Printed parts - kinematicdigit/Jabberwocky GitHub Wiki

Before you start printing Jabberwocky, it's highly recommended that you tune your printer to ensure dimensional accuracy and pressure advanced (bulging corners will affect tolerances). Proper calibration will help you get the best performance and fit from your prints.

If you need a calibration model, Terrance has created the Swiss Cheese Calibration Cube, explicitly designed to help dial in your settings.

Recommended Print settings (ABS or ASA):

  • 0.4mm nozzle
  • Translucent material for the LED diffuser
  • ABS or ASA (use only high-quality filament, not plus)
  • NO MATERIAL SHRINKAGE adjustment (this must be set to default or parts will not fit properly)
  • .2mm layer height
  • .25mm first layer height
  • 30-40% Adaptive Cubic/Gyroid/Rectilinear Grid/Honeycomb infill
  • 4 Walls/Top/Bottom
  • Arachne Wall Generation (Turn off Classic Walls and Detect Thin Walls)

Turn on 5mm of BRIM for the following critical AND core components to prevent any chance of slight warping:

  • [b] Conch_Mount
  • and any front gantry mounts that interface with the Conch Mount.

[!CAUTION] It is highly recommended to verify these parts on a glass table or marble slab to check for absolute flatness. Failing to print absolutely flat will result in a toolhead that is not at a 90 degree angle to your build plate.

Cooling settings:

It is recommended to avoid warping or distortion to turn down cooling to a minimum. Warping will cause parts to lift off your build plate and fail. Heat-soak your enclosure to ensure a minimum ambient temperature of 45 °C. 50-55 °C is ideal if your system can get that high. If your enclosure temperature is above 55 °C, you need to reduce your printing speed by adjusting layer time.

  • 0-17% for regular layer cooling
  • 0-25% for bridging at 25% speed

Optional Settings

These optional line settings ensure the correct overlap between filament lines, increasing strength and preventing delamination.

  • Default: 112.5% or .45mm
  • First Layer: 115% or .46mm
  • Outer Wall: 112.5% or .45mm
  • Inner Wall: 112.5% or .45mm
  • Top Surface: 110% or .44mm
  • Support: 85% or .34mm

Print Supports

Several parts include removable built-in print supports (all indicated in green). Carefully remove them and sand any remnants left behind or to make contact points smoother.

Extruder Front Cover - 1 part

Extruder Guidler - 1 part

Extruder Midbody - 4 parts Make sure to remove the middle filament support and check with a piece of filament that it is all clear. If it has a stray filament, I recommend using a 2mm drill bit to clean it up. You can also use a small needle file at the two converging openings to smooth them out.

Extruder Motor Mount - 1 part

Shroud - 4 parts The surfaces beside the two hinge extensions may need a little light sanding to ensure smooth pivoting. Do not forget the support that is in the blade path (highlights in blue in the image).

Conch Mount - 2 parts
