  • If I said I want to 3D my posterior and have a custom fitting chair would you believe me? For some things I think a bigger printer makes sense.

    Also that, and it can mount 4 heads to print on a m^2 build area. There a couple of different reasons I’d like the giga to be in a solid state. Least of all the ability to crank out a lot of smaller parts on repeat is strategically important to me.

    That’s not to say your argument doesn’t have merit. I’ve been finding that a lot of time can be saved splitting the parts and printing on smaller printers. The giga is a nice to have but not needed per se.




  • I think you might have nailed it on advice. Based on what you and others are saying it sounds like an enclosure is in order.

    I was wondering about glue? I’ve been using it on the build plate on the giga. To be honest though, I don’t even bother gluing pla or PETG prints on my smaller printers that have textured PEI build plates.
    Understandably though, it makes sense the larger build area and lack of enclosure would make adhesion more difficult.

    I noticed a bit of wobble when it was printing the arches at higher heights. I think you are again right in that speed needs to be reduced.
