Bridging with T-Glase

[BHudson @bhudson]

I am running a test/calibration print for a client from T-Glas and found that material makes a huge difference in bridging. A part that I expected to be full of spaghetti turned out to be usable, though not perfect. So I ran the Make test for bridging with the T-Glas material. The results are a world apart from ABS or PLA.

This was the fine profile with no tweaking at all. Same fine profile that results in spaghetti with ABS or PLA. My idea is that the T-Glas cools much faster than either of the other two materials and as such is much more forgiving with bridging, supporting itself as it cools behind the nozzle.

Hi BHudson,

great print!

BTW you should not use the flash on your camera for objects close to the camera. Instead switch flash off, use a small tripod and self timer…

@3dnerd Care to give me all that equipment? I have a phone with a camera on it. The pictures without the flash came out worse.
