* The [[HotBed]] can be heated to any temperature up to 70°C by default, and up to 110°C if reconfigured.
 
−
* The [[MK-1]] can be heated to 260°C (limited life); we recommend sustained use at 250°C or below. PLA, PET, ABS and Nylon work well at 225-230°C

=== Layer Height ===

We have successfully printed in ABS with a 25µm (.025mm) layer height, but this is very time consuming. 
 
−
* We often use a 300µm (.3mm) layer height with the .5mm nozzle on the MK-1 for 1.75mm filaments.
 
−
* We often use a 600 µm (.6mm) layer height with the 1mm nozzle on the EMO-25 for pasty extrudables.

−
=== Print Speed===
 
−
The best print speed manageable (without sacrificing quality) is variable, and depends not only on the material being used and layer height, but also on how much mass is being moved in the X and Y.  We normally print at 1.5m/min, or 25mm/sec with both the MK-1 and the EMO-25

Engines are 13” wide x 15” deep (plus 7” of rear space for spool rods), and are 21” tall plus heads, which can add another 10” to the height.

Technical Data

Adjustments

  • Speed of travel (at slicing or in g-code editor)
  • Layer thickness (at slicing)
  • Volume of flow per unit distance (at slicing or in g-code editor)
  • Extruder temperature (at slicing, in g-code editor, or manually during build) (MK-1, VOL-25)
  • Cooling Fan speed (at slicing, in g-code editor, or manually during build (MK-1, QS-1)
  • HotBed Temperature (at slicing, in g-code editor, or manually during build)

Or, is tabular better?

Adjustments
Metric Units During Slicing In G-Code Editor GUI During Build
Speed of Travel mm/min yes yes no
Layer Thickness mm yes no no
Flow Rate nL/sec yes yes yes
Extruder Temperature °C yes yes yes
Fan Speed  % of max yes yes yes
HotBed °C yes yes yes
