I have two different printers, a TOM clone (Come3D C120) and a Replicator 1 Dual clone (Wanhao Duplicator 4). For both printers I use RepG 40 for Sailfish with Skeinforge, and using the latest Sailfish firmware. For these printers, I use the default slicing profiles, with a few overrides described on the Sailfish setup page: [www.makerbot.com] See the attached images of the owls: the yellow one is printed with the Replicator 1 Dual clone, the blue smaller one with the TOM clone. But quite interestingly, both show the same effect on the top layer on the head: there are quite a lot of holes. Even the 20mm hollow box calibration piece shows this artifact. Printing settings: - Yellow and Blue ABS - HBP for the TOM 100C, for the R1 Dual 90C - Nozzle temp around 230C - 0.2 mm layer height - Accelerated speed (80mm/sec feedrate, 150mm/sec travel) - 5-10% inflill - Number of shells: 2 - Deprime provided by Sailfish firmware, switched off in SF Any ideas?

Bad news for me, what is the resason why? I usually set perimeter slower than infill (from 0.5 to 0.8 more or less) to print a little quicker…]]> François Delègue Skeinforge Thu, 19 Sep 2013 11:15:42 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,241707,243207#msg-243207 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,241707,243207#msg-243207
You will get better quality prints of you set the infill speed the same as the perimeter.]]> nophead Skeinforge Fri, 06 Sep 2013 15:03:08 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,241707,242555#msg-242555 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,241707,242555#msg-242555 I tried playing around with Slic3r, and noticed an option that would increase the solid layer count where the slicer detects a sloping that could benefit from more solid layers. I don't suppose there is such option in SF, is there?
I also see an option in Slic3r to have a different speed for solid infills and top solid infills. Anything like that in SF? I think my prints could benefit from such options.]]> bbence Skeinforge Wed, 04 Sep 2013 08:11:43 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,241707,242292#msg-242292 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,241707,242292#msg-242292 nophead Skeinforge Tue, 03 Sep 2013 06:40:04 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,241707,242267#msg-242267 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,241707,242267#msg-242267
yes, 80mm/s is very quick. Perhaps a ventilator too… are there holes in infill too? (I suppose you should say it…)]]> François Delègue Skeinforge Tue, 03 Sep 2013 04:47:42 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,241707,242232#msg-242232 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,241707,242232#msg-242232 What I will try is that I will try printing these models with slower speeds, maybe 80mm/sec is too fast for correct filling on the top layer...]]> bbence Skeinforge Tue, 03 Sep 2013 01:31:12 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,241707,242040#msg-242040 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,241707,242040#msg-242040 François Delègue Skeinforge Mon, 02 Sep 2013 10:20:12 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,241707,241707#msg-241707 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?154,241707,241707#msg-241707 For both printers I use RepG 40 for Sailfish with Skeinforge, and using the latest Sailfish firmware.
