i did not print a lot yet. only a few stars / snowflakes plus the obligatory ormaxis.g and snowman.g i would really appreciate it if people could give me some hints tips how to improve print qulity (furhter). i'm especially wondering about the shift in "y-direction" obvious in the x-arm of ormaxis... thanks a lot in advance for your tips & hints! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,286693,286693#msg-286693 Sun, 11 Oct 2026 17:41:54 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,286693,286787#msg-286787 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,286693,286787#msg-286787 this thread. The test piece was "hollow dodecahedron" from thingyverse, scaled down to half size. In the end I got better results after making the following changes to the slic3r settings:

Filament: decrease temperature on 2nd and subsequent layers to 200C.

Extruder 1: increase retraction to 4mm or 5mm. I'm currently experimenting with checking "wipe during retraction".

Skirt: increase loops to 2 and distance from piece to 15mm (to make sure the filament starts flowing properly, and make it less likely that unattached bits will get in the way)]]> dc42 Ormerod Mon, 30 Dec 2013 14:40:40 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,286693,286704#msg-286704 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,286693,286704#msg-286704 Radian Ormerod Mon, 30 Dec 2013 12:06:12 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,286693,286693#msg-286693 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?340,286693,286693#msg-286693 i would really appreciate it if people could give me some hints tips how to improve print qulity (furhter). i'm especially wondering about the shift in "y-direction" obvious in the x-arm of ormaxis...
