Topic: Pink Panther Women - .3mm & .1mm
Software: Repetier-Host-Mac .51 / slic3r .97
Profile: Tweaked official solidoodle .1mm
Model: Pink Panther Women
Filament: Solidoodle natural
.75 scale .1mm - 9hr 15min - 5 Shells, 0% infill
.75 scale .3mm - 2hr 40min - 4 shells, 0% infill (not enough shells!)
Those 2 were ~4" in height.
.25 scale .1mm - 2+ hrs, lost platform adhesion during print
.45 scale .3mm - Under 2 hours
Setup:
Glass bed + hairspray
No cooling fan
I was tired of printing geometric objects and yodas for testing, so I found this great test print on thinigiverse. This print can be a bit tricky around the right armpit, neck and upper chest. Above the chest the layers get real thin even with 5 shells. 6 shells would probably be best. I used an 8mm brim as well, probably overkill? I love how easy brims are to remove! When I first got my printer I was using rafts and they are such a pain to remove/sand down.
Came home to this one. Print down!
This failure didn't break my spirit. I moved my model to the front right of the bed since they seem to be loosing adhesion in the center (guess I have more bed leveling to do!). I then reprinted this over night at the .75 scale, my longest print yet!
I woke up to this:
Looks good, but 9hours is crazy! There was some alignment or slic3r issues on her right thigh at the begining, but it recouped on its own.
How does a .3mm look:
Not enough shells, and I had slic3r set to not add perimeters when needed. I want to reprint the .3mm with another shell and then test this print out in the acetone vapor smoothing station.
Any ideas to minimize the visible banding?
