Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Revolutionizing 3D Printing with MIKA3D's Silver Copper Filament Printer by Bill Howard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great if you can find the right settings

So originally I was going to give this one 1 star because my extruder keeps jamming with just this filament. However, after extensive testing, I have chosen the settings so far that I no longer have any printing problems. I am using an original Prusa i3 Mk3 with a 0.4mm nozzle and should use the following settings to keep this filament from getting stuck mid-print: : Min 30% Max 60% (disabled for first layer) Z- Hop: Disabled Retraction Length: 0.5mm Retraction Speed: 40mm/s. I also set the extrusion width for the perimeters and infill to 0.7mm, although I'm not 100% sure this was necessary. Hopefully these settings will help if anyone else is having trouble with filament getting stuck midway through prints. I believe what happened was that as the filament was being pulled in, it cooled and expanded enough to clog the throat of the hot end. Printing at these settings allows for enough "deliberate warmth" to prevent this.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires socket
