Benjamin, great that you tried, and I’m happy that it is a good stress test.

31/10/2014 at 9:39 am #8677Did the sundial stress test as requested by @pelgrim;
Printed at 70 micron 1:1 is just too small, If I check out the gcode you can’t make out what the numbers are supposed to be, in the final print there is nothing left. The print did finish in 3 minutes though
Tried it at 200% as well but canceled it; it seems I’m either over extruding at lower micron or I’m scraping over the previous layer too much os I might need to alter my nozzle height a bit.Here the small 1:1 test, next to a AA battery for reference.
I want to print at higher resolution as well so I might tweak my calibrations and settings a bit with this test until it’s better, I’ll post a picture if I get a reasonable result!
31/10/2014 at 9:46 am #8678thanx for trying, that was fast !
I had the complete build area in mind when I created this, like Benjamin has tried and posted his result.java (EE), JavaFX, HTML, GIS) programmer, database wizard, framework inventor, looking for a job ! http://roboxing.com/wizards31/10/2014 at 10:34 am #8686I’ve got same result as @dave at fine settings. Just didn’t get time to post the pic…
31/10/2014 at 10:55 am #8691Eh, complete build area? The photo’s Benjamin posted seem like just the 100% and 200% of the original looking at the quality compared to mine, just a little bit more of a close-up looking at the grooves in the table, or am I wrong? If the big print really is the full build area that seems to be pretty poor quality

I’ve tested multiple settings now, the prints are getting better decreasing the filament multiplier from 0.95 to 0.60 (tried 0.8 and 0.7 as well but all over extruding, even 0.60 is a bit too much). It seems that the next best layer after the infill is always over-extruding making a mess for the layers to follow, so I’ll try one later with 0.60 multiplier and 100% infill next to see if that helps. Here’s one with 4 solid layers at top and bottom, 25% infill (honeycomb), 0.60 filament multiplier, 0.70 layer height and all nozzles set to extrude 0.2mm, extra fan blowing in front of the open-lid robox for better PLA results (black Colorfabb PLA).
As you can see even with my big ass fan in front of the Robox it still can’t finish the top layers decently because they won’t solidify in time for the next layer. Don’t mind the bended bottom plate, took it off the heated plate to fast

thanx a lot for trying that out, since you seem to have some of the best results with your robox, you can set the standard for us.java (EE), JavaFX, HTML, GIS) programmer, database wizard, framework inventor, looking for a job ! http://roboxing.com/wizards -
