Hey everybody. I am using Kisslicer and Pronterface for my printer. I want to print a fan duct that has some bridges in it. Specifically the bridges that are located on the circular part of the duct. I'm a little concerned about how Kisslicer will handle these bridges. Here is the Fan duct for reference. I am wondering if I should try to use Kisslicer or just use Slic3r with bridge settings. Also, should I even be concerned? They seem like relatively short bridges. I just don't wan't it to not properly anchor to the walls and end up as a mess. If I have no reason to worry for this particular print then maybe advice will be helpful for all bridges in general. I have printed some bridge tests using Kisslicer and they come out okay but with substantial drooping. Has anyone been able to come up with a way to change the settings in Kisslicer to help fix this problem? Thanks. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,413975,413975#msg-413975 Wed, 15 Jul 2026 07:15:00 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,413975,415045#msg-415045 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,413975,415045#msg-415045 It only worked better because it was larger and wasn't being squeezed in its flow, and with PLA the faster the airflow the better.

So it depends on what you have, really. I plan on getting a nice, large blower fan and concentrating at two opposite points in my new build.]]> MrDoctorDIV Printing Fri, 03 Oct 2014 11:05:14 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,413975,415035#msg-415035 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,413975,415035#msg-415035 jtoombs Printing Fri, 03 Oct 2014 10:41:51 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,413975,414563#msg-414563 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,413975,414563#msg-414563 MrDoctorDIV Printing Thu, 02 Oct 2014 09:21:02 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,413975,414421#msg-414421 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,413975,414421#msg-414421 jtoombs Printing Thu, 02 Oct 2014 01:43:22 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,413975,414361#msg-414361 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,413975,414361#msg-414361 Bridging with PLA typically works by getting good air flow, and since you're printing a fan duct I assume you're going to print it with PLA. I use an air can when I'm printing a duct and don't already have one. I watch the print and blow when it gets to the point of bridging.]]> MrDoctorDIV Printing Wed, 01 Oct 2014 17:36:44 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,413975,413975#msg-413975 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,413975,413975#msg-413975 Fan duct for reference.
