Hey Oppo,
Learn me some skill. Pulled out my Hobart Mig 3D Printer. Using Fluxed core wire. Trying to weld 16 gauge steel. Clean steel. Using settings of 30ish on the wire feed and tried 2-4 on the power settings.
I don’t know what that translates to in actual voltage, amperage... it’s a setting on Hobart.
I see whole lotta splattering. Shit all over, but barely any penetration.
Eventually, I slowed down (I was going the speed of caulk gun applying caulk) Was able to tack my pieces with some healthy looking blobs of metal.
Every video I watched on youtube makes it seem like they are going about the speed of caulk gun, but is that true? Is it much slower?
I was also having occasional nozzle touch the metal and stick briefly. Is that a thing? Why is it made of metal? Why not make it something non conductive?
before you ask, I think I followed instructions for polarity to accommodate the fluxed core. No shielding gas atm.
