Good news and Bad news: the good news is I was able to print (almost) the ribbed vase I was having trouble slicing. To get it to slice I doubled the bottom's thickness from 3.1 mm to 6.2 mm. And when I printed the part I scaled it up from 110 mm high to 120 mm high.
With these changes Kisslicer seemed to slice it OK. However, Craftware still would not slice it properly. So I used Kisslicer's GCode to start printing. The estimated total print time was a little under 14 hours.
The print looked absolutely superb up to the time I went to sleep for the night. You can see how smooth the inside and outside surfaces are in the first image below. Without a doubt this is the highest quality I have printed so far. Setting Layer Height = 0.2 mm might be the key to that. I was hoping for a really great finished part when I got up the nest morning.
Unfortunately this was not the case. When I got up and turned on the light (it was just before 5AM) the printer was at about the 90% mark and doing just fine. I turned on my PC to get ready to post this message, and very shortly after that the printer stopped printing. I looked at the LCD and it had gone back to the main Info screen where it showed 0 for the heated temperature and the actual temperature dropping fast. So I had no choice but to stop the print and do an Auto-Home.
The printer is powered from the same power control center as my PC. This unit has 4 independently switchable power outlets and is itself connected to a UPS box. My guess is that there was a slight voltage drop caused by turning on my PC, and this somehow affected the Atom2's circuits.
After I did Auto-Home I checked the motherboard connection of the 2 yellow thermistor wires and that was fine. Then I tried Preheat to 200 and that worked OK. So I do think the printer is physically OK.
The second photo below shows the other problem I had: The bottom came off the part when I tried removing it from the print bed. In fact, the bottom did not print as designed - most likely as a result of what Andrew Lee discovered when he looked at the part's STL file. The bottom was supposed to be 6.2 mm thick, but in fact it printed a bottom only 0.6 mm thick (0.6 mm = 3 times 0.2mm layer thickness).
Even though this print failed I am very pleasantly surprised at the quality the Atom2 is capable of printing. I am going to change the way the bottom surfaces are created and try this print again - probably in a smaller version first. Hopefully that will yield an even more impressive result.

Are there any suggestions on how to prevent this?The part is being printed with PLA and it stayed stuck to the print bed for more than an hour. Before printing I cleaned the bed with alcohol and applied a thin, even layer of glue stick.
I added 1 layer high (0.2mm) mouse ears at the 4 corners to help keep the part stuck to the print bed. The part has been printing for about 2 hours now. But when I last checked it had become un-stuck on 3 of the 4 corners. In this pic you can see that on the left-side corner the mouse ear was actually de-laminated - the outer filament trace is still stuck to the print bed, but all the others are un-stuck.
It looks like perhaps the entire piece has simply contracted - perhaps due to some sort of shrinkage resulting from cooling. There must be some fairly strong forces involved to de-laminate the filament. But what causes them is a mystery to me.
Does this suggest I should use ABS instead of PLA for parts like this? Will the Atom2 print ABS OK without a heated bed?
I'm going to let the part finish printing and will post a pic of how it turns out.
Clarence Lee 2015-05-18 02:29:50
Possible solution: 1.use a much bigger mouse ear 2. consider to turn off the M106 controllered cooling fan(set a very high fan z on kisslicer) since it's a large object. Should be fine without cooling. …… 查看更多

I printed square box about 10x10cm before a few times. It's really hard to fight with at least one corner might warp. Sometimes I still thinking if it's round corner might be helpful?

