I always love seeing the Hilbert curve in slicers for infill. I can’t say I know of a more satisfying tool path to watch.

I would love to see that donut remixed with the threads on top and the sleeve on the bottom, that way your contents don't get crushed or displaced when you screw the top on.

CURA 'per-part printer settings'. Divide your model into functional parts; each part is assigned different printer settings. The only 'catch' is needing to use the same layer height and hot-end temp for all parts of the model. It will print as a single model. Example: a long tube with end-closures printed as a single thing. Print it vertically: The first closure is printed in 'detailed mode, two perimeters with dense infill, on a raft, support everywhere, default thickness'. The tubular section is printed in 'vase mode, no infill, single perimeter, 0.7mm wall thickness'. The second closure is printed in detailed mode, two perimeters with dense infill, no support, default thickness' There are at least two ways to divide the model: 1) Cut it up in CAD, export each piece, load them into CURA, position the parts, assign print settings to each part. Tedious, but it works. 2) Load the complete model into CURA, then use the 'box selection tool' to assign print settings to each part of the model. A little less accurate, but a lot easier. CURA preview after slicing verifies the correct settings are applied in the right places.

@adrianmenzel1532

Those kinds of settings will only be helpful if yo u use them yourself. Most people take only the stl from Printables/Thingiverse/Thangs and slice them themselves (because they have a different Slicer, Material, Printer, Nozzle Diameter, ...) and tricks like this will just automatically be picked up by any slicer without extra configuration.

As a beginner with my first printer, these are some golden tips. I have background in industrial design but no real skills or knowledge engineering, apart from what I've got from school, so these are really useful things to know. I did not realize one can print chains in place!

0:52 or you could do an extra wall using cura "modify setting for overlaps" to change the wall and in fill, settings to create an extra wall inside the object without cutting the original model.

If you want your part to be stronger, add extra perimeters on the outside. The further away your material is from the center of gravity, the stronger your part.

@koitk

Жыл бұрын

It's kind of true only for a sub section of cases. For example if your part is under simple compression or tension forces it doesn't matter where the material is, only matters how much material is in cross-sectional area. If the part is under bending then it is sort of true, but what you are referring is moment of inertia. Also center of gravity also is only half true, the moment of inertia is defined over geometric center (geometric center of a area not center of mass ). So the geometric center is in same location with center of gravity if the volume of the part is uniform density 3D prints may be uniform but mostly are not due to wall layering and infill etc. So having more perimeters doesn't always make things better, it does only in some cases. One kind of needs to understand how the forces are acting on part to make it stronger. There's also a difference between making part just stronger of making it stronger while retaining original weight.

I actually doubt this. Because for bending stress the extra material at the center does not make a great difference. Thats why H-shaped bar is used alot in construction: it is much lighter than solid bar but hadle compareble load. Same here. If you want stronger part you need extra material at perimeters (extra perimeters) bot not in the center.

@@dmitrynuzhdin the tip is generalizable to being able to add additional strength and support (via perimeter generation vs infill) anywhere in a model. The youtube clip confused the issue by showing the support being add to the center of a cylinder, a place that typically doesn't need additional support, but the Voron Stealthburner uses this trick in it's design to add additional reinforcement/rigidity in key structural places.

Woooow so sympathic, there was some questions I had and nobody answer me and you juste gived me all answers I need 😊

I don't even 3d print but I love watching these. Good stuff!

A note on the pinhole: in that scenario, the extra material is doing very little for you in most cases. For a lot of the stresses you deal with, focusing on the shell/wall will be the best use of material. For most people: just increase walls and infill unless you know what you are doing. If you want to learn more, look up basic “strength of materials” or “mechanical engineering design” courses, there are some decent intro courses on YT.

@tyrzxv

Exactly. With the pinhole, he's just basically trying to create more infill, but the problem is that it's only centralized, so unless you know exactly the stress load is exactly in that pinhole area, you are much better off with thicker shell, and/or simply more infill %

The "print in place live hinge" is not a live hinge. It's a hinge, sure, but "live hinge" refers to a flexure, a single part that bends in a specific location.

Great tips!

For strength, you can actually cheat better than digging a hole into it. When you extrude down, create a new component, made it solid. Load the Components in together, select the second component and set it to a desired infill, keep the other component at the lower infill. In a cylinder you can do this in alternating rings, or you can generate extra thick walls around certain holes if they are being utilized for thread inserts or have a rod running through them that will apply torque or tension to the body of the hole. Yours definitely has the benefit of being quick and easy though. No extra work involved.

Very cool!

good tip! This is a helpful way of making c clamps for axles.

Not saying some of these tips aren’t helpful for beginners, but this is printing 101, doesn’t get more basic than that. You don’t even specify wether your (way too big) 0.4mm clearance is for radius or circumference. Your little cube has now no structural integrity whatsoever, this is probably the worst option to optimise print time you could’ve suggested. Lastly, if your method of securing a box together (beginning of the video) is with threads and 3d printed Nuts, I hope no one, ever buys your „masterclass“ on designing. There are soo many ways to achieve the same thing, but seamlessly and invisible, without adding 16 atrocious looking balls to the outside of your print. Suggest mold-in Inserts, properly tuned latching mechanisms or in-Part nuts/magnets with a pause in your G-Code. Still very basic techniques but at least somewhat presentable

You just need 1 cad software. Like inventor or solidworks. And one free modelling like blender. Then you can do whatever you want with internet tutorials and inventive.
