Up! Printer at 245C, Results

A follow up to yesterday's post on Up! temperature adjustment.

After using the machine and printing a bunch of parts at a reduced temperature with MakerGear filament, here are my observations.

Up! Temperature Adjustment

It can be useful to change liquefier and platform temperatures to adapt to different materials. It should be noted that changing the liquefier temperature is not the only parameter change necessary to make a material suitable for use.

Will this allow you to use MakerGear filament perfectly? No. You'll still have problems trying to separate support and thick layer settings over support may "implode"  as the MG filament has a different die swell and other properties that make it sub OEM standard. Temperature changes can't save you...

Want to know how I changed temperatures and how you can too?

Keep on reading to find out how.

Retro Clock

I posted renderings of "3 Ugly Clocks" in the Up! Forum. This one got the most feedback, so I refined the CAD by breaking it up into parts, adding mechanical features and finalizing dimensions.
