@@The3DPrintingZone I want to watch: Unlock Crazy Cool 3D Prints by BREAKING These 4 Rules! The video sounds fun, but it is private???? If you can't let me see it can you explain the result in the image? Can I see it on another platform?

I would love more videos like this! I LOVE that you were able to cover multiple slicers and what the setting is called in each. I can't tell you how many times I've seen videos based on Prusaslicer and I have to guess or look up what Cura calls that setting. When I was new to this, it took me a good while to realize that permeters and walls were in fact the same settings in these slicers. You really second guess yourself when you're unsure about what you're doing. The traffic sign with the logos and name of the setting is a really great way to show that, A super understandable and easy to acknowledge format. Sometimes, I struggle to absorb information about slicers when I'm not familiar with the setting name in the moment.

A note regarding Number 2 (Wall Print Order) - Printing the outside wall first can have some benefits but one thing to look out for is overhangs, if you are printing a steep overhang angle without supports, and the outer wall is printed before the inner wall it often has nothing to adhere to and will simply drop causing messy overhangs. If the inner wall is printed first the outer wall that is overhanging further has something to "grab".

Absolutely! But as is covered in a number of vids, if you're using Orca or Bambu Slicers the general best setting is Inner/Outer/Inner. Gives the best of both worlds.

You're the first person I've seen that talks about the inner>outer>inner>infill order in OrcaSlicer. I find it leads to significantly better surface quality/better looking prints, without compromising the structural integrity of the part. If you're using 3 or more walls on your prints, I highly recommend using the setting. I use it on all of my prints.

dont use grid infill or other intersecting infills on smaller parts if possible. they can cause the part to be knocked over by the nozzle.

Yep grid infill lays down infill line right on top of each other like walls, which is very strong, but quick travel moves over hit can cause collision if layer height isn’t perfect or Z hop is off.

Thank you, I sometimes look at the dozens of settings that I don't understand and wonder what they do. It's nice to get some explanation.

I just love he shows but simply explains what things causes what action without too much jargon. You got my like and sub good sir👍🏻

Short and to the point for busy teachers. Would love a video highlighting the functional organizational tools in the background of your video.

Here's a quick summary of the settings: 1. Detect Thin Walls - Prevent walls not being printed due to walls being too thin. 2. Wall Printing Order (inner wall first) - Reduces shrinkadge to keep parts size accurate as possible. 3. Horizontal Expansion (Cura) or XY Size Compensation (Prusa Slicer) +-0.1 - 0.2 is a good starting point to make things fit. 4. Horizontal Hole Expansion (Cura) or XY Hole Compentsation (Prusa Slicer) +-0.1 - 0.2 is a good starting point to make things fit. 5. Z Hop (Cura) or Lift Z (Prusa Slicer) - Moves nozel up whilst travelling to avoid nozel to part collisions. 6. Retraction - Helps prevent oozing. 7. Nozel Temperature - Adjust depending on print speed, observing print quality. 8. Speed - Not too fast for silk filaments, too fast makes them matt. 9. Infill Pattern - More infill for stronger prints, less for simple prints. Enjoy :)

Yup, outer wall first -> better dimensional accuracy. Inner wall first: better for overhangs. Some slicers (like Orca) also have Inner/Outer/Inner which seems to be the best overall compromise (ref.: see Orca slicer tool tip on wall ordering)

I liked your video--very concise and informative! Great job!

External perimeters first seems to make quite a difference in dimensional stability and overall print quality, so much so that I've changed my defaults. However, a quick word of warning: be sure to evaluate your model for overhangs if you're going to use that setting. Running external first on a model that has even moderately aggressive overhangs can fail since the external perimeter will essentially be floating in mid-air without the internal perimeter (that builds off of the previous structure) to adhere to.

Great video! I already started to print and doing my own tests but this is a perfect starter video!

Great job explaining thank you!

This is very valuable considering there's not many videos that addresses so many things at once in a simple way

Great vid. New sub and looking for more. BTW. Z hop also adds a lot of time to large prints.

New printer and/or filament also start with a temp tower, orcaslicer has it built in under calibration prints. You was temps high enough for your print speed but low enough so you don’t speed days trying to get the perfect retraction settings. I have found for retraction start with the lowest distance for your setup like 0.5 for direct drive or 3mm for Bowden and play around with speeds and wipe settings first. If you can get it down to fine hair/fuzzy with speed, then slowly increase distance until gone. For silk PLA or PETG the stringing will almost never be perfect/gone, because of temps.

Saving this video, its a masterpiece!

Great vid, thanks

Nice video, thank you. Commenting for the algorithm.

Just a note for Prusa/Bambu/Orca slicer users (possible cura also). Detect thin walls will not be selectable if you are using 'Arachne' wall settings in your slicer profile.

**That being said,** but if you already use the Arachne engine then you are going to get much better quality thin walls AND thin-thick wall transitions anyway so if your slicer supports Arachne, DO NOT disable it JUST TO activate "detect thin walls" if you have another reason to choose the legacy perimeter engine, sure, go for it, arachne is not better in _every_ case, but in the overwhelming majority of use cases, thin walls are going to turn out better with Arachne

For number one, if you use Arachne as your Perimeter Generator, then Detect Thin Walls will automatically be enabled by default.

Printing outer wall 1st has a drawback when printing overhangs. So by default I print inside out. I print plenty of overhangs. Funnels and cones.

