![JGAURORA A5 - Tips and Mods For Printing PETG!
In this episode, we will be talking about tips and mods I made to get supper clean PETG parts on the JGAURORA A5S (see more here: http://diy3dtech.com/gearbest-jgaurora-a5-updated-high-accuracy-3d-printer/). Below are the promised links and even more tips then in the video! If you have additional tips, please leave them in the comments below to help others out!
MODS:
Capricorn Bowden Tube: https://amzn.to/2PucTDD
Stainless Steel Nozzles: https://amzn.to/2EpeQee
3D Printer Silicone Sock: https://amzn.to/2PT7bd8
Athorbot Build Surface: https://amzn.to/2Pt7sF0
KISS Slicer: http://www.kisslicer.com/
Settings: (Bowden)
Retract Distance: 6.5mm
Retract Speed: 50 mm/sec
Travel Speed: 200 mm/sec
For those that will ask, I forget to mention in the video is travel distance for retraction which I pretty much leave stock as I have found the three setting [above] pretty much yield high quality prints for me. Other settings I have played with for marginal gains are:
1. Wall Order - This can assist in keeping the nozzle printing more rather then travelling, as well also keeping it over the part verses open travel. The downside to this can be wall quality as well as increased print times.
2. Keep Nozzle Over Part - This can have various names in various slices and the idea is the same as above in that travel is kept over top of the part the stringing hid inside the infill. Worth is if possible this should be disabled for Skin Layers to avoid the stringing becoming embedded in the skin. The downside of course is an increase of travel time.
3. Turn on Ironing - while this is a CURA thing, I have found it does provide modest result and is worth but it again will cost more time so would suggest reserving it for finished parts only.

![Ortur Laser - Can You Cut Harbor Freight Foam Floor Tiles!
In this episode, we will be be working on a recipe for what many refer to as Harbor Freight Floor Tiles (see more here: https://amzn.to/2GRPH0z ) as you can get these many places. The sample I used was 14.7mm thick and the laser is an Ortur 15watt (input ~4 watt output see more here: https://diy3dtech.com/ORTUR_Laser_Master ) with a G8 lens (see more here: http://diy3dtech.com/G8-Laser-Lens ) and air assist (see links below). Now this is a dense foam and there is some re-melting as well as off-gassing which can be harmful so use at your own risk.

![Shop Talk - Cheap and Cheerful Task Lighting!
In this episode, we will be taking a look at some [LED] task lighting we picked up on the cheap ($13.99) for two units. As I am building out my new shops (machine & electronics) using industrial metal shelving we found the need for task based lighting for the lower shelfs and this product worked out perfectly! You can see more about this lights here: https://amzn.to/2SgZl02
Epilogue: three days after receiving the lights and making the video, they raised the price by $2 ($1 each) to $15.99 which is still a good at $8 per unit.
