recently tried out and purchased the kisslicer with CubeItMod6.05.
I am using setting from a website that is cubexupgrade or something similar and I am printing mainly with 3D system ABS for main part and, when necessary, PLA for support and raft.
My first impression was that with kisslicer the prints are immediately better. I solved right away the adhesion problem. Now I have somehow the opposite, it is difficult to detach the part from the base. It depends a lot on the hardware Z Gap that I have to set before every print, at least twice.
Still I find some things I'd like to improve. Here is a bit of a list with pictures:
- If I do not have a skirt for the first layer the ABS comes out spotty from the extruder:
- Spotty first layer
- Sometimes the print seems to be delaminating or the ABS fails to stick to itself properly:
- Some failure to stick to itself in the dead center of the photo
Settings for ABS are:
[ABS Cubex Thickness 0.1]
