And on it goes with the tests.

First, the result with the purchased software

Here are the pressures.

The result is first times sobering , but I also had no miracles expected , since I do not yet know the program and also not made any , necessary for the printer adjustments have . In each case, the surface is significantly worse and what you can not see on the picture is too small a flow ( material feed) which too little PLA comes on to the part which can be seen especially in the non-closed ring ..

Image

In such settings, but one has to grope and can not expect miracles.
Then I once removed the support of both parties and this result is not yet satisfactory, although this was relatively easy to remove.

So I created the G- code again revised the purchase program . A little more flow, a higher printing speed which the printing time shortened by 3 hours and a finer support.

That was this morning the result.

Image

The surfaces are now closed , although still seems a bit too little flow to be there and it is relatively smooth. All the beads on the surface could almost turn away so what does not hurt .

Here also the three parts to compare side by side.

So slowly I approach a useful result .
