Printing Tips For Bowden Drive Printers

• Print Slower: 15 – 30 m/s
• First Layer Settings: 100% Height. 150% Width, 50% Speed
• Disable Retraction: Should reduce oozing and stringing
• Cooling Fan: On after first layer
• Increase Multiplier: 1.1, should increase bonding
• Do not over extrude filament when loading. As soon as the filament start protruding from the nozzle, stop. Loading any faster will cause the filament to get caught in extruder gear.
• Feed the filament directly to the extruder, and not through the feeder tube. This reduces back tension in the filament as well as drag, ensuring proper feeding.
