====== Bees Wax ======

===== Cleaning =====
  - hold part with pliers
  - heat up with very hot water
  - Wipe off with paper towel
  - Clean threads with a toothpick or a metal pin


===== Settings / profiles =====
  * 1,6w 0,2z 15f 0pct
    * 3D object: Cone
    * 35°C filament, no fan, no bed
    * --> FAIL
  * 1,6w 0,4z 7f 0pct
    * 3D object: Cone
    * 35°C filament, no fan, no bed
    * --> Filament stopped adhering to print bed after a while
      * No random layer restarts
      * Higher layer height
      * much more flow
      * First layers are okay, Adhesion only occurs on motor override
  * 1,6w 0,8z 7f 0pct
    * 35°C filament, no fan, no bed
      * OK: first layer sticks with uhu-glue
      * After ±3 layers: material doesn't want to stick onto itself.
      * --> Increase extrusion width from  1.7 to 2.2 (future me: extrusion width doesn't change material flow. It just changes the distance between lines)
      * --> Layer height 1mm everywhere
    * Beeswax 01
      * 35°C filament, no fan, no bed
      * Using Uhu-glue
      * There are gaps between lines
      * not enough extrusion

3D model: cone

  * Beeswax 01 (0,8z 7f)
    * nozzle: 35°C
    * bed: 25°C
    * result: Prints beautifully. Z-axis skipping (Z-axis motion is too fast). Layers delaminate easily, as they are not fused.
  * Beeswax 01
    * nozzle: **40°C**
    * bed: 25°C
    * result: same as above
  * Beeswax 01
    * nozzle **45°C**
    * bed: 25°C
    * result: flakey / grainy texture, but stronger layer adhesion.
  * Beeswax 01
    * nozzle: **50°C**
    * bed: 25°C
    * result: super flakey
  * Beeswax 01
    * nozzle: 50°C
    * bed: 25°C
    * **warm up time: 15min**
    * result: a little more consistent
  * Beeswax 01
    * nozzle: 50°C
    * bed: 25°C
    * warm up time: **40min**
    * result: same as above
  * Beeswax 01
    * nozzle: **55°C**
    * bed: 25°C
    * warm up time: **30min**
    * result: separated material: half oil, half solid. 3D print has a dripped texture. The tip of the syringe is cooler. The body of the syringe is much hotter. 
  * Beeswax 02 (1w 0,5z 7f)
    * nozzle: **60°C**
    * bed: 25°C
    * warm up time: **50min**
    * result: Almost completely liquid. Too liquid for the nozzle width.
  * Beeswax 03 (1w **0,15z** 7f)
    * nozzle: **60°C**
    * bed: 25°C
    * result: Still a little smudgy. Good consistency: creates homogenous lines.

  * Beeswax 4 (0,6w 0,15z 7f)
    * filament: 70°C
    * shape: cone
    * result: a luer tip with 0,6mm inner diameter cools the wax down too much, resulting in jams and sudden eruptions of hot wax.
  *Beeswax 4 (1,18w 0,15z 7f)
    * filament: 70°C
    * shape: cone
    * result: OK, but printing too slow: cools down too fast
  *Beeswax 4 (1,18w 0,15z **20f**)
    * filament: 70°C
    * shape: cone
    * result: Material flow stops. There is a weird buzz which I think is an unprime event.
  *Beeswax 4 (1,18w 0,15z 20f)
    * filament: 70°C
    * shape: cone
    * **head control**: unprime set to zero
    * result:?
  * Beeswax 5
    * filament: 35°C
    * shape: vessel v1
    * result: layers too thick, had to change material flow rate multiplier to 1.5.
