A cube 35x35x12 mm in solid ABS (100% infill) . Can you beat this?by sliceheart - Printing
ABS extrusion temp has hardly any effect on shrinkage. All you need to get is a good adhesion to bed that's not so easy with ABS. Room temperature is also important, but not as important. I've been able to print solid ABS with a thickness of 4 mm without any enclosure, and got my bed broken because so good adhesion i got. But that was with the resin Elix ABS HI. I don't know of a filament makerby sliceheart - Printing
Coast is also a great thing, but not the same. I use it with simplify3D, works well but some materials print better with the slowing trick.by sliceheart - General
I have been using Kisslicer lately and have notice that reduces the feedrate at the end of the external perimeter. A great thing I think, there is a way to do in Slic3r, Cura or Simplify3D?by sliceheart - General
All you say is true. You must use the nozzle size that has no oozing, and not less than 50% of size, so no more worries.by sliceheart - General
Better dress your extruder with a ghost blanket, works pretty well.by sliceheart - General
I´m printing with bowden and chimera supported prints with no problem. It´s just the waste of time and support material, so if there is a cheaper way (glue or similar) I choose it.by sliceheart - General
Thanks for asking it. I didn´t know about filament custom G-code. I think filament custom G-code must be for multimaterial and aplied when there is a change of filament, but I haven´t used it so lets hope someone can confirm this.by sliceheart - Slic3r
I have found the Tommullholland topic "Source code change - dual extrusion" for the extrusor ordering, I will try if this change can help me.by sliceheart - Slic3r
I don´t see erratic movements. I think you print too fast for those little segments, imperfections build up in the turning points causing high pressure in the thicker points and blobs in the thinners. Make more perimeteres to avoid little segments.or concentric top/bottom. Better is top solid infill 25 mm/s.by sliceheart - Slic3r
I want to prime all the layers and do it when the first extruder has finished printing the current layer and the second extruder starts to do his printing. I ´ve tried to print a prime tower as a first or second part but the extruder doesn´t follow the ordinal number, it makes 1-2-2-1 printing the nearest part. I also have tried custom output (start, tool change, end ...) without sucess.by sliceheart - Slic3r
I still don´t know how to prime the second extruder just before it prints the support. The first extruder gets primed well doing the skirt in oozing prevention. Any help?by sliceheart - Slic3r
I know in oozing prevention a skirt is generated for each extruder, but after a skirt is done I want the extruder to print the whole layer and not to change extruder and print the other skirt. Someone know how to do it?by sliceheart - Slic3r
Is the PVA filament of any value as support? I have not seen a filament that adheres enough on PVA so that it can be printed with this support. Maybe someone knows one and can share with us.by sliceheart - Printing
You can cook (annealing in plastic industry) your filament for 6-12 hours at 40-60 ºC in order to get a harder filament and maybe your extruder will do fine. Try first with just one meter or so.by sliceheart - Printing
I´ve checked the slicer behaviour with raft and the layer thickness is always 0.3 mm. This layer heght is too much for my filament-extruder but I can´t change it. Just I can´t use raft Help! I need somebodyby sliceheart - Slic3r
I have explained the error the bad way. Checking the Gcode the second layer in Z is 0.6 mm when it should be 0.4 mm, so Slic3r 1.2.9 is wrong.by sliceheart - Slic3r
When I make raft with two extruders the support extruder goes 0.6 mm in Z instead of 0.4 mm and later this behaviour continues. I have read Gcode and is correct, slicer doesn´t use layer thicness. With this Z the raft is ruined, ¿can I make something?by sliceheart - Slic3r
You can extrude high temperature filament with an allmetal extruder, that is not a problem. Also you can get not very expensive Ultem filament. However you will not have success only with these because printing with high temperature filaments require a very hot printing surface and I don´t know how to get there. I know that even at 90 ºC doesn´t work ( 300 to know this was the price). I also loby sliceheart - General
PLA easily jams bowden extruder due to retraction. Use 0 mm to try and then find a better one.by sliceheart - General
If small is OK then the bed is not leveledby sliceheart - Printing
I´m printing a part that is like a pipe with nose. When the extruder starts to print the nose travels outside the perimeter and because oozing the printing is ruined. I have tried with seam position (nearest, random and aligned) but slic3r persists in travelling outside perimeter with no needing. I have switched to Cura and the part prints good because there is no such travelling. What can I chaby sliceheart - Slic3r
When you dry with temperature you make two things: - Remove water (obvious) - Crystallize the polymer These two bring a plastic with higher resistance to flow. Water acts as a plasticizer and you have to melt the new crystals to get flow.by sliceheart - Printing
I run 1.75 filament of PLA in my 3 mm bowden printer, and works very well. Nothing as smooth and thermal insulator as air. Not useful for 1.75 mm printers.by sliceheart - General
You can also print a beam that fits on the overhang and place it with a little bit of adhesive just before the first unsupported layer prints. This way you can get a cleaner print.by sliceheart - General
Better than talcum a high aspect ratio filler like glass. Also increasing crystallization is good, talcum can help but it depends on how slow cools the polymer and there must be better options. Another one is to branch the polymer or blend it with another one.by sliceheart - Polymer Working Group
I am sorry to tell you that FTIR is very bad for quantitative analysis. Besides ATR is useless because there is not light path using it.by sliceheart - Polymer Working Group
