Eiffel Tower on Tantillus November 23, 2012 03:46AM |
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)
