| + | - With Generic FLEX selected, go to the Filament Settings tab in PrusaSlicer and modify the nozzle temperature for first layer and other layers to the fillament manufacturer recommended settings | ||
| + | - Slice file, and load the filament as before | ||
| + | - Swap the smooth steel sheet with the //textured steel sheet// | ||
| + | - Switch from //Smooth1// to //Textur1// by pressing the knob with the Sheet option highlighted in the main menu | ||
| + | - The prusa has a setting in the main menu for switching [[https:// | ||
| + | - Loosen the feeder gear tension to the lowest it will go with an allen key: [[https:// | ||
| + | - Make sure the screw is still fully in the nut on the right side of the head | ||
| + | - To be safe, turn down the printing speed to about 60% by turning the knob counterclockwise while in the main menu | ||
| + | - you may find this is not necessary if the filament sticks well | ||
| + | - if you don't want to do this every print, you can modify the speed settings in prusaslicer instead | ||
| + | - When done, change the sheet, sheet profile, unload filament and tighten the idler screw so that it is flush with the surface | ||

| + | ===== Revo RapidChange nozzles ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | It's now possible to print more detailed or larger prints as the new | ||
| + | nozzles can be quickly unscrewed by hand and swapping them takes less then | ||
| + | a minute. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The normal nozzle size is 0.4mm, and is marked with a RED cover. Make sure | ||
| + | you have the correct one installed before starting a print and please swap | ||
| + | back to 0.4 when you're finished with a differently sized one | ||
| + | |||
| + | We currently have 0.25, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8mm brass nozzles, hopefully | ||
| + | hardened ones for abrasive materials will be released later. | ||
