Tips & Tricks
Print result isn’t smooth enough and every part doesn't fit properly
- Calibrate your printer properly
- Make sure you print it in right temperature (ex: for PLA material, we set the minimal filament temperature is +5 °C / 41°F)
- If you print it too fast, it may cause ghosting on surface of the object (we recommend the printing speed is 40 - 60 m/s and for the outer layer is 20 m/s)
- Decrease the layer height (0.15mm for small figure and 1 mm for the head/face)
Object won’t stick to the print bed
- Setup your bed leveling properly
- Use brim for small objects which have small contact to the bed
- Increase first layer extrusion to 125%-150%
- If you are using Bulidtak, sand the surface using sand paper
- Set the printing speed of the first layer to 20 m/s
How to fix loose ball joint?
- Use clear nail polish. Use it on both female and male ball joint section. Wait until it dry before put them back in place
- If the ball joint is loose right after printing, It may because of under extrusion. You can increase filament flow rate by 110% to 125%
Finishing touch
- Use cutter for peg adjustment
- Use super glue to assemble the part
- Spray the finishing object using clear coat to protect the object from the weather for long term use.
