* This printer is in fairly rough shape mechanically. This causes the most problems with prints that have thin filled walls. | |||
** Printing slower and at a higher flow rate can help with getting acceptable print quality. | |||
*** 220°, 110% flow, 25mm/s (half speed), 0.4 mm nozzle size, 2.85mm filament size are the '''safe''' settings for this. | |||
*** Excellent results have been reported using 220°, 120% flow, 30 mm/s & 0.4 mm nozzle size. '''However''', anything above 110% flow makes head jams very likely. (Some filament reels will work @ higher flow, while others constantly jam.) | |||
