skeinforge tweaks for build quality - help request Well after 2 years of working on it off and on I finally got an extruder working and built a fairly descent model: firstbuild5.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('ee711300993ba2f7fcb89adb5f288e52', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?12,module=embed_images,url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.binaryconstruct.com%2Fimages%2Fstories%2Freprap%2Ffirstbuild%2Ffirstbuild5.jpg', 'http://www.binaryconstruct.com/images/stories/reprap/firstbuild/firstbuild5.jpg', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?12,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.binaryconstruct.com%2Fimages%2Fstories%2Freprap%2Ffirstbuild%2Ffirstbuild5.jpg', '', 26757, 800, 400, 'Loading image ...', false); I am having a few issues between the layers as you can see here: firstbuild3.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('14d9936459c49131716ee43ec171bbd6', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?12,module=embed_images,url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.binaryconstruct.com%2Fimages%2Fstories%2Freprap%2Ffirstbuild%2Ffirstbuild3.jpg', 'http://www.binaryconstruct.com/images/stories/reprap/firstbuild/firstbuild3.jpg', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?12,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.binaryconstruct.com%2Fimages%2Fstories%2Freprap%2Ffirstbuild%2Ffirstbuild3.jpg', '', 26757, 800, 400, 'Loading image ...', false); Does anyone have an idea of what is causing this and if there are some settings i should try playing around with to improve the quality? I do have a rather large nozzle (0.5mm with a 0.64mm extrusion size) that I believe compounds the effect due to the low resolution. On the other hand it builds really fast - this model took about 20 min.

I don't think your nozzle is particularly large - most I've heard about are 0.4-0.6.

I'm assuming that distortion is caused by the layer start/end. If so,\ there might be some benefit in examining the start/stop timing.

Also, you could try a filled object - especially if you can use the new host software, which starts in the middle of the internal fill to minimize the start/stop effect.

Good luck!]]> DaveR RepRap Host Wed, 26 Aug 2009 02:11:36 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?12,26757,26757#msg-26757 skeinforge tweaks for build quality - help request https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?12,26757,26757#msg-26757


I am having a few issues between the layers as you can see here:
