[SPYHUNTER705]

so i'm thinking on starting on the mask tomorrow but i have a question and i know this might be someplace else but WHAT PAINT DO I USE i mean really i been trying to find just one common type and there's nothing they say go with this or with that just give me a straight answer

I really suggest using duplicolor can paints if you're located in the US. there really is no definitive answer but I like flat universal black with a gunmetal and gloss clearcoat for esb and rotj builds

print failed filament won't come out

 

[SPYHUNTER705]

got it going again and if anyone is starting out be sure your filament is clean no dust took me an hour to clean it

 

[SPYHUNTER705]

IT'S JAMMED AGAIN

so i'm trying to clean the nozzle the cold pull works a bit but it's bad so i saw a video where if i let the nozzle sit in fingernail polish remover 100% acetone it might dissolve the blockage just enough to where i can remove it so fingers crossed

Is it a brass nozzle? New or used? I often have trouble with used brass nozzle.

is the stock one so i guess used

so left the nozzle in the acetone overnight that blockage is still there i might have to leave the nozzle in it for 2/3 days

so i left the nozzle in acetone for 2 days and i decided to take it out and put it back on the printer and i'm gonna start on the mask again tomorrow so fingers crossed

 

[SPYHUNTER705]

IT'S PRINTING put the nozzle back on last night and i started on the mask at 11:03 am and it's printing if it stays like that for 48 hours 'that's when it stops everytime' then the blockage is gone

 

[SPYHUNTER705]

26 hours in and it's still printing

 

[SPYHUNTER705]

it's doing it again i don't think it's the nozzle i'm betting it's the file i'm gonna reload it and try again

 

[SPYHUNTER705]

hey fett i saw where you were selling the masks already printed out if i can't get this to work i might get 1

 

[SPYHUNTER705]

so i took of the file on my sd card and i updated it took 40 minutes just to slice it thanks cura and it's printing again so fingers crossed again
