    I bought this printer a couple of years ago, it was my first 3DP and it just seemed like a good deal. I've used it to learn and educate myself on 3D printing. It's taking a little bit of tweaking here and there, but it works great.

    Set Cura or whatever slicer you use to print the walls BEFORE the infill, should entirely solve the infill showing on the outside of the print without having to use extra plastic/time with a 4th wall.

    Never never never go with a Spatula on an Ultrabase. Only wait, if the Bed is under 30 Degrees it pops easy off the bed. With the Spatula you destroy the bed really fast. (Maybe you pin this, you showed your audience the wrong way) (Sorry for my english)

    • @ModBotArmy
      @ModBotArmy  4 года назад +1

      I have been using a spatula with the ultrabase for a long time and have never had issues? The artillery machines ship with it and they are my work horses.

    • @SunnyAustria

      @@ModBotArmy I hope i can describe it: There are 2 things: 1.)Sometimes the microtexture on the Glass will stuck at the underside of the print and your Ultrabase is gone if its too warm and you dont wait and peel it of with a spatula. 2.)Everytime you use the spatula you will remove a little bit of the texture. Its not much, you need a microscope to see that, but it happens. And someday it will be too smooth and you will get adhesion problems. Nice Greets

      Mine scrapes the plate. I never use the spatula anymore either. The prints always pop of easily after cooled.

    • @locked01
      @locked01 4 года назад +1

      I got goosebumps when I saw that spatula on the Ultrabase. Although Ultrabase is a really good bed, mine came bent so at the moment, the printer sits on a corner getting dust. I shall also point out that it is a very crappy machine. If I could turn back time I would NEVER buy again an Anycubic Mega X. Avoid it especially if you're a beginner.

    Nice, I've been thinking of trying the metallic rainbow filament, looks like you need quite a few layers to get the benefit of the effect. I wish they'd make more mini rainbow spools where the colour changes are quicker at shorter lengths

    I have a question about the Mega X........is it "normal" for the printer to place its print files NOT in the bed center BUT on the left rear of the bed? If I slice in CURA, will the opened file be placed on the bed so it does NOT overhang the bed??? My old Makerbot was quite a bit different in terms of the interface as well as printer software......

    • @That_sand_guy
      @That_sand_guy 2 года назад

      It should place it where you place it on the slicer. The only time I’ve had a similar issue to what you described is when I forgot to change the printer type on the slicer. So make sure you are using the correct slicer settings for the Mega X. Hope that helps.

    Watching your video, it DOES appear that your models are placed in the approx. center of the bed. My new Mega X seems to always place projects off to the left rear which is odd. waiting for Anycubic to respond to my questions. Also take care with the owl file. It started printing right on the rear edge of the bed and made a really scary "skipping" sound as the nozzle slid along the glass edge..........not sure why that happened. Any sent me a dog file to try and that was also placed at the left rear BUT at least in .5" from the rear edge......

    I agree with so many of your points.... to me, it's just yet ANOTHER CR-10 type clone. The part cooling fan on one side bugs me (overhangs for the opposite side could suffer). Like you said, at this day and age, A4988 drivers should be long gone with 2208/2209 drivers available everywhere for not much money. (In comparison, the Eryone Thinker S/SE have 2208 for the same price, depending on sale) Good video :)
