Tried to make the file much smaller so I can experiment more with the settings but now the slicing fails every time!

Any ideas?

 

I have been using 3d Printers since the 90’s

in the Automotive & Aerospace industries!

Here is a Stainless steel watch strap example I have had since 2009 it has a wall thickness of 0.15mm is extremely strong & there is no assembly it was printed in one go, fully functional.

This is the SLS technique & is no desktop machine.

from what I have…[Read more]

Everything is working well until it gets to sat 5-7mm high then it all goes to pot.

Wall thickness is .59 mm

The profile is being followed up to 5-7mm in z then it goes to pot!

infill & support are also off so not sure why it has put 1 layer of support onto a finished layer ( honeycomb) etc.

 

 

Problems tend to be cant get a print unless you use a brim of 3mm minimum the edges curl & catch the nozzle.

When you have a large base that warrants not having a brim because the side/ external detail is intricate & will take a ling time to clean.

After about 4mm in z build the section starts to go strangedue to the build sequence not following…[Read more]

Hi Dave

Using Automaker custom settings, getting better results, but still needs work far from great or usable!

From the settings below can you see anything I should change from your experience that will help?

Hi Dave

Are these the setting you use with Cura 14.12.1 on your Robox?

 

Curious as still not getting great results!

Tried those settings but after the first layer it starts shooting back and forth do a bit here & there rather than following the profile like you would expect & as a result it just breaks the layer off.

There is no support structure that was turned off brim is 5mm was going to post a video but it’s a bit big for 6 seconds 19mb

anyway why…[Read more]

Nice one Dave!

 

Sorry new to this what am I looking for?

slicer’s gift! in gcode!

I noticed also about 3/4 through I get an offset or step in the x,y plane also starts blobbing etc..

Any ideas what causes this? This was done on draft quality!

Hi Dave

tweaked the settings , I don’t think my bed has been getting hot enough, also reset the head nozzle, as I took it off to clean after a bad print got material everywhere.

All cleaned, re-calibrated many times etc.

How did you get the honey comb effect? on your parts?

So do they use a support structure of wax?

Great stuff Dave!

 

I have not been able to get any good prints off mine, had it 3 months very disappointed.

Support have offered to take it back & check it but said will give it another 2 weeks tinkering with the settings else it will go back!

One of my main issues is one of the nozzles catches the layer as it passes over & breaks it free.

Hi Guy’s

I have the same issue PEI bed was wrongly installed, so must have been like that for a while as it has set it self in a bowed state as a result.

If both sides are the same then I have turned the bed over which help somewhat but that means the edges are higher than the canter now slightly!

My main issue is getting the first layer to…[Read more]