Have anyone experienced that the ball heads becomes rough on the surface?
To test if your ball heads has become rough please try and turn the carbon fiber rods when in place. If you hear a grinding sound like sandpaper. Then the chrome on your ball heads is starting to loosen.
After 300+ hours of printing I refurbished the finish on all of the ball heads. Now after 500+ hours everything works like a charm. No grinding sounds and much, much better, smoother and more precise motion. It now runs better than it did to start with.
Also use a white PTFE (teflon) synthetic grease on the ball heads inatead of the stuff supplied in the kit. PTFE lubricates the best possible way in this type of aplication. The white color makes it easy to know when to change the grease on every individual ball head. It is time to change when white turns dark grey.
Even better would be to not have to use any grease on the ball heads, but. This is a matter of matching the right materials. That is another discussion.
André Medborg 2015-05-11 19:45:29
Here is a picture of how my ball heads looked before and after refurbishment.
Harry Cayne 2015-08-20 00:19:20
how did you do the rechromig (galvanising)?
André Medborg 2015-08-20 02:26:06
Hi Harry Cayne i placed one ball head at a time in a hand drill and used grit 1200 sandpaper to remove the old chrome. Then i polished it with two kinds of wax based polish. That was it. It really works well still after lots and lots of printing. I also use a small amount of teflon grease on the heads.
Harry Cayne 2015-08-20 02:32:25
ah ok thanks, so you made a nice polishing there no electroplating involved
Harry Cayne 2015-08-20 02:34:18
by the way what software are you using ?
Harry Cayne 2015-08-20 02:34:45
for 3D printing ?
André Medborg 2015-08-20 02:45:18
I mainly use Kisslicer and Slic3r, but I have started using CraftWare again and it really works very well. Kiss is very allround and works well. Slic3r is very good for making seamless single walled objects like vases etc.
André Medborg 2015-08-20 02:46:06
Did you have problems with the ball head finish?
Harry Cayne 2015-08-20 02:48:30

kisslicer 估算的時間跟物品體積? 我知道kisslicer 的估算時間都多一點,實際做出來不用那麼久,但是也差太多了,這是atom 實際上都跑比較快嗎?下面工件估算22H45m ,我全程只用80%的速度跑,結果只用16H3m`,這樣算起來只用的估算的60%時間徑可以做完。大家覺得是ATOM 實際跑的速度比較快嗎? 重量估算起來應該是偏多,因為PLA密度約1.25 ,如果照估算應該是 187克,我秤起來160克。

Do different colors of PLA have different stickiness?
I have two colors of PLA from the same manufacturer - orange and purple. The orange PLA has no problem sticking to the Atom2 build plate with just a small amount of glue-stick. But the purple filament will not stick at all. It either becomes un-stuck right away, or shortly after printing starts. The photo shows one of many failures after printing only a few minutes.
I've tried changing first layer temperature and print speed, both individually and together, but nothing helps. If I go back to the orange color with the same GCode file, no problems.
Are there certain PLA colors that are known to be problematic Could I just have a bad reel of PLA?
Clarence Lee 2015-05-04 08:31:56
Maybe, since different color might got different formula . Looks like warping. How about disable cooling fan?(Set the Fan z height to higher value, or toggle the fan speed to 0) Add Brim Dia to 5 or 10 mm
André Medborg 2015-05-04 12:52:08
Birk Binnard I got this problem a lot with clear pla. The solution is to use brown paper packaging tape. With gluestick on top. The gluestick has to dry til unsticky, but no longer than an hour. That ill do the job!
Clarence Lee 2015-05-04 12:56:29
Use hair dryer to increase gluestick dry speed is possible. BTW, try to heat up the glass plate might be another solution. I tried pet warmer stick under glass before I installed a real heatbed. Actually around 40 celsius works pretty well on preventing warping.
Birk Binnard 2015-05-04 13:26:34
Clarence - I did try the hairdryer on the glass plate, but that did not help. However, I do like your idea of drying out the glue once it is on the plate. I did notice that when the warped piece lifted off the glass it had strands if glue connecting i t with the glass, as though the glue had melted. So if this is actually what happened drying it beforehand just might be the key. I'll post results tomorrow. Andre - Yes, I've read about the packing tape approach. Frankly this does not strike me as very appealing because it's not a "neat and clean" solution. Plus, what about the thickness of the tape? I presume I'd have to apply the tape to the glass and then re-do Auto-Home to recalibrate the printer firmware. And then undo all that when I go back to a different color. I'll try this if all else fails, but hopefully I can find a simpler solution. I remember someone once told me that a heated bed was something the Atom2 team is working on, but it's not clear to me how that would be added to the current system.
André Medborg 2015-05-04 16:23:02
Birk Binnard actually I have been experimenting with different "clean" solutions and the best one I have come up with is the print bed surface from bq witbox. With this one you get a really good bond, however it is not without problems. Bonding is real ly good, but with really troublesome print jobs (100% infill, long objects, etc.) then the tape + glue is the only thing I have found to do the job. I know Velleman makes a "clean" print bed surface too, but havent tried it yet. There is one other issue that has to do with the auto alignment of the ATOM2.0. On rare occations the alignment fails and plunges the nozzle setup into the print bed. It doesnt harm the nozzle, but the bed if anything else than glas/glue, gets a beeting! I have tried this two times without any good reason. Oh, and you dont need to do any fiddeling behind the scenes with the tape, just print like it was glass/glue.
Clarence Lee 2015-05-04 17:36:28
I am currently using heatbed 60C + a normal glass without glue/tape. It works pretty well with brim for large object. (small one might even don't need a brim) http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/60856695

