Bronzefill issues
I have had some trouble printing with bronzefill and have had a few successful fixes but not complete. Specifically I am trying to print a bronze plaque. I finally figured i was printing too cold and now am printing at 240 degrees which has helped the material flowing. However, I am experiencing blockages in the nozzle and clumps. I finally realized that the retraction was crimping the filament where it was printing small vertical walls and retracting so much it just flattened the filament and it quit spooling through. I'm trying it with no retraction.
I have also tried to slow the print down on the small moves. However I am trying to print nearly a solid plaque. I tried at 100% and am now down to 70%.
My move speed is about 20mm/s for small moves and 30 for infill.
Any ideas on using this material for settings in fine detail?
This is an attempt that clogged and I tried to restart but it had run above the print too much.
This is one I printed at 20% but it's too flimsy for permanent use.
Thanks for any ideas,
Jason

Don't know if you looked at my thread when I was having similar issues: http://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk2-multimaterial-f26/copper-bronze-brassfill-on-the-mmu-t5617.html
Problems resolved by printing on my other printer...

Re: Bronzefill issues
Thanks peter I did read that thread. Did the heat break work or just the other printer? I suspect that since my part has the lettering and very small walls and voids to fill that all the retracting and small maneuvers make it clog. I have had success with smaller solid parts. I am close to needing another spool and perhaps a new nozzle. Actually looking at that Ruby nozzle.
Re: Bronzefill issues
I installed the hardened steel nozzle on the printer that didn't work; still haven't found out why it was not working. The other printer works perfectly.
My assumption was that there is definitely a hardware difference between teh two printers, but I have no idea what that difference is. Sorry...
