Multicomp Filament Profile?

[Martin @mprowe Somerset]

Hi,

Can anyone advice on how to program a SmartReel to reflect that Multicomp Filament is being used?

For example, the Smartreel programming page invites five (5) temperature setting and three filament parameters to be supplied.

Unfortunately the Multicomp (Farnell Order Code 284-5510) datasheet is somewhat sparse: only providing two temperature values (in fact ranges)

Regards, Martin

To write to a reel and to create custom profiles you will need to be in Advanced Mode

(cog in top right) Preferences>Advanced

Then click on the library and choose a similar profile. The TitanX profile is probably fine as a starter. Click “Save As” and enter a new name and colour.

Typically the first layer bed and nozzle temp is a little higher than the printing temperature to help with first layer bonding. Print small quick things and make other adjustments.

To save this in your profiles for use without a smartreel you can just save it using the buttons and then select it from the dropdown when the printer indicates “Unknown” as the loaded filament. If you want to save the profile to a smartreel and overwrite what was previously saved you can click one of the Write to Reel buttons depending on which reel position you have it loaded to.

Hi Pete,

Thank you for your comments. I have been able to figure out HOW to make the necessary changes. What I would like to know what are the values to use? For example what can I pull from the Multicomp datasheet to populate the eight fields in the SmartReel profile?

The only one that I think I understand is “Filament Dia”?

Regards, Martin

@mprowe those values should be ok at least to get a print result. The other numbers on the data sheet are not really useful.

The range is so wide that I doubt they tested it themselves. I typically start with 230°C nozzle temp when i first start testing with ABS.

Cheap filament, particularly the types that shrink like ABS, will be harder to work with than filament which has been extensively tested. Eg TitanX
