You answered yourself.. is that yellow ink. I gather it's dye an not pigment. How old it is and which brand ?. OEM inks are well protectd from algae/fungi contamination but that's not always the case with third party inks. One efect of this kind of contamination is increased viscosity and...

How many times we warned about buying Canon printheads from Ebay/Ali Express ?. I expect it's logical that people continue doing it with printheads discontinued by Canon long ago. but all the same I repeat : Listen please, ladies and gentlemen : Canon printheads purchased from non reputable...

Having my feet firmly rooted to the ground, I'm contented printing 1:18 scale models. :p Do you think that this guy will take enough revenue from youtube to pay for the tons of filament and electric energy involved in this crazy project. ?. I guess he forgot to feature in the video a couple...

Among the regulars in this forum, I don't recall anybody who owns a Canon Pro300/310. Maybe there're, I wouldn't know for sure. Most people here refills the carts. Until the Pro 10/100 generation that was feasible because there're chip resetters. Not so with the newer Pro 200/300/310. It seems...

I'm not complaining. The present printhead (the second of my Pro10s ) has behaved nicely for several years. Nevertheless, we all know that Canon printheads sometimes die suddenly for no apparent reason without a B200 error warning. Touching on wood.

I bet that the soap for the washing machine has a stronger smell than any filament. :p

I refill on a regular basis my two current printers : - Pro10s : mix of OEM and Octoinkjet inks. - Maxify MB5150 : OEM ink from G56 bottles for CYM colors and Inktec ink for Black. Fact is that nowadays I print very little. Almost no photos and not much text, so I guess that my Pro10s wastes...

Aren't you being a bit over the top with that "nasty gases" scare ?. Although I don't print ABS, all the other filaments -ASA included - smell very little. Yes, I print inside an enclosure, and I use a Nevermore filter ,but even leaving the doors open, there's nothing to complain in this matter...

Yeah, I forgot about that, those parts for the ,lampost must be quite huge. @Redbrickman is right, an enclosure is almost mandatory for printing large parts in ASA. Not only that; to prevent warping you'd need to set a large brim around the model and, depending on the printing surface, use...

... or dislike it ...:p @The Hat, I expect you're planning to print the new 3D lampost in PLA ?. If you made it from ASA instead of PLA, you shouldn't worry anymore about heat, UV rays or even Asian hornets. Why I suspect that my suggestion will be scornfully disregarded ?. :rolleyes:

You're the Irish branch of Von Masoch's followers .. :hide

That GX range of Maxify printers is hugely overpriced IMHO. Megatank GX models cost almost twice as the equivalent Maxify model that uses cartridges. Canon charges you in advance for the savings in ink cost that they consider you'll make purchasing bottles instead of cartridges. As @The Hat...

Don't worry @The Hat. If the most devastating gales can't damage your mighty lamp post., hornets aren't a problem. Those buggers are really tough. Just ordinary domestic hornets, not Imported Asians. I have an electric device for killing flying insects ( you know, those things that look like a...

Anything but CURA. Those who created this abomination and still keep updating it should be in jail for the rest of their lives ... Compared to them, the Marquis of Sade was a harmless phylantroper.

I’ve never been much interested on multimaterial/multicolor machines. thinking that it's an awful waste of time and filament. In many cases (not always, of course ) multicolor prints can use clever designs where the final model is made assembling different parts printed separately. No waste at...
