New Prusa i3 MK3S+ all black  

RE: New Prusa i3 MK3S+ all black

woohoo!  I thought this was a new or special edition model but enjoy non the less.  

RE: New Prusa i3 MK3S+ all black

I have one of them there all black Mk3S+ thingies.  They are indeed  better than the Halloween themed ones.

Ya, you betcha!!!  And I'm just days away from the formula for printable flubber......

I am not buying the faster thing.

Mine is printing right now.  None of the stupid problems that plague the Orange ones.

RE: New Prusa i3 MK3S+ all black

Everyone knows the formula, c = λ f, where c is the speed of light, λ the wavelength in meters, and f equals the frequency in cycles per second.  Black absorbs all colors/frequencies and is therefore faster.

RE: New Prusa i3 MK3S+ all black

Black? Orange? 

RE: New Prusa i3 MK3S+ all black

That looks very nice.  Anything but pumpkin in my book. 

But...  you re-printed the parts in PET-G?  Really?  If I re-print (which I am considering), I will be nylon or PC.

RE: New Prusa i3 MK3S+ all black

Black may be faster than orange but prints stick better on the orange ones. 

RE: New Prusa i3 MK3S+ all black

If PETG is good enough for Prusa it is good enough for me. At the moment I only print PLA, PETG and PETG HT.

When I move to other materials and /or will use an enclosure, I will reprint in an more temp resistant material. But the PETG HT works fine for the fan shroud so that could be good enough.

RE: New Prusa i3 MK3S+ all black

Huh.  Interesting.

My enclosure is off on a vacation seeing the USA.  Stopping by every kleindorf between the Pacific and the Atlantic.  Grrrrrrr...

PC panels, 80/20 frame.  Should be good for heat.

No reason to believe that I want/need/will print higher temp stuff, but such that I am making changes/additions, they will be high temp friendly.

With nylon/PC, you do have this weird selection of chemistry yet fewer color choices.

For some things, PETG is fine.  I would say that if you start seeing your PINDA holder or Fan should sag or deform, consider something other than PETG.  

RE: New Prusa i3 MK3S+ all black

That is why I use the PETG HT. It should be fine up to 100 deg C. So far no problems with the pinda holder or fan shroud.

I print that with the profile for ColorfabbHT in PS. That uses 270 deg C nozzle temp and 110 deg C bed temp. That is high enough to make any problems visible  by now.

RE: New Prusa i3 MK3S+ all black

Which brand of PETG HT are you using?

RE: New Prusa i3 MK3S+ all black

I use Colorfabb. Some one mentioned it in one of the fan shroud posts. And as it is a Dutch company it is easy for me to get quickly and get free shipping here.

Only wish they had more colors.
