Hi imaginables, Yes, it takes quite a bit with a o.4mm nozzle, that's why we've been using a 0.8mm nozzle. We've printed the parts with 0.27mm layer height and retractions set to on (4.5mm, 45mm/s). All the parts are designed in a way that you don't need support in the slicer. Please let us know how your prints are going! Best, Stephan

also do you recommend enabling retraction? with colorfab XT-CF20?

been meaning to print this for a long time now. I finally got my steel nozzle for my UM2. What resolution do you recommend I slice the files at? I notice the files are designed in a certain way with what looks like the best orientation to print with integrated supports already in the files. Are all the files able to print as it is? support free? they are quite long prints at 0.2mm resolution at 100% infill

Why? Why? Why?

Hi, what about the frame tubes? Alluminum or stainless steel tubes?

<p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="/users/david--2" class="mentioned-user">@david</a>&nbsp; Yes we've used 3.4mm perimater lines and 100% Infill.</p><p><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="/users/rob-s-3d" class="mentioned-user">@robs_3D</a>&nbsp;You'll need 3 to 4 750g spools XT-CF20 to print the bike frame parts.</p>

<p>How much filament do you need to 3d print this bike, include support material?</p>

<p>the shell thickness appears to be 3.2 mm (4 x 0.8 mm)... correct ?</p>

<p>We did a FEM study with the current DIN EN ISO standard and it holds theoretically.</p>

<p>Very cool ! &nbsp; but I wonder how safe it is ... did you do any strength tests ?</p>

<p>Mostly 0.27mm, since these are big parts to print.</p>

<p>Great !<br>Any informations about the layer height ?</p><p>David.</p>
