My second print is running! Here are some picts. So far I'm very impressed. A few thing left to clean up but it is looking good. |

Amazing print quality so far. I will post up pictures. I'm burning through some green glow in the dark PLA that is not great stuff and even so the prints look great. Very little tuning needed. The only struggle is getting the heated bed up to ABS temps. I may try 24V to solve that. printed at .30 layer height. 100 mm/s. Attachments:

Theo, looking great so far! A 24v system will definitely help the heated bed get up to temps, I've seen the same issues with slow heating but unfortunately it's too late for me to completely redo my whole project around a 24v system! Perhaps in a future iteration though.

I converted my M2 to 24v. It did make the z motor run cooler. It looks like all the Eclips3d components can do 24v. All you would need is a new 24 hot end heater and to rewire the bed, Sound right?
I don't think 24v would give much benefit unless you do a lot of big ABS prints.

I've been using a SSR and main-voltage with a silicone heater, heats up to 120 degrees in about 5 or 6 minutes. PCB heating on 12 or 24 volt isn't very efficient.

I was actually thinking of switching out to a silicone heater. Which SSR do you recommend.
