How? can you show me?
-
Thank you. However, the video shows that different infill pattern is applied to two different objects. I am saying one object. Cut an object into several sections and apply different infill patterns. Simplify3D can do that. I am wondering if Cura is able to do either.
-
Thanks for your answer, quorneng. You said "However I for one could certainly make use different infill patterns and densities for different parts of the same object!" is it possible in cura? How? Can you explain more details?
-
Thank you gr5. I have a question about CURA. As you know, Simplify3D allows users to apply different infill patterns to individual sections of one part. Does Cura have the same function?
-
Thank you gr5. My focus is tool-path. What's the infill pattern? If I select zig-zag pattern and the width of plywood is bigger than nozzle diameter, tool-path would be like the right side in the figure above. I want to make the tool-path like the left side as shown in figure.
-
Thank you for your answer. I understand the plan. If the rectangular holes are considered as cutting gap (0.01mm), what's the thickness of remaining plywood? Are they extruder nozzle diameter?
-
gr5 thank you for your answer. I am little bit confused. If you can, could you explain it with some figures?
-
Thanks for your answer. But there are many reports that shorts carbon fiber products exhibit anisotropic material properties depending on printing directions. If continuous fiber filaments show 100% orientation, short carbon fiber filaments show 91%, not random orientation.
-
Thank you gr5. My goal is "to control stress direction". The material is carbon-fiber filament. I want to control fiber orientation. The only option to solve this problem is to divide section and apply different infill patterns. However, since the infill option is very limited, (eg : lines, concentric, etc). I can't design the tool-path as exactly what I want. I am currently looking for a slicer software to achieve custom infill pattern, tool-path. Any idea would be appreciated.

Thanks Kcel, Can you introduce me any software tools to model custom infill?

I am working on carbon fiber reinforced filament. I want to make my own customized infill to make the part more stiff. Default infill patterns of Cura such as "line", "zig-zag", and "concentrated" can't achieve patterns as shown in the figure below. Do you have any idea for that?

I am working on spur gear. I want to divide the gear into several parts. Then, different infill patterns were applied to individual parts. Lastly, I want to merge the parts together keeping the different infill patterns Can any experts help me? I have trouble in the last step.

Hello, I want to print one part with different infill pattern sections. Can I apply print different profiles to individual parts ?

Thanks for your reply. I installed it and am working on step 6 calibration. How to check if Mark 2 board works?
-
Hi Mark 2 team, I have installed Mark 2 board for wiring. Now I am working on step 6 calibration. The issue is 'nozzle 2' doesn't shows up in 'dual extrusion' mode. It seems my printer Ultimaker 2+ failed to recognize second extruder. I am new to electronic assembly. AWG 18 PTFE wire was cut into two pieces and connect between Mark 2 board and main board. Is it correct? Is there any other possible reason? Additionally, for feeding motor wire, how to connect it? I just used extra spot but I am not sure if this is correct.
