Been cranking hard printing on my two newest 2 filament printers. The Snapmaker J1 and the Cetus2. Best of both flavors, IDEX and single nozzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither, do I consider perfect a printer. Once I learned their individual weaknesses and work with their strengths, it has been all production and fun. Use them properly and 2 color FDM prints are very nice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

All my FDM prints are  0.2mm layers or less. Most at 0.15mm. Very nice surface quality. Best prints are 0.1mm but are so s-l-o-w. Most projects don\u2019t need this resolution.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also pay attention to extrusion width and flow to get the really good quality. Flow is probably the best but least understood variable. My secret: work to get the flow correct and most print problems go away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not a how-to post. Just a little show and tell. The green prints are PETG on the J1 IDEX. Transparent green and clear. Clear always looks like transparent white when multi layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also been using nylon and polycarbonate filaments on the J1. Those filaments are why I bought an enclosed printer. Very good results with those materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not my everyday go-to filament choice. My desire is to have a strong material I know how it works, that I can use for very durable-need projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always something new to design with materials that suit the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
