<p>Here are a few of the things you can learn from examining the results:<br></p><p>1. Detect filament diameter variability, hollow filament, and bubble voids.</p><p>A rough surface, with streaks and pits will indicate these type of conditions.</p><p><br></p><p>2. High Moisture Content</p><p><br></p><p>The straightness of the wall edges and surface, rising from the base, and the absence of splitting are desireable, and found if the filament is dry.</p><p>3. Ideal bed temperature</p><p>Warping in the first 10 mm might indicate the bed is too hot. Peeling away at the base, then too cold.</p><p>4. Ideal Hot End Temperature.</p><p>Even though the part is very thin, it should resist a 30° bend without splitting. If you need something to compare too, split the lip of a Dixe cup, and tear. It shoulf feel at least that strong.</p>
