I do like using larger nozzles but the quality suffers with thicker layers. I am sure that is why there is a quest for faster printers not things like 5mm nozzles. I use 0.5mm nozzles and 0.35-0.4mm layer height, I really really do not want to go above that. Since my repeats are so much faster than my V2’s I have been using finer layers to get some of that nice crisp detail back.
Wire management is one of those things I kind of enjoy, so I used to only think about it on a high level when designing. I knew I could make it work nicely as long as the parts fit. So many people complained, I realized I needed to add a bit more…I just do not like adding a bunch of printed parts and hardware to constrain a tiny wire when a cable tie works great. I am learning to incorporate it more though, the LR3 is closer. I knew the wire path and added features, still didn’t add any extra parts though.
As for the 300x300, Two reasons. For me I have been at this since 2013 every bed I have ever touched has been 200x200. literally thousands and thousands. I never think of anything else. The second reason is when I do consider it I know I will go mains power on it. That adds cost along with the larger bed, heater, spring steel, now SSR. This one did get designed at 200 and 300, but I left it at the size I was using.
All good info so far, the next one will be different. I have a bit to wrap up on the LR3 instructions before I get started in CAD so I wanted to start getting info before I run with it.
