At a glance, it looked like a R2D2 decked out in Imperial Red Guard outfit..

I do actually plan on doin an R2D2 thats mildy kitted out with some servos and a cheap robot controller.

Well im super excited to say its a reliable beast. And it's speedin' through the mask and the quality of the print is great. So happy!! Popped out and took a look before work. 300mm/s and mask looks mostly done.

@Tex Koder - Can you take that Revan mask file, pop it in your slicer, put at .3 layer height and 30% infill, whatever speeds you want, supports on "everything" and let me know what it says it'll take ya. I wanna make sure im not just hallucinating this crap lol.

So on the Ender 3 S1
@ 150mm/s
.3 layer height
30% infill



Supports - Touching Buildplate, Overhang angle = 83°

9 hours 39 minutes

Supports - Touching Buildplate, Overhang angle = 60°

18 Hours 3 minutes


Supports - Everywhere, Overhang angle = 60°

21 Hours 11 minutes
Assuming it will complete without any fails...


And just for the heck of it..
@ 0.2 Layer height

Kind of weird..
It uses Less filament but take Longer time.

1 Day 6 Hours 56 minutes

Again, assuming it doesn't fail somewhere..

 

[nomis38]

Awesome thanks man I appreciate the break down.

Yeah, i don't get why it'd use less filament haha that is very odd. I feel like I did to many supports but ive never printed something like this standing straight up, so i just put the most supports i could. So yeah I guess this F'er really is fast. It finished a bit under 11 hours with full supports, the settings you have in the third one.

I can tell urs is significantly faster than my BIQU BX though. If I do .2 on my BIQU lord its really bad, more like close to 2 days.

If you flip it upside down..
You can cut the time down even more >>

@ 0.2 Layer Height

19 Hours 5 Minutes



@ 0.3 Layer Height
Supports - Tree , Touching Buildplate

14 Hours 31 Minutes
Only uses 231g of filament!
****************

Even Better with your larger buildplate, you can lay it down
(I had to Reduce its Scale down by 15% to make it fit my printer, but you don't have to..)
Using Tree Supports , @ 0.3 Layer Height

Looks to take only 10 Hours 3 Minutes and use just 142g filament

 

[nomis38]

Yeah I probably should have played around a bit more haha. Thanks. And wow way less filament. 142g is like nothing for a full mask.

Ok update:

Came out amazing and the supports came off wayyyy easier then I thought. Took about 10 minutes to remove. She will be sanded and painted before i hit the sack. Now I need two more overnight prints <--- First priority

Smashin out Anakin's Saber on the BIQU BX, its got some decent detail on its pieces.

So this is in another thread but since it's running on this machine i'll post it in the review as its kinda relevant. Reprinting my Lambo splitter in 1 solid piece instead of two like it was as its a huge single piece.

These are some of the nicest layers i've ever seen. Like a freakin weave!!

Look at that pretty weave..

 

[nomis38]

I did .2 layer height on that one i guess maybe thats why its looks so freaking amazing.

 

[nomis38]

I got in my hotend assembly as a spare part... $20 is a pretty good deal for all you get honestly. Tip, heatsink, wiring, rubber heatbrake, heatsink.

That's a sweet looking hotend!

Yeah it does look decent. In reviews I saw a lot of what they call blob of death and ruining the hotend so I wanted to be sure I had the part if it happend. Ordered it like a couple days before I got the printer. I don't think ill have that problem. I am positive at this point all these bad reviews on the N4M are from poor bed leveling.

I will say if you didnt have prior knowledge about the z-offset not saving that would have ruined some prints till you figured it out. Maybe some neg reviews from that, but thats a legit complaint.

 

[nomis38]

Printing the Dooku Saber. Good Lord this printer can mash out some detail. This is the first really detailed thing ive done on it.

 

[Dan B.]

Dan,
That's the Perfect 3D gift- in the way that you Know it has printed before
and now you get to Beat on it like a redheaded step child and Not have to worry about "breaking it" because you didn't treat it 'right' (from the start..)

When you get a chance take a photo of what you got so we know what you're working with.

If you have anything questions -about its setup or how to get it going.
Don't hesitate to ask..

We'll be able to help you out.

Tex, I appreciate that offer more than you know. I promise I’ll try to not be too big of a pain in the butt, as I’m sure I’m going to have questions about my questions.
Meanwhile I need to stop reading this thread, you guys are intimidating the crap out of me!

My review has finished filming. Ill have it edited and uploaded this weekend. I did a full unbox, build, bed level and test print. So you can see on this one at least it's kinda a piece of cake. They used to be hard. I have not adjusted anything but z-offset "don't worry youll quickly learn what that means" everything is factory stock still even now. Again opened box and hit print within 50 minutes, maybe 1 hour 30 if its your first printer. Thats darn good. Yours that used to print should be a solid base to start with. Shouldnt need much adjustment at all. Also nothing my video wont cover.

I know there is many other reviews out there, but its nice to see someone you know do it. I trust that a bit more. And knowing they are not sponsored or paid for it.

Holy Hell !!!! This is from the BIQU BX
