  1. I was wondering why use 33% infill? There is no structural strength needed, so wouldn't an infill of 10 or 15% be enough? Or is there some magical anti-warping or surface quality considerations involved?

     

    I used 33% infill because I was testing PLA materiaal and deliberately wanted to use a lot of fillament. But you are right you could print this with a lot less infill, it might even be posible to print this model hollow.

  2. I've been using this model to test freshly made experimental PLA fillament. This was sliced with kisslicer at 0.16 mm with 33% infill. Takes about 3,5 hours to print.

    I've seen those colors before, did your red also contain some black spots in the filament on the roll?

    Hi Daid, yes it did. Printed fine though, I was a little worried it might clog the nozzle but no such thing happened. Have you printed with the material?

     

    That is a sweet model. Think I'll have to print it just because it's cool :) (then look at it for five minutes before dumping it into the bag of random stuff never to be seen again :p ).

    Haha, that's a very familiar scenario. I have three bags right now, but its cool because it shows the quality of prints 1,5 years ago when retraction didn't exist, nor did cura or kisslicer. Lots has changed!

  3. Oke, so I wasn't patient enough and tried the push off routine with the not working 'M190 S35' command, and it worked! At least for this particular print it will work. Still I would like to make a push off routine with a working M190 command. Any help is appreciated!

    Here's a video of the routine:

     

  4. Look into the marlin source code, in one of the configuration files is a line with WAIT_FOR_COOLDOWN false, and change that to true, this should help

    Hi Joergen,

    I was able to find the following pieces of code:

    In the configuration_adv.h file

     

    // Wait for Cooldown// This defines if the M109 call should not block if it is cooling down.// example: From a current temp of 220, you set M109 S200. // if CooldownNoWait is defined M109 will not wait for the cooldown to finish#define CooldownNoWait true

     

    In the Marlin_main.cpp file

     

    case 190: // M190 - Wait for bed heater to reach target.   #if TEMP_BED_PIN > -1       LCD_MESSAGEPGM(MSG_BED_HEATING);       if (code_seen('S')) setTargetBed(code_value());       codenum = millis();        while(isHeatingBed())        {         if(( millis() - codenum) > 1000 ) //Print Temp Reading every 1 second while heating up.         {           float tt=degHotend(active_extruder);           SERIAL_PROTOCOLPGM("T:");           SERIAL_PROTOCOL(tt);           SERIAL_PROTOCOLPGM(" E:");           SERIAL_PROTOCOL((int)active_extruder);            SERIAL_PROTOCOLPGM(" B:");           SERIAL_PROTOCOL_F(degBed(),1);            SERIAL_PROTOCOLLN("");            codenum = millis();          }         manage_heater();         manage_inactivity();         lcd_update();       }       LCD_MESSAGEPGM(MSG_BED_DONE);       previous_millis_cmd = millis();   #endif       break;

     

    I dit not find an exact 'WAIT_FOR_COOLDOWN false' line. I'm not sure if I have been looking at the correct version of marlin, github is new for me. I looked at this version of Daid:

    https://github.com/daid/Marlin/tree/Marlin_v1/Marlin

    The "#define CooldownNoWait true" seems a bit similar to what you were suggesting accept that it is used for M109 and nog M190.

  5. I think an heated bed would make it easier to push off parts, not harder. You can use M190 to cool down and wait for the heated bed.

    I've been working on a push off routine for my HBP. Within a month or so I expect to be making a lot of the same model, so I really need to get this working. The push off routine looks like this after the print is ready:

     

    G1 F4500		; set feedrate 4500G28 X0 Y0 Z0		; home all axisG0 Z4			; lower platform by 4mmM104 S120		; keep extruder warmM190 S35		; wait for HBP temp to reach 35CM107			; turn off fanG0 Y200			; go to Y 200 				G0 X150			; go to X 150					G0 Z2 F180		; raise platform 2mmG1 F4500		; set push-off feedrateG0 YO			; push off moveG28 X0 Y0 Z0		; home all axisG92 X0 Y0 Z0 E0		; reset software position to front/left/z=0.0G0 Z15 F180		; lower platform 15mmM190 S55		; wait for HBP temp to reach 55CM109 S210		; wait for extruder temp to reach 210G92 E0			; zero extruded lengthG1 F200 E5		; extrude 5mmG92 E0			; zero extruded length

     

    When testing this I noticed that the M190 S35 does not work when the current HBP temp is 55 C, it continues immediately with the next command. However when the HBP temp is lower then 35 C it does work and waits until the temperature is reached.

    Is it true I can't use a M190 to wait for the temperature to drop below a certain value?

    Is there a work around?

  6. This is my latest print with KISSlicer.

    I like this slicer and the generated support structure works great. There are some strange pronounced layers, not sure why this happened. Anyway I'll continue printing with KISSlicer for support models, but for the other stuf I still like Cura best. Especially the project planner :)

  7. Looks really nice Daid. I like that you renamed the parameters into understandable terms that actually tell the user something of the effect it will have on the print. The information is also nicely framed in the various tabs.

    In the normal SF when lowering or increasing the layerheigt I needed to adjust 'perimeter over width' in carve and fill tab and ofcourse the amount of solid layers. Since perimeter over width is gone what other parameters need attention in SkeinPyPy when changing the layerheight? Only the solid layers?

    I'm asking because the print I did yesterday was at 0.3 mm layerheight. I noticed in the end that the printed lines could have been squashed out a bit more. What should I do in this case? increase the edge width?

  8. Hi Daid and everyone,

    This is great! I just started using SkeinPyPy and Printrun and works perfect. Moving from replicator G to standalone SF used to be quite daunting, but this software package makes it so easy!

    I just finished an 8 hour print and it went fine. I do have some questions about a few settings. You mentioned that "Perimeter width over thickness (ratio)" is changed into "Perimeter width", but I can't find it anywhere in SF48. Is this setting gone? Or has the name been changed again?

    PrintRun does not support live tuning right?

    Cheers,

  9. Is this just a big demo of the various 3D printing techs or could this perhaps be a good chance to nab some cheap PLA/ABS?

    I don't think you can buy PLA or ABS at this event, but perhaps the exhibitors will be able to help to get in contact with some providers. The event is more of a big demo of commercial companies and there printers, but this is the first year that there will be attention for 3d printing at home.

  10. I posted a message yesterday in the ultimaker groups about an upcoming 3d printing event. In order to reach all 3d printing enthusiast I thought it might be smart to post a message at this forum as well.

     

    Hello everyone,

    I wanted to share an upcoming 3d printing event, Rapid Pro. It will be held 25th and 26th of January at the NH Conference Centre Koningshof in Veldhoven the Netherlands.

    http://www.rapidpro.nl/

     

    I have been told the guys from Ultimaker will be there with a lot of Ultimakers. I will be there with a green Ultimaker on behalf of Mikrocentrum, the company responsible for organizing RapidPro. It is a

    good opportunity to see all sorts of 3d printing techniques, attend lectures on various subjects related to rapid manufacturing and of course to meet up. Should be interesting to see the ‘at home printers’ next to the commercial types.

    There is no entry fee, free of charge.

    Gijs
