Half term is coming up so I will try and extrude some solder as it well within the range of the nozzle.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06649810214949481006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757352988048031523.post-47920160713214831472009-03-30T14:56:00.000-07:002009-03-30T14:56:00.000-07:001.

It took about 7 hours and has some cracks due to warping. I haven't seen anybody make anything bigger. Even with ABS warping starts to become an issue with large objects. PLA and PCL warp less than ABS.<BR/><BR/>2. Tin/lead solder is 183C and lead free about 230 IIRC.<BR/><BR/>3. Darwin does not use acceleration. The pull in rate of the steppers is less than the extrusion rate so it can start instantly.nopheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12801535866788103677noreply@blogger.com
