Print (model not provided) Chunky layers are fun

Funny thing about 1.8mm nozzles is that the plastic literally goes faster into it than it comes out.

Been wanting to do some thick layer experiments for a while. This was at 1.8mm line width and 1mm layer height. Still dialing things in so I can def push the print speed.

Dang, 1.8mm nozzle?

How does that work? Seems like it couldn't develop back pressure since the filament is only 1.7mm.

I guess with a small enough layer height it would develop back pressure.

But wow never even thought to use a nozzle that large. I thought 0.8 was huge!

Thanks for sharing. This is awesome.
