I mean it wasn’t boiling which I thought was the issue. The setup I got rn is a Very Solid glass Jar that was fully Sealed and heated to around 50°C on my Printer bed. Left my Prints in there for between 30 Minutes to a Whole day, and while it was a lot shinier afterwards, no changes in the lines or or layers where to be seen.

Safety wise I got a Gas Mask, Fitting Clothes and some other Saftey stuff around

Hmmm my Heatbed goes to 100°c and I do have a Smooth surface plate around… what do you think?

I have tried using a Regular Soldering Iron to smooth out the surfaces, to not a lotta luck tho. At what temps can the Plastic Colouring be regained? Because I think I had mine set too high

The Shiny look it something I try to somewhat avoid im afraid

The main thing I’m wondering right now, is the MEK supposed to Boil? I feel like it should be, but at that point im also working with e Pressurised Vessel with very much Dangerous chemicals… thought’s?

The Prints I’m working on at the moment are rather small, I think a Torch or Heatgun could also melt other spots that aren’t supposed to be melted because of needed Surface Patterns… I wonder if there is something a bit more Controlled?

I have been using more Coarse ones thus far yes… I do wanna achieve the same colour as the original Plastic tho

I see, thats quite interessting… I do wonder since my Main Concern are Flat Top Surfaces, if putting the rough Print surface on a Heated Surface of Sorts would do something simular? Thinking like a Heated Pan or Metal Sheet?

Soooo I did actually try Vapor Smoothing with MEK Before! Infact I still got a Litre of that Stuff Around now, but even after leaving the print in there for Days at 50°C the Results where… honestly no big Changes at all…

I do suspect there is an Error in my Methodology… but turns out there isnt a lot of Info out there on Vapor Smoothing with MEK… Have you used MEK for Vapor Smoothing before?

3 Thoughts as I had simular Issues!

Is the Bed Leveling correct? A Loose Print Head can give false results, big issue I had once with my P1S.

Try Changing the width and Hight of the First Layer to smaller Values, no clue Why, but it Fixed this kinda issue before for me!

In Software, Is the Model Properly put on the Ground and not floating? Happened to me before, since Supports where turned off I didn’t notice it

Already canceled my Subscription the first time that aI Subtitle Crap came out. Sailin the seas it is!

I’ve gotten myself setup with a DVD and BD Capable Amplifier, so I’ve been slowly getting a little DVD and BD Collection!

Man I wish this still was reliable. Especially with Art Generation they seem to have pretty much fixed that happening and or found promps to hide it. The only way I’ve found to recognize it on the quick is by looking for words or symbols, those still seem notably jank… who knows how long this will stay reliable for…

Oooo I will try that now yes

Hm I see, if anything im glad to not be the only one with such Oddball issues! I’ll keep my expectations at bay incase this does end up hopeless

I can try to messure my Filament, tho this would suprise me as the same Filament works just fine with the 0.4mm Nozzle. I doubt that the Nozzle itself is clogged as it is Brand new and freshly build in

While that will definetly help for my Current project, I do wanna get to the bottom of why it stopped working and fix it once and for all!

Ah a Shame, I was always interested in the M5

This might just be the thing that’ll end up getting me to switch to it

Yes, all Open Surfaces get Ironed
