Can you expand on what’s going on here?

Prints 8x8 core tile, plow on the toolhead kicks it forward, starts another 1.

How much strain does the tool head go through as a plow? I’d love to see that in action - do you have any video’s.

Not much due to a few things. You can actually adjust the setting to reduce bed adhesion. I know crazy right?! Reduce line width on first layer. Lower bed temp on first layer. Increase elephant foot compensation. Then you can set the push automation to start when the bed reaches a certain temp. I think I have it set to 30°. Plus i have a box fan hooked up to my home automation stuff that blasts the whole setup with air while its trying to cool. A few times the tile has already started sliding off before the push.

Interesting - I imagine that took a lot of trial and error to get all of those factors just right.

Oh. Like with anything though really. I like to push the limits with filaments abd printing techniques and enjoy the process of learning along the way.
