But as a lubricant, not to good, -0 surface tension. So I didn't think of it.
Its running on a thin film of Lymans Super Moly barrel grease, seems happy but its young yet. Running nicely at noon yet, at about 15 rpm out, sounds like maybe 1000 revs in. Can't stop it by hand. More making. Looked at printers, thought I'd found one in the Saphire, till I read the reviews, zero support, crappily made, 9 reviews, all complaining. Thumbs down. > On Wed, Aug 19, 2020, 5:02 AM Gene Heskett <ghesk...@shentel.net> wrote: > > On Wednesday 19 August 2020 00:19:40 Gene Heskett wrote: > > > On Tuesday 18 August 2020 20:30:45 Gene Heskett wrote: > > > > On Tuesday 18 August 2020 18:50:22 Frank Tkalcevic wrote: > > > > > > the middle of a now thicker and nuch denser 6 wall build. > > > > > > cura settings are for 6 line walls, 15 ipm and 30 ipm. > > > > > > > > > > 6 line walls/perimeters is a large number.
