Only one thumb because the zoa isn't in the booth for the picture.

3D Batten in Neon Green! Wow this stuff GLOWS in the blue light from my tank.

My wife is teaching a tape weaving class at our homeschool co-op next semester and has 8 kids so far. 8 different color Battens and Heddles coming up! Ok, 6 more after the green.

Batten:

On to the Heddle!

Glad to see you got it tuned! I'm sure you have a list of "things to print" a mile long. LOL

I didn't even turn it on for a week or two. Still have a little minor tweaking I'm doing during the prints. Front right corner still isn't adhering completely but for these prints it's workable. Minor bumps higher a little at a time.

The ironing is an amazing thing.

A few minor flaws and slight lifting on the front right corner - need to raise that just a tad more it appears. Besides the little things, she's printing pretty decent with the PETG on the most recent prints I've done. Next: attempt multiple files at the same time. So far I've had failures each time I've tried printing more than 1 STL.

Was That the sunlu (or whatever brand) filament? Do you think it prints out ok? I'm shopping for more. I definitely prefer the petg so far. The pla isn't as nice finished as any petg stuff I've tried.

It is. We bought 8 of 9 colors. The black took a minute to dial in but finished really nice. The neon green printed good and is super bright for aquarium stuff. We've got a few more colors to try still but so far the black and green use the same settings.

One thing I'm finding is that the temps for my printer seem to prefer lower temperatures - I'm printing at 225 for PETG and 185 for PLA.

Also, ironing the top layer makes for a nice smooth flat surface.

Sunlu is pretty decent, I use a few of their colors. Creality does make up the bulk of my usage though.

I've tried cheap filaments and the quality isn't worth the savings, adhesion issues, finish, it's only a few dollars more for Sunlu or creality.

My Sunlu PLA printed better than my Creality PLA and the white was cleaner looking. Side by side, the spools looked similar but the finished project Creality was more yellow looking - almost like it burned?
