Before loading the filament, empty hotend of any plastic by doing a “cold pull“: insert PLA, set temperature to 85C, fully open the extruder idler, dis-assemble the filament sensor cover and pull the filament out rapidly. Leave the extruder idler screws really loose and keep the filament on the spool very loose as well. Use glue stick on the bed as a separator.
We used our Original Prusa i3 MK3 with Firmware: 3.1.1 -RC5-150.
We used PrusaControl 0.9.4 415 beta with the following settings:
Material: Prusa PLA: Quality: Optimal 0.15mm / Infill: Standard 20% fill ~ print time: 56min. / filament length: 2.4m
Prusa ABS: Optimal 0.15mm / Standard 20% fill ~ 28min. / 2.4m
Prusa PET: Optimal 0.15mm / Standard 20% fill ~ 57min. / 2.4m
ColorFabb Woodfill : Optimal 0.15mm / Standard 20% fill ~ 1h 14min. / 2.5m
Flex Shore A85-A98 : Fast – 0.2mm / Standard 20% fill ~ 1h 28min. / 2.9m
We used our setup of OctoPrint 1.3.6 on OctoPi 0.14.0 to control the printing process.
All prints are done in our enclosure.
