Topic: Slic3r settings

What are the slic3r settings you use for the DaVinci 1.0. I can't seem to get mine just right.

Re: Slic3r settings

Would it not depend on what size your printing? The standard setting are okay I have found only slight changes to temps for larger models and that's it really

Re: Slic3r settings

I could never get to grips with the slic3r speed settings, always seemed too fast no matter what settings I used.
I gave up on it and mostly use Cura now, much easier to work with.

Re: Slic3r settings

These are fairly typical settings I use. You may need to go a bit slower for small prints.

Re: Slic3r settings

That looks pretty small. Try reducing the speed to about 15mm/s.
You might also need to use a layer fan.
If it still isn't right, drop the speed again.

Re: Slic3r settings

Ok so I tried lowering the speed to 15mm/s it came out pretty much the same I took a video to show what is happening. It looks like it is moving the plastic around after it lays it down. Have a look here. http://youtu.be/5TrSMpk6Hzg

Re: Slic3r settings

I just changed the resolution from .1mm to .3mm and it is MUCH better. What settings do you use for .1mm (if you have any)

Re: Slic3r settings

Have you used the manual calibration method?? If its moving the layers it may be slightly off I know that happened to me

Re: Slic3r settings

I don't use any special settings for 0.1mm.
That still looks a bit fast for a print as small as that. Did you reduce the travel speed too ?
There's another trick you can try with small prints. Print 2 or more of the same file.
That'll give the layers more time to cool and should give better results.
Or like I said before, use a fan to cool the layers as they print.
It looks like the layers in your print are being moved around as they haven't had time to cool and are still soft.
