Sovol suggest printing with PETG the doors should be left open, apparently the heat soak with doors closed causes models to sag. And confirmed by several others with good experience. I am waiting for my Max to despatch (ex AU store), first printer owned, and trying to get all the prep done while wai…

My post won’t have anything to do with the MAX… You said this is your 1st printer…I wouldn’t change anything for 2-4 weeks. I think you need to get used to printing & the printer first. If you start adding & removing features right away & have issues, they will make it harder to figure out..was t…

Whilst I am a little at risk of ‘overthinking it’, I have built a lot of ‘stuff’ in my time and have no drama processing a predictable situation and dealing with it. In the engineering game, we call that planning… If there is shared experience out there that deals with the obvious situation (PETG sa…

Just logging the response the very kind and gentile GerGoPrint3D gave me at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfKujRUKnWg to the same basic q: Question: Do you know of a way to cool the enclosure without a lot of noise leakage so PETG could be printed in an occupied room (my home office)? There will …

The smell aspect does seem an important element. If the weather is ok, which it often is this time of year, I have great flow through ventilation. I have seen cartridge filter case fans on the elegoo orangestorm giga and was contemplating a similar style of solution: ELEGOO OrangeStorm Giga 3D prin…

I like the smell myself, to me it smells like Maple Syrup. I have a friend who can’t smell it. It was just something else to think about if you have it in the office with you.

I’ve done exactly what you propose and for pretty much the same reasons – the MAX already has a massive footprint. Opening the doors just makes it bigger. And closing the doors helps mute the sound of the steppers and extruder fan. Somewhat. Nothing will ever make this printer quiet but you’ll event…

do you calibrate dimensions by measuring both widths and lengths of your model’s beams and inserting values into the 2 equations(for length and width) system with 2 variables (xy shrinkage [%] and xy compensation [%])?

Wait for it to cool. Measure X. Measure Y. Hopefully they are identical, if not, average them. Divide by 3 (since they are 300mm long). Enter the value under the XY Shrinkage Compensation for the filament. Do the same with the Z axis (divide by 3 if you used the 300mm tall version, leave as is if yo…
