What is the purpose for this challenge, you may ask?
When you make changes to your printer, it is always best to run a print that you are having issues with. I created this test based off of that principle. The gcode was designed for the Ender 3 & Ender 5 (with or without BLTouch) using PLA filament.
Please post up your before and after pictures. I plan to have a special promotion later on for people who post up results here. Anyone that posted up results will get emailed a promotional discount on future or existing products. I have not worked out the details in full yet on the actual amount, as this venture is just getting started. I have a few ideas for what I would like to do, but need to wait and see just how far I can go with this discount. Please follow the instructions below.
If you have any issues feel free to contact me.
The zip file provided here, has everything you will need. The G-code file is setup and tested for Ender 3,5 & Anet A8 printers for PLA filament at 200c bed 60c. 3D Print Lube has been tested on stock and modified machines. Works with PTFE, All Metal Hot Ends, Bowden style, and direct drives.
The G-code should work with other printers. I have provided the STL files. Allowing you to slice the model on your favorite slicer. I have provided the G-code because the settings are correct for this difficult test to work. If the print results show a lot of stringing you can use 3D Print Lube to improve results!
My wife and I thank you for your support.
After the first print, install the oil filter on the printer, and prime the sponge with 3D Print Lube oil. (about 6-8 drops) Print the 3D Print Lube oil treatment cube G-code to prime the printer with lubrication. (Print anything you want that takes at least 15 minutes.)
If print results have improved, but still show room for improvement, you may still need more time to lubricate the printer properly. Apply a couple more drops and print again.
The 3D model provided in the zip is the cropped off top of the kickstarter-autodesk-3D model. As the whole point of the test is stringing, and not the other tests provided. It has been cropped to save print time.
