Printing small parts is extremely challenging. Use a smaller diameter nozzle if you can, Make sure you leave enough time for each layer to cool as the part prints. An easy way around that is to print the object two or more at a time and turn off island optimization. Slowing the layers down in S3D is...
Seems like a simple fix for S3D in their next patch. Need to look at the whole model, independent of the number of processes to determine raft size, or provide a means of manually controlling raft size and location.
Yeah mine used to wait until the bed and extruder were up to temperature before homing the bed (and then going on to prime and print). With V3, it homes the bed (after the bed is up to temp) and moves the nozzle into the priming position, then waits for the extruder to get to temp and then prints. S...
One thing I have noticed with printing solid walls (walls that end up not having any infill because of the number of shells and the extrusion width setting) is that it is hyper important to make sure these thicknesses are modeled as an even multiplier of the extrusion width. For example, if you are ...
+1 I would like to see a way to manually control raft size in X and Y since S3D sometimes doesn't create the raft large enough in certain special circumstances.
Generally it's best to print cylinders in groups (3 or more) and turn off island optimization. This allows more time for each layer to cool before beginning the next one. This is especially important on smaller cylinders.
That will need supports or you can alter the model so that the base is flat by dropping it to the build plate and then manually lowering the model in Z by several mm's so that the slicer will ignore what is below the build plate and will print the base as a flat surface. If you don't want to change ...
You can add top layers. Also if you increase infill percentage near the top surfact that will help. You can achieve this using multiple processes and using the the start and stop layer commands in the process to define the different infill % at specific locations in the model. Also increasing overla...
I was excited to see this feature but they don't have a profile for the Taz 5 with dual extruder option yet, just the stock single. So I will still have to set it up manually.
