Re: Behavior of the first layer

I'm not sure if the g code preview shows underextrusion. This is the first layer at 20% (0,20mm regular layer height) shown from the side: layer_20percent.jpg This is the same view with a first layer height of 80%: layer_80percent.jpg As you can see the preview always draws preview lines with a cert...

Re: First layer differences between ABS and PLA

Try preheating the bed to the temperature you're usually using for PLA. Let it warm up a few minutes (5-10 at least). Have a look at the distance nozzle/bed. Now up the temperature to what you're using for ABS and wait another 5-10 minutes. Does the distance change? On my printer even the difference...

Re: Behavior of the first layer

Not really an explanation - but what kind of nozzle are you using? If it's a 0,35 or 0,40 nozzle then 200% layer height at 0,20 layer thickness is not within the recommended ratio (typically layer height is a maximum of 80% of the nozzle diameter). The flashforge dreamer seems to come with 0,4 nozzl...

Re: Missing layers after prepare for print?

btw: You will see the same problem on plenty of other meshes. Especially figurines, where sometimes the
people export the whole body mesh with teeth and tongue... although the mouth is closed. Same problem
on a littler smaller scale.

Re: Missing layers after prepare for print?

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words :) This is the multi-part STL you're trying to print. The slicer knows the window frame and the surrounding wall are different objects, each with it's own outer shell. But there is no gap/spacing defined between them. And even if the slicer could handle ...

Re: Missing layers after prepare for print?

I don't know what the multipart-complete file is there for. But have a look at this: http://www.3dbenchy.com/3dbenchy-for-dual-and-multi-part-color-3d-printing/ The one you're trying to print is all of those 17 objects together in one file. But that means it has a lot of walls very close to each oth...

Re: Missing layers after prepare for print?

Are you setting up a multi color print or why are you using the multipart model? Does the other model (3dbenchy.stl) slice correctly? Try the option to "Merge all outlines into a single solid model". You will find this under "Slicing Behavior", which is located on the "Advan...
