Re: What do you do when the edges have little blobs? - 12 years ago

I've tried the new version of Slic3r (0.9.8) and I have to say that it prints better than previous one, but blobs don't disappear. I made a test where I was changing retraction length and then extrusion width and got interesting results. The three wall sides (that you can't see on the picture) are nice. Only one side is affected. If anyone knows or have some idea how to remove the blobs, pleas

Bridge perimeter speed - 12 years ago

Hi! I've tried to print small bridge (just 2 cubes with another lying on them). I set bridge speed to 200 mm/s (perimeters to 30 mm/s) in Slic3r 0.9.7. I would expect that all lines in the air are printed in 200 mm/s, but perimeters are printed slowly, perhaps in 30 mm/s (I can't say if it is perimeter speed). The first two lines of bridge perimeter fall down and several next lines printed in 20

Re: printing issues - 12 years ago

I was playing with the values. With lower temp (180°C hotend, 60°C bed), 0.14 layer height and also lower speed 30mm/s I got much better results, but still there are some problems... The thing is oozebane test from here. 1. Walls are not straight. 2. Wall gabs. 3. Solid infills are not solid on top of the columns although the middle part of the thing has nice solid infill. 4. The first layer li

Re: Mendel Max: Has anyone tried to print the tree? - 12 years ago

I switched to new version of Slic3r 0.9.7 and changed the following values: Slic3r settings: Layer height: 0.14 Perimeters (minimum): 1 Solid Layers :Top 2, Bottom: 1 Fill density: 0.3 Temperature: 180°C Bed temperature: 60°C It got better, but there are still problems with the branches. I can't go lower with the bed temp. because objects do not stick well on the bed even at 60 deg. Not sure

Re: Slic3r version .071 error - 12 years ago

I got similar error. Argument "\x35\x30..." isn't numeric in multiplication (*) at Slic3r\lib\std\Slic3r\GCode.pm line 387. I found out that it was caused by value "20mm/s" written in the "Modifiers: First layer speed" field in "Advanced" tab. I changed it to "50%" and the error was gone. I think it is a bug and should be fixed. Mainly because the text says that there can be "mm/s or %"

Mendel Max: Has anyone tried to print the tree? - 12 years ago

Hi all, I tried to print this tree. Exactly the stl file, but without success I would say. Is there anyone who already printed it? What are your experiences / settings? My attempt was done with the following settings: Printer: Mendel Max 1.5 Material: PLA Slic3r settings: Layer height: 0.15 Perimeters: 3 Solid Layers: 3 Fill density: 0.4 Fill angle: 45° Fill pattern: rectilinear Retraction: 5

printing issues - 12 years ago

Hi! I've printed several things and got some issues. I'd like to ask if you know what causes it and what I can do for better printing....look at the picture please. 1. Bumpy wall 2. Inflated corners 3. Dotted first layer 4. Dashed first layer 5. Lines fused together for small diameters Configuration: Marlin, Printer Interface, Slic3r: Layer height: 0.21, Perimeters: 3, Solid Layers: 3, Fill D

Well, I don't understand print mechanism in details but according the comparing Ultimaker can print at 40 microns. This is an order of magnitude less.

Re: Quality of MendelMax vs Ultimaker - 12 years ago

So, what is the conclusion on that? Is the Mendel Max 1.5+ better in quality than Ultimaker? We know that it's cheaper. I've seen many photos of Ultimaker prints and they are just great. However, Mendel Max prints were not so good. Therefore I personaly think that Ultimaker prints better. Here are some of the Ultimaker prints: Ultimaker print 1 Ultimaker print 2 Ultimaker print 3 Mendel Max p
