    I have a RoboxDual
    Margaret River, WA, Australia

    I’ve had my Robox for two weeks, and have started to print some items that I’ve printed successfully on other printers beforehand.

    One thing I’ve noticed is that the layer fan cooling seems quite a bit weaker than my other printers. When I print at the speeds that I usually print at on my other printer (60 mm/s, ABS), the ABS curls up on small corners, even with the fan speed at 80%. On my other printer, I set the separate layer fan to 10% and it works well at these speeds.

    I get the fact that the Robox only has one fan, which does heatsink cooling as well as layer fan cooling, and the air stream isn’t very ducted, but even so…

    Has anyone else noticed this?

    It is possible that the fan is the cause of this, it is easy to prove by pointing another fan at it.

     

    I expect it is simply residue on the bed, give it a good clean with IPA and see if the same happens. Also the shrinkage on the original ABS is far more than new TechABS and TitanX.
