Hello Reprappers!! I am fairly new to this amazing 3d printing world! I have been trying to experiement alot with different slicers, and i have made it through Slic3r and Cura (Both Through Repetier host) I have been getting different results. The best results were obtained by using Slic3r, BUT! (and here comes the point of the topic) a print with slic3r takes roughly 3 times as long as with Cura, even though the speed settings are the same. How can this be? - Is slic3r just that slow? https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,496810,496810#msg-496810 Sun, 16 Aug 2026 11:54:54 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,496810,500941#msg-500941 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,496810,500941#msg-500941 www.thingiverse.com] and play with your settings for each print. You scale it down so print time is faster.

I printed maybe 30 of these until i found the settings that worked for my printer. As floyd said, even just using SOME of someone else's settings may not work for your setup.

Here are my main settings for .2mm layer height. Don't pay attention to first layer height, those are specific to how my bed is leveled.

I use two different profiles, one for printing on glass and one for tape (adding .15 first layer height for tape thickness)

The last screen shot showing print\speed settings...are my usual settings as well. If it's a detailed part, i'll slow it down. If it's simple shapes, i'll speed it up. Same goes for infill %. totally depends on parts.]]> Badkitty Printing Thu, 23 Apr 2015 23:13:07 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,496810,499381#msg-499381 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,496810,499381#msg-499381 Kafledelius Printing Mon, 20 Apr 2015 09:08:20 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,496810,499369#msg-499369 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,496810,499369#msg-499369 You must find out what settings you need for your printer.]]> Floyd Printing Mon, 20 Apr 2015 08:37:31 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,496810,499130#msg-499130 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,496810,499130#msg-499130 What printer Are you using?

The results i'm seeing from Cura at the moment is no where near satisfactory :S]]> Kafledelius Printing Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:30:30 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,496810,496842#msg-496842 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,496810,496842#msg-496842 I use Cura as my main slicer and Slic3r only when im feeling like messing around.
There is good and bad to both programs.]]> Floyd Printing Tue, 14 Apr 2015 14:03:56 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,496810,496810#msg-496810 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,496810,496810#msg-496810