3:04 "Positive values makes the holes bigger", but the labels show the opposite: a negative value (-1.5mm) is shown under bigger holes.

Printing inner walls first also helps with the overhangs (so the external walls less likely to fall ;)

Oof, i could watch and listen to him all day.

I wanted to ask a question. Quite a few of us with Bambu are having issues with pin holes when printing signs face down on PEI textured plates. We have tried a lot of settings like Arachne infil overlap and flow etc but as of yet seem to have failed to totally fix this issue, would you have any advice on the setting to tweak I may try outer inner today to see if it fixes it great video subscribed

What is the website you showed that covers the various types of infill?

@The3DPrintingZone

10 ай бұрын

Those infill types are directly from Ultimaker, and can be found here: support.makerbot.com/s/article/1667411002588

More settings to look at are: - Print 2 or 3 infill layers at the same time saves a lot of time. Say your layer height is mall e.g. 0,08mm you can print 3x infill layers which add up to 0,24mm thus only traveling once for 3 layers - Thicker extrusions for infill, similar to the first point - Thicker extrusion width, you can extrude 0,8mm with a 0,4mm nozzle easily. This is basically my course profile for strong parts like boxes etc, this way I only print one wall of 0,8mm instead of 2x walls and save a lot of time and I don´t have to swap nozzles, you basically don´t even need a 0,6mm or 0,8mm nozzle at all, but it helps with filled filaments like GF or CF filled. - Shrinkage compensation. This is like XY compensation important on prints larger than say 50mm because material shrinks and this needs to be accounted for if you want a 200mm part to fit with some other parts. 1% shrinkae on a 200mm part is a deviation of 2mm

Subbed to help ya on to 100k.

So just like the very standard slicer settings you'd play with. Right

what about orca slicer

Something I would love to see looked at in depth is the various reasons, and solutions, for why walls separate or delaminate. I've recently run into this, mainly with TPU, but I've had it wil PLA and PETG as well and I just cannot seem to narrow down a direct cause. I've adjusted speed, temp, wall thickness, number of walls, wall printing order, flow rates...you name it but it just won't go away. It happens with any nozzle size and brand new nozzles as well. It also seems to be somewhat random where some walls bond fine but others not so much. Imagine a tube 30mm OD and 24mm ID with 3mm thick walls. With a 0.6mm nozzle that SHOULD be easy with 5 walls but with 5 walls they are clearly separate and not adhered together. If I increase the wall thickness at all, say to 0.65mm, then I only get 4 walls and the problem is worse. If I drop it down to 0.55mm thick walls I still just get 5 walls and they don't bond either. I'm baffled.

I think it's a pity that OrcaSlicer not was included

for my supports, I don't use walls I use the basic supports 0 walls zig zag supports 0.1 for how close it is to top it also cuts printing time in half

Why grid/gyroid instead of cubic?

@rueben225

3 ай бұрын

Grid and cubic infills are interference infills, and the crossing of lines by the nozzle can knock small parts over. Cubic specifically is like a closed cell infill, though it seems to use less filament. Gyroid is open cell, so the part can have heavy infill but still be completely filled with resin or whatever else, even sand, and it's generally the strongest infill. Interestingly gyroid is the quietest infill to print on my older, noisy Prusa Mk2.

Retraction doesn't pull filament out of the nozzle. It reduces the pressure inside the hotend which in turn reduces the likelihood oozing. Retraction is a somewhat complex consideration that really shouldn't just be played with like this. If you're having oozing, you should be printing retraction tuning towers, not randomly screwing with settings like this.

But if you do what this guy suggests, you'll spend all day and probably still not get it right.

@daliasprints9798

11 ай бұрын

Assuming your pressure advance is calibrated right, any further retraction does pull the filament back into the nozzle, and because the nozzle orifice is so much smaller than the filament diameter, even a tiny amount of retraction will get it all the way out of the narrow orifice. If you're retracting so much to get it out of the nozzle entirely though, that's a problem.

direct drive printers settings

Prusa, Super, and Orca all have the ability to do walls or infill first. It’s not a Bambu only thing. All of them can do different Z-hops as well. Basically Bambu forked PrusaSlicer, which long ago was a fork of Slic3r, and then went around ripping off the entire rest of the open source community and then closed sourced their software without properly attributing who and where they ripped it. They’ve done this multiple times and as recent as 4 days ago. So if Bambu has it, I can almost bet Prusa, Super, or Orca Slicer has the same settings somewhere.

I always use “reduce neck size” and “make part look less like Toby”

"Detect thin walls" is useless when used with "Arachne" on "perimeter generator" (PrusaSlicer). In fact, it's even better.

I use all of them, and most of the other settings also, like support roof density different layer heights, extrusion widths and many more on all my prints. That´s because i started printing years ago, and you had to know and use all that stuff or your prints looked bad or failed, with the NEW bambu generation, that knowledge seems to fade away in the future 😞 it was a hobby for enthusiast, becoming mainstream

the relationship between infill % and strength is super overrated. The thickness of the outer wall has a much greater influence on strength then infill. if you want robust prints, make the outer wall 2-3 mm thick. you can have your infill at 15% and this will be much stronger then 0.8mm walls with 70% i fill. stefan from cnc kitchen made a really in depth video about this and the results may be surprising to sum
