#MakiBox A6 - Tuning into a Print

Today has been another long day of getting the test machine up and running. It is really looking sweet as far as the movement, but it looks like the test print will happen tomorrow after making a revised nozzle.

The current nozzle has an output of 0.3mm, which provides a fair amount of back pressure. It looks like we might move to a 0.4mm output for testing and then go back to tune up the rest of the system to get back to the 0.3mm.
