Hi All.
I'm new to the forum and I am looking for any assistance or experiences with the Da Vinci Duo (Blue).
I'm rarely able to get a successful print out of it.
I turned it off a few weeks as I was just getting frustrated - went back to it today.
Issue 1 - Extruder 2 drags into the previous layer
Issue 2 - Extruder wire harness sometimes messes with the left side drive belt
Issue 3 - Curving up at corners of prints - skirt helps a bit
Issue 4 - Inconsistent flow resulting in bumps and gaps in surfaces.
Issue 5 - Cumbs - I guess this is due to issue 1.
I am using Simplify 3D with the Duo profile loaded and have tried seemingly endless variations of speeds, feeds, thickness, etc... but I just don't seem to hit on the right combo.
I find the XYZware app gives even worse results and takes forever to slice - so I decided to go with Simplify.
Do any of you out there have good/bad/similar experiences and solutions to problems with this printer.
This is my second printer, my first is a kit... and I am not yet having any better experience.
While I'm used to using a Stratasys previously in my contract work, I do appreciate this is a budget printer, but should at least work 1 time out of a handful of attempts.
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
