Re: Iron Man MK XLV 3D Print - Shoulder and handpalm p7
As creative stress mentioned. There are lots of print lines and since I did not raise the polycount in the models, the rounded shapes are not entirely smooth.
Xtc finisher is way too expensive for this kind of built. It also leaves a gloss finish, so you still have to sand it.

I usually put xtc on the inside for rigidity and then sand the outside. It works out great because I dropped a few buckets after I've done that and had nothing happen to them thankfully.

Resin on the inside could be a good alternative too I guess. Maybe in combination with fiberglass. I read that resin heats up during the curing process. Does this cause the PLA to melt? Or is that temperature minimal? I have no idea

xtc is a type of resin that doesn't heat up hardly at all. I've used it on a lot of prints and really have never had any problems with it.

I would hope so since it's specially made for that application
It is more expensive than resin however. So maybe I'll use a failed print to test the resin first.

Hi guys, it's interesting thread, i'm also buying duplicator i3 soon and this build was very helpfull, thanks. Right now i'm finishing my last pepakura project
no fiberglass or bondo was used just smoothcast 300. So i was thinking maybe make a slushcast inside the printed part helps make it stronger.. i will defenetly try this out.

ive never had any probems with warping while using resin n cloth over all the mk 45 i did ....it gets warm but doesnt melt the plastic. I have resined n cloth the boots today to see how they will hold up so far so good only one coat of resin i will give it another coat tomorowI would hope so since it's specially made for that application

Check out the Monoprice Maker Select instead

A thin guitar string works good, or some wire. I also wear a thin mechanics glove underneath

Did anyone use something to connect the fingers together or only used a glove for that?
They fit well and I still have all my movement

Isnt it just a clone of wanhao like cocoon create? Also i dont have it available in russia)))
for fingers i used regular thin rubber from sewing store like that [video]https://www.instagram.com/p/BE2y5yTlLnx/[/video]

Re: Iron Man MK XLV 3D Print - Shoulder and handpalm p7
Thanks I'll check that out.
Anybody got any idea how this could happen?
Ever since I started printing the chest, the walls became thinner and it seems like the extruder doesn't provide enough flow or skips a layer now and then.
Didn't have this issue with previous prints and I didn't change the settings of Cura. The bed is also still leveled.

Maybe new filament is different? check it's diameter, i suppose if it's lower then you get under-extrusion
also check this page, very helpfull for troubleshooting https://www.simplify3d.com/support/print-quality-troubleshooting/

Re: Iron Man MK XLV 3D Print - Shoulder and handpalm p7
Ive been 3D printing for a while now using a CTC Dual (makerbot clone) and i had the exact same problem with PLA.
You may have a clog in your extruder, or else you may need to adjust the temperature up if the filament is lower quality,
Personally speaking, once i switched over to ABS i've barely had any issues.

Re: Iron Man MK XLV 3D Print - Shoulder and handpalm p7
I was having that issue too a few months ago but figured out that the bed wasnt level and also that I had a partially clogged nozzle. Mainly however it was that the bed wasn't totally level. After I got it perfectly level I've never had that issue. I've got both a FF Dreamer and a FF Creator Pro.

Not sure if you had seen this trouble shooting guide for simplify3D. If your not using simplify, the principles still apply to most 3D printers. Its definitely helped me out quite a bit.

Re: Iron Man MK XLV 3D Print - Shoulder and handpalm p7
I'm pretty sure this will be a clogged extruder then. I recalibrated the bed several times to make absolutely shure it is not the levelling.
I have a few issues that occured after a while that are listed here and the cause that occurs in each issue is the clogged extruder. So I'll be taking that apart this evening. Let's hope this solve the entire issue.
What's the best way to "unclogg" the extruder? I see one where you have to submerge the tip in acetone for 24hours twice. But that seems a bit over the top?

If your printing in PLA then no point using acetone as it's for abs.
YouTube clearing a clog with PLA and a blow torch!
Another thing, order extra nozzles and PTFE tubing (if that's what it uses). They're not expensive and handy to have.

I don't have a blowtorch, but a heatgun that can reach over 300°c.
I'm thinking of buying extra nozzles. Does come in handy now that I have this issue.

Re: Iron Man MK XLV 3D Print - Shoulder and handpalm p7
That might do the trick. I used a pair of long needle nose pliers to hold the nozzle, blasted it with a blow torch until it was exceptionally hot then used a sewing needle to push out the clogged PLA.
