With a little bit of luck the print finished in one piece.
Oh Boy! This torture test has nasty overhangs!
I had wipe and coast enabled and together with a negative restart distance they all lead to underextrusion at the top of the print where the Robox hops between numerous small islands.
The zits visible at the orb on the bridge fence are extruded when the needle valve closes.
I don’t like coast and I don’t like wipe. If possible I would perfer to solve the zits with a proper retraction before the neddle valve closes.
@click: What are the retraction values you currently use in Slic3r?
Step by step the print quality of the 0,3 mm nozzle is improving.
I switched over to a positive extra retraction distance of 0,2 mm and increased retraction speed and retraction distance a bit.
@simon: I would appreciate to switch over to the dual material head to get in sync with the slic3r team.
You mentioned a fff profile for the dual material head in one of your posts. Do you have a working profile for the dual material that you can share?
I will do some more prints with the quickfill head to dial in the 0,8 mm nozzle. When the settings for the quickfill head reach an acceptable quality level I would like to post a modified fff for the quickfill head here in this forum. Would this be OK for you and your contact at Simplify3D?
@benraay: Your little torture test was very helpful to tune in the slicer settings.
Simplify3D is now producing a comparable if not better print quality than Automaker.
Left is Automaker 3.0.0 - Right is Simplify3D 3.1.1
And this is the little torture test printed with the 0,8 mm nozzle at 0,2 mm layer height.
I am astonished how well the large nozzle printed the tiny spikes.
Next on my to do list are combined prints with the 0,3 mm and the 0,8 mm nozzle.
@enginwiz It looks fantastic! Well done!
Just another comparison, this isn’t Simplify3D but it does show what’s possible just by changing the slicing engine:
Compulsive tinkerer
It would surely be worth Cel and S3D putting the joint effort in to getting official compatibility, the support and raft creation, level of detailed control available and versatility of S3D can’t be beaten.
AM is great when you are a new or basic level user but as soon as your skills advance beyond it gets frustrating, you basically aren’t able to use what is a great base machine to its full potential
Nice print!
The Robox is a a fantastic printer. It really deserves an up-to-date slicer or even better a whole bunch of them.
Simplify3D will publish a major software update during the next weeks.
With the current version 3.1.1 I have some problems when I try to use the 0,3 mm nozzle for perimeters and the 0,8 mm nozzle for infill. Testing will resume when the next version of Simplify3D is out.
@enginwiz @simonhoult I know this is noise, but thank you for your efforts.
@saiken I’ve not really done anything but thanks anyway.
