Motor testing

Testing a new geared stepper from 2engineers.com with hybrid metal gears, some problem brass gears replaced with steel. This is one of the most punishing print tests, a lava texture honu with lots of retraction using cheap craptastic PLA that has very poor extrusion and adhesion properties. I still have a high failure rate getting the first layer to stick, and this is the only PLA I've had strip on the blddk hobb.

Testing a new geared stepper from 2engineers.com with hybrid metal gears, some problematic brass gears are replaced with steel. This is one of my most extruder-punishing prints, a 4-hour lava texture honu with lots of retraction using cheap craptastic PLA that has very poor extrusion and adhesion properties. I still have a high failure rate getting the first layer to stick, and this is the only PLA so far I’ve had that’s prone to strip on the blddk hobb.
