Additive colors that look great on screen are poorly translated to the printers subtractive color palates so you do not end up with an easily readable document in hand very often. Perhaps my blood is contaminated with printers ink, as a young teen 70+ years ago I hung around the local print job shop who had both a darkroom and a Heidelburg windmill job press and I KNOW what quality color printing can look like. We are not getting it today from a printer I can afford.
Anyway, change subject, to see thru prints because the 3d isn't using enough string. Its getting better as I raise the extruder steps/mm. Im now making the third of those fan duct attachments, but this time the bed was zeroed on some .0005" alu foil. And the extruder was just set up another .15% faster. Poor print, poor supports and I can see thru it well enough to read todays newspaper. Thats air leakage, probably 75% of it going someplace else besides the tip of the nozzle where it belongs. I may give up and give it a coat of paint to seal it up yet. But this close to the bed, it sticks really well, and I may rip the bottom plumb out of it, we'll see in about 20 minutes. Thanks Chris.
