Eiffel Tower on Tantillus I had to give the Eiffel tower a go on Tantillus. It was not the easiest thing to fit in 100mm^3 and have the small details like the railings printable. To do this I scaled it to 420mm tall and then sliced the model into 5 sections vertically. This left the bottom section too wide to fit in the build area so I had to slice it again into 4 parts for a total of 8 parts. The next problem was I was using a Tantillus with a 0.5mm nozzle and the railings were too small to slice with the KISSlicer 0.5mm profiles. This meant I had to fudge things and use the 0.4mm profile which means it was printing a path narrower than the nozzles orifice which results in poor layer alignment. For all of this though the print turned out really nice and is one of my favorite prints yet. Files: STL's STL sliced for 100mm^3 build area. Gcode Gcode sliced for 0.4mm nozzle using Kisslicer 1.1.0a2 If you would like to try it using a 0.5mm or even a 0.35mm nozzle the above Gcode should work as long as you open the file and change the Z offset (line that says G92 Z0. something at the begging of the Gcode) Eiffel.resized.JPG mod_embed_images_loadimage('1e938d6a43ebaa4d5ddaea48a5614212', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?279,module=embed_images,url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.Tantillus.org%2FImages%2FEiffel.resized.JPG', 'http://www.Tantillus.org/Images/Eiffel.resized.JPG', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?279,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.Tantillus.org%2FImages%2FEiffel.resized.JPG', '', 167684, 800, 400, 'Loading image ...', false); https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,167684#msg-167684 Mon, 09 Mar 2026 14:15:20 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,169109#msg-169109 Re: Eiffel Tower on Tantillus https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,169109#msg-169109 I so have to try it!

You should have a top 10 insane/epic Tantillus prints page on your website for this sort of stuff!]]> willworkforplastic Tantillus Sat, 01 Dec 2012 05:13:31 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,168864#msg-168864 Re: Eiffel Tower on Tantillus https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,168864#msg-168864 ernchesto Tantillus Thu, 29 Nov 2012 14:33:31 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,168744#msg-168744 Re: Eiffel Tower on Tantillus https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,168744#msg-168744 Eric Young Tantillus Wed, 28 Nov 2012 19:07:43 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,167776#msg-167776 Re: Eiffel Tower on Tantillus https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,167776#msg-167776 johnbiehler Tantillus Fri, 23 Nov 2012 11:37:11 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,167752#msg-167752 Re: Eiffel Tower on Tantillus https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,167752#msg-167752 ernchesto Tantillus Fri, 23 Nov 2012 09:36:10 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,167703#msg-167703 Re: Eiffel Tower on Tantillus https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,167703#msg-167703 Sublime Tantillus Fri, 23 Nov 2012 04:57:58 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,167699#msg-167699 Re: Eiffel Tower on Tantillus https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,167699#msg-167699
I should also say to use the Kisslicer Gcode you should recalibrate your Extruder using the 5D method of making the filament move 100mm when requested (I have a firmware update coming with easy calibration). You may also need to manually change the temperature after the first layer to suit your filament.]]> Sublime Tantillus Fri, 23 Nov 2012 04:50:45 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,167697#msg-167697 Re: Eiffel Tower on Tantillus https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,167697#msg-167697 Robots-Dreams Tantillus Fri, 23 Nov 2012 04:41:04 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,167684#msg-167684 Eiffel Tower on Tantillus https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?279,167684,167684#msg-167684

If you would like to try it using a 0.5mm or even a 0.35mm nozzle the above Gcode should work as long as you open the file and change the Z offset (line that says G92 Z0. something at the begging of the Gcode)
