Hi,
I'm trying to print this filament dust filter (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:565432) on my Da Vinci 1.0 (with Repetier, of course) but the hinge always comes off completely fused together, so it won't work. The clearance between the elements is only about 0.4mm I believe, so quite a tight fit. I've tried printing as slow as 20mm/s, with low temps (220), with and without extrusion cooling fan, printing external perimeters first, etc but no luck whatsoever. I'm thinking that perhaps my printer has some backslash, but as far as I can tell, circles for instance are printed quite alright. I'll try next printing some backslash calibration tests, but I was also wondering perhaps the Da Vinci is just not good enough (mechanically) to print with that accuracy?
If someone has managed to print this or is willing to give it a try please let me know your results!
