Hello all, I have printed almost all parts for Prusa Mendel printer using Slic3r, and I am satisfied with the results. Now I am trying to print Greg's accessible extruder body and something went wrong. My printer does very strange movements when printing the bridge for hobbed bolt hole, and all was broken (it looks like printing on air) Is there any hint for Slic3r setup to do this appropriately ? Has anyone printed this part successfully using Slic3r ? This is my *.ini file bottom_layer_speed_ratio = 0.3 bridge_flow_ratio = 1 bridge_speed = 60 duplicate_distance = 10 duplicate_x = 1 duplicate_y = 1 end_gcode = M104 S0 ; turn off temperature\nG28 X0 ; home X axis\nM84 ; disable motors extrusion_axis = E extrusion_multiplier = 1 extrusion_width_ratio = 0 filament_diameter = 2.92 fill_angle = 45 fill_density = 0.4 fill_pattern = rectilinear first_layer_height_ratio = 1 g0 = 0 gcode_arcs = 0 gcode_comments = 0 infill_every_layers = 1 infill_speed = 50 layer_height = 0.35 nozzle_diameter = 0.5 perimeter_speed = 40 perimeters = 3 print_center = 100,100 retract_before_travel = 2 retract_length = 1 retract_lift = 0 retract_restart_extra = 0 retract_speed = 7 rotate = 0 scale = 1 skirt_distance = 6 skirt_height = 1 skirts = 1 small_perimeter_speed = 30 solid_fill_pattern = rectilinear solid_infill_speed = 40 solid_layers = 3 start_gcode = G28 ; home all axes temperature = 230 travel_speed = 130 use_relative_e_distances = 0 z_offset = 0 Thank you in advance (sorry for my English) https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114342#msg-114342 Sun, 11 Oct 2026 22:22:40 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114821#msg-114821 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114821#msg-114821 TomCeeMe Slic3r Fri, 20 Jan 2012 17:07:53 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114816#msg-114816 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114816#msg-114816

The only thing I did was hack Greg's openscad file a bit because I want the idler to use m4 instead of m3......]]> TomCeeMe Slic3r Fri, 20 Jan 2012 07:39:37 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114726#msg-114726 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114726#msg-114726 arx Slic3r Fri, 20 Jan 2012 07:31:37 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114724#msg-114724 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114724#msg-114724 arx Slic3r Fri, 20 Jan 2012 06:43:23 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114718#msg-114718 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114718#msg-114718 arx Slic3r Fri, 20 Jan 2012 06:07:02 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114578#msg-114578 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114578#msg-114578 tinyenormous Slic3r Thu, 19 Jan 2012 09:10:31 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114553#msg-114553 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114553#msg-114553 But good to know that there is a version with closed holes out there!!!

I see on your pictures that the hole for hobbed bolt is built on a closed surface (on bridge). Is this a matter of stl file ? Some files are with, and some without a hole for M8 honbed bolt.]]> arx Slic3r Wed, 18 Jan 2012 07:03:16 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114375#msg-114375 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114375#msg-114375 Greg's with slic3r]]> TomCeeMe Slic3r Tue, 17 Jan 2012 23:46:53 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114348#msg-114348 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114348#msg-114348 arx Slic3r Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:24:25 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114345#msg-114345 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114345#msg-114345 I have to wait next to my printer and blow a fan on the bridge because it makes the bridge in an odd direction. If you don't get the first layer nice enough, all the subsequent layers in that spot will be weird.

I lost my first attempt at this part because of it.]]> TheIrrationalDevotion Slic3r Tue, 17 Jan 2012 17:15:15 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114342#msg-114342 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?263,114342,114342#msg-114342
