Wow that is a big setup!
I am working on mine this week to just by chance. Hoping to solve a few issues and get on to printing with ASA!

Lol yep mine was caused by trying to print this pctpe that @3d-rc.myshopify.com recommended

Um sir….. does that thing have its own zip code? Lol
How is the print looking so far?

I had the same set up and loved it. Roomy so you can move around if needed.

I tried the next size down made for the E3 and it was too short. This one can hold the 500x500x500 printers.

Still waiting for the filament (PETG) to dry all the way, but I got the e-steps calibrated, leveled the bed, and should be good to go as soon as the filament dries out. I printed a X pattern bed level test and it looked great.

He must get commission from the manufacture as I am about to try PCTPE on @3d-rc.myshopify.com's recommendation as well. LOL

Why would one need one? Is it to keep temps up in the tent so you can use some special fillament?

 

[Moirae]

Is there a reason you should use a tent? I know nothing

To keep the warm air in and cool breezes out. Also some materials give off gasses that are either unpleasant or toxic. I have a vent output nearby that I could vent the tent to if I do decide to use ABS or some other filament that needs vented.

How do you like the venting? I have been afraid to try ABS because my printer is not vented to the outdoors.

I hate usps sometimes, evidently my mail man was too lazy to deliver it yesterday and used the return to shipper code…..just got delivered 5min ago so it’s in a warmer now. Anyone dye the white PCTPE with rit before, any tips?

Just remember if you vent try to find the slowest fan possible or integrate a diffuser..

Haven't attempted it yet. My printer sits near where the washer and dryer used to sit when they used to be in the basement. Previous owners relocated them to the first floor. The dryer vent tube is still there in the wall a few feet away. Wouldn't take much to rig something up tho.

 

[jondilly1974]

Well I got a decent PETG print done and dialed in. Made a swan neck airfoil as a fun exercise. Not sure it it would even work, just wanted to try making one

^^
Which rig does it attach to?

 

[Vietnemesis]

Nice print.

Not sure yet. Maybe the FC100 that is going on the VTE2, but I have yet to decide.

 

[LibertyMKiii]

Love it!
Can you integrate the parts into the airfoil that connect to the swan necks so that you don't need the brackets up top?
