Getting better. Re-read a lot of John and Ralph's info , things like cooling effect with the fan on a UDS etc. BTW, auber thermocouple is the pit probe. P: 2.5 I: .0035 D: 6 Fan: Voltage, On above 15%, Min 10%, Max 50% updated those settings circa 13:20 and it flattened out nicely. Not sure...

Sorry for bumping an old thread, but just caught up on so many of them, this one seems the most recent and relevant. I printed an adapt-a-damper (great work btw) on a new UDS (old one finally rusted out, my bad) with the 1" NPT adapter. Trying out the P 3.5, I.0035, D6 now .. holds well but...

Thanks for the feedback! Knock on wood my prusa has been damn reliable for a while now.. really dialed in with PETG - but looking to start a new project while it's still frigid out.

Hey Bryan, I'm getting the itch to build another printer finally.. going to go with some coreXY variant. How has your C bot treated you thus far?

Nice paint job :) Good choice on black. My first UDS is powdercoated (friend had a business) in blue ... that cleanliness maybe lasted one smoke :D

Thanks for that, saw that you liked it on Thingiverse... and quickly followed suit :)

Perhaps for sure. Like any new brand/type of filament, I just had to tune for it. I had to (massively) increase the extrusion multiplier and slow down printing speed for it. I really don't care much about printing speed (for now) so not a huge deal. I do like the color of the translucent...

Cool. I've had no problems with the eSun at all. PETG is such a different beast, though. I've found that I don't need to smush the first layer on the glass like ABS. I spent a lot of time to keep PETG from blobbing on the hot end and stringing up, now with the silicone cover it doesn't happen...

Hey John, do you find yourself varying settings much between different PETG brands / colors / etc? I was over at Micro Center and picked up some of their PETG. Filament measured 1.72-1.73 (vs. esun 1.75 dead on). I'm testing out translucent blue right now, and I have to drastically slow down...

I also love PETG strength. I've printed some small funnels for a friend.. for the life of me I couldn't break it. It took a bit to dial-in, it's a different animal than ABS, but once I did that, love it. My Prusa i3 was doing great, had that sucker dialed in.... until the one print I just...

Those PETG prints look great, John. I haven't gone back to ABS yet since swapping in E3D V6 and getting PETG tuned in on my printer.. I had mine dialed in so well... I could start prints and walk away and get reliable stuff, every single time... of course the one time I started and walked...

X2. Use Lump in UDS. I've used both a rotodamper and microdamper on my UDS, posted the PID settings in those threads (sorry, not home, don't have them handy). Just don't get caught up on trying to maintain that perfect temperature line with a UDS -- even a nicely sealed one will have some...

Yes indeed. I switched my Prusa to an E3d V6 and then went on the mission to figure out PETG.. have been using it exclusively since, as I've been printing things that need the strength. Have not had the time to go back to ABS. Have printed a few microdrampers in PETG w/ no issue

Great cook with the first run of the microdamper on my UDS. Super happy with the results.. UDS not as controlled an environment as my kamado so I don't expect perfection. UDS, two racks, RO lump. Fat drips on the fire, always have had minor spikes, don't really care about that. This was a ~13...

Thanks. I actually got off my *** and got UDS converted to 1" (after a few powertools and cursing). Man is it much cleaner to install those things when the drum is new versus a few years old :) My UDS is double rack w/ a lid...