[出料不順、噴頭卡卡問題詢問] 小弟的ATOM 1.99組好之後一直有出料不順的問題。大部分的時候它工作很完美(除了些許string待解),但有時就會發生出料不順甚至卡料的意外。經過一陣子的調校,包含改用PC power supply、機構檢測、量測確認噴頭溫度、調整列印速度及 陳亮宇 大blog提及的多項調校 等。最後的設定是 - 溫度210度 - Kisslice destring 6-6-7 - 側風在5mm高之後全開 - 列印速度 第一層 8mm/s, 後面每層 2mm/s 往上加,最高速 < 30mm/s 印了幾次,覺得還可以。但昨晚要印一件大物品時,就發生卡料慘劇了。第一次印時,在大概3mm高之後出料就開始不順。現象是馬達擠不動,且會發出達達達的聲音(料擠不進又彈回的聲音)。觀察發現,我印的這個物件destring的動作頻繁,而回抽的動作做多了最後會導致卡料。於是我修改參數: - 把溫度再往上調到220度. (天啦~ 會不會太高啦?!) - destring 4-4-7 - 列印速度 第一層 12mm/s, 後面每層 4mm/s 往上加,最高速 < 30mm/s 以上修改,是為了避免回抽太多卡住及加快出料避免太多原地來回。 列印效果似乎有改善,但最後還是fail在90%的地方,問題一樣是出料卡死。 這次料卡死在噴頭,卡得很緊。最後拔出來後,發現卡料卡死的原因,如附圖。圖中料那環突出的位置大概是在噴頭到喉管中間附近,圖照得不清楚,實際上那環還蠻不蠻明顯的。料回抽到了喉管會冷掉變硬是正常的,但形狀是這個樣子就會卡死了。我是新手,看到圖中料的這個樣子會懷疑是噴頭到喉管之間有個gap,且gap太大導致。或者是冷卻/加熱的點是不是有什麼異常? 熔料累積過多? 因為溫度都調到220度了,回抽的設定也和大家的建議值不太一樣。所以總覺得哪裡怪怪的。還請各位達人們comment一下,請問我這現象是3DP偶會遇到的"正常情況"嗎? 噴頭卡料如附圖正常嗎? 還是有什麼問題或是需要調整的?

Clarence Lee 感謝。方向更清楚了。就看我接下來有沒有勇氣拆噴頭了。:) 快速接頭是有上下動的情況(尤其是馬達那邊的),我還沒固定它是因為覺得即使它動也是管子動,料線回抽的長度並沒有受到影响。同樣我也不了解,為何管長會影响回抽設定? 在馬達回抽料線長度沒有誤差的前題下,管長和管子鬆動應該不是變因,不是嗎?

管子有彈性..本身平常推料就可以多推一些長度了... 面對這種bowden架構的PTFE管..越長回抽誤差越大... 也可能需要相對較長的回抽距離才會真的抽到噴頭內..不然只是把剛剛在管內造出的長度抽回而已... 一方面這管子大約是內徑2mm,線材是1.75mm左右..所以是有空間可以跑得... …… 查看更多
昭堂張 2015-05-01 11:25:33
Clarence Lee 哦... 有點可以想像管長的影响了。就是管子內寬較料線寬,所以料線在管內的長度會因擠壓等不同情況而不同,進而導致回抽設定每台機器都不太一樣。嗯嗯嗯.... 有種頓時開悟了的感覺..... :)

And here is a video of the finished part:
https://drive.google.com/…/0B3EpEEIPcVPCWFhZbl9uZHBvb…/view…
Note that the print was made with no support structure. Congrats to the Atom2 team for designing a machine that can do something like this with no supports.
The bolt does not fit in the bolt hole because I did not allow enough clearance. But the threads on both the bolt and the hole look good.
The part should be printed at a larger size - probably twice the actual size I printed.
If you want to experiment with this model you can download it here: https://drive.google.com/…/0B3EpEEIPcVPCRDdQMml0S3F2U…/view…
The STL file is 73.86 MB and has been run through the Microsoft Model Repair service.
