Print Pc and Nylon?

I was considering switching to the glass bed but I don’t like the idea of losing the automatic leveling

Thanks

FYI: Snapmaker 2 All-Metal Hotend Simple Mod

Let me put some context. I want to use my 350 to print Carbon Reinforced PETG, in order to do that I have to be able to reach around 260 Degrees, a bit more if I have to use a hardened steel nozzle to manage the wear. As you may know, PTFE starts to degrade and generate toxic fumes around 240-260 degrees. In the Snapmaker 2, we have a PTFE lined hotend, that means that there is a PTFE tube that gets up to the nozzle, thus I needed an all-metal hotend to avoid the problems of PTFE degradation. I…

@imD Check out this thread, it is done through terminal/gcode files instead of the touchscreen interface.

How to do a larger than 3 x 3 matrix level

So here’s my attempt at doing a leveling matrix larger than 3 x 3. Please be advised that this is not for the faint of heart. If you mess up this process you can bury your nozzle into your print surface. I know, I did. I’ll try and tell you how to avoid that. If you aren’t having any trouble with the first layer of printing then this process isn’t for you. I am doing this on an A250, so you may have to change some things for your size Snapmaker. The controller has a version of leveling that the…
