General Discussion / Thoughts on the Micro-Swiss cooling block?

Does anybody have the Micro Swiss cooling block or have any thoughts of using it in conjunction with the ZT-HE?

Materials Compatibility / Julia, curious if you can help me. ZT-HE +Z-Suite profiles for Z-Glass & Z-Hips

« on: February 01, 2018, 10:08:49 PM »

I'm really liking the new ZT-HE hot end, but I would prefer to use the standard Zortrax materials along with the Z-Suite predefined profiles for them such as profile for high quality Z-hips and Z-Glass. It's the temp that I need to turn down though. The ZT-HE does run hotter than the Zortrax V2 hot end and tends to create the associated problems or running too hot, strings and support fusing with model. So I'm wondering if I switch to my profile to "external filament" even though I'm using Z-Glass for example and start tweaking with the settings, I'd prefer not to get crazy with the settings though, I'd just like to know what the default profile temperature of those materials is so that the only setting that I have to tweak is the temperature because they yield very fantastic results, just need to bring the temperature down. Hard to know what those settings are when they're locked in a profile though.

Screenshots of Defaults attached to better explain.

I'm still learning, my strengths are in design and teaching myself 3d printing as I go here. Wondering if the default settings when you switch to a "zortrax like" material in external filament mode gives you the default profiles to start with? Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks,
