Hardware Materia 101

One of the good ways of calibrating a printer is to print the same G-code on a similar printer and comparing the results.

I propose that you post your Gcode bellow (in a link) and attach a picture with the results.

This could be booth to help others and get help with a tricky print.

Great idea. Will do as soon as I get my Materia up and running. Still in assembly.

So, let's start with something easy: the classical calibration cube.
It is one of the first objects I printed (the first had too thin walls and broke when I removed it from the print bed :slight_smile: )

Print settings:
perimeters: 3
top solid layers: 3
bottom solid layers: 3
layer height: 0.3mm
infill: 10%, honeycomb
temperature: 185°
first layer temperature: 200 (I had best results for first layer with this instead of the default 230)

Print time: 5-8 minutes, not sure

I modified the printer with a heated bed set-up as discussed here, this is IMHO the only way to get something flat in particular when there is a lot of contact area

Thank you all for posting your prints :slight_smile:

I have produced a M6 wrench a small four prong wrench with the Materia 101 that produces consistent copies.
The G Code can be found at: Dropbox - M6Tool.gcode - Simplify your life
I will post picture as soon as I figure out how.

The picture can be found at DropBox:

The code runs for about 9 minutes and can confirm your machines consistency. It can also be used as a 6mm wrench for your tool box.

Reply and Attach it. Might have to resize it down if it's too big.

So I tried printing the 3Dbenchy boat with the Materia and I'm quite happy with the results

I tried to print this cube and it starts off but soon ends up on a wild mess of filament strands, the extruder head gets clogged up with filament. But it does something that's the good news :slight_smile:
Need to sort out what is wrong. Thanks for sharing!
