R3 Fan Shroud performance compared to stock (early test)
Hello everyone,
few days ago I printed a boat propeller model on 2 printers simultaneourly.
The first one was a i3 MK3 with a Tianse filament.
The second was a i3 MK3s with a Prusament filament.
The gcode was the same (but I manually lowered the extuder temp to 210 after the first layer for the Tianse filament) for both prints.
It was a standard 0.2 Fast profile in Slic3r PE but with layer height raised to 0.3.
This is a (bad) picture of the result. Green = Tianse, Red = Prusament.
As I hope you can see, the red one has a poor overhang on one propeller blade compared to the other blades (the green is same quality overall for every blade). Unfortunately I don't know whether direction that blade was pointing because I realized it only after I removed the pieces from the build plate.
Our MK3 has a stock fan shroud, while the MK3s (that's just arrived) has the new version.
I pirnted this model other times before with the MK3 and I had no issues.
It was the first time I printed it with a Prusament, but honestly I don't think it's the filament because I had amazing prints with it with good overhang.
I didn't have time to do more serious tests because we had to do prints for customers, but I hope to do some in the near future.
Is there anyone who noticed something similar or maybe had the opposite experience?
If someone wants to try it, I can provide the model (that's a mod from a thingiverse one).
Thank you everyone,
Andrea
