-20 and -10 are what I use and it works fine.

Re: Really depends on what I am printing and how solid/stout it needs to be. But my general rule is a multiple of the print nozzle. which is .4mm I use 1.2mm / 1.6mm for structures and functional parts .4mm - .8mm. For figures and very fine detail models When I am using 100% infill on small functional items like an eyeglasses temple earpiece. I use the thicker wall settings simply to avoid/reduce blobbing / pimples . Hope that helps MD

Hello Everyone. I just signed up but I am not new here by any stretch of the imagination. I finally feel like I have something worth while to contribute to this ongoing discussion concerning the silhouette Alta / Alta + I have both an Alta and an Alta +_ I have spent hours well weeks even working out everything there is to know about this machine. (that Silhouette wont tell you and neither will the actual maker of this machine..) First. this is a repackaged Colido d1315 from Print-Rite. They are the only retail outlet on the web (that I am aware of) Beside silhouette who is always sold out. (by the way the filament is Colido filament as well )where you can get parts for the Silhouette Alta /Alta + Such as a new print head, circuit board. etc. Also the silhouette alta + was released amazingly at the same exact time as the D1315 + I have rewritten the Calibration Code for the Alta So that you do not have to use the Silhouette 3D Software. And the borrowed the Colido code for filament change so that you can use any slicer that lets you send gcode or uses scripts (I may write a couple of Cura Scripts but I haven't decided yet) I have also re-written the Start Code for the Alta So that you don't Fall Asleep just waiting for it to finish the prime tower and the the smudge/smear prior to print. Also for anyone else who has experience that cracking/grinding/ popping sound just after the prime tower I have gotten rid of that.\ and for anyone curious as to whether or not i am pushing the alta outside of its design specs. Here is MY hard coded print-rite written and embedded settings echo:Stored settings retrieved echo:Steps per unit: echo: M92 X100.00 Y100.00 Z100.00 E97.90 echo:Maximum feedrates (mm/s): echo: M203 X200.00 Y200.00 Z200.00 E43.00 echo:Maximum Acceleration (mm/s2): echo: M201 X9000 Y9000 Z9000 E9000 echo:Acceleration: S=acceleration, T=retract acceleration echo: M204 S3000.00 T3000.00 echo:Advanced variables: S=Min feedrate (mm/s), T=Min travel feedrate (mm/s), B=minimum segment time (ms), X=maximum XY jerk (mm/s), Z=maximum Z jerk (mm/s), E=maximum E jerk (mm/s) echo: M205 S0.00 T0.00 B20000 X20.00 Z20.00 E20.00 echo:Home offset (mm): echo: M206 X0.00 Y0.00 Z0.00 echo:PID settings: echo: M301 P24.00 I0.40 D20.00 FYI this printer is capable of producing high quality dimensionally accurate prints at more than twice the speed that silhouette eludes to in the limited literature that they provide. A couple of hints: UNLESS YOU KNOW ATMEGA2560 /ARDUINO/ FTDI in system programming DO NOT Flash you Marlin Firmware. At least until I or someone else figures out a work around I REALLY want auto bed leveling.... Print Rite took marlin OPENSOURCE changed/complicated the flashing procedure removed some commands and didn't add a bootloader to their system and called it their "in house developed specialized os. its just dumbed down marlin 1.0 if using their filament THESE FIRST TWO THEY NEVER TELL YOU ANYWHERE BUT IF YOU WERE TO FRESH LOAD THEIR 3D SOFTWARE YOU MIGHT NOTICE 210 C temp 115% extrusion Rate it has a .4mm nozzle but you should be laying down .45mm to .6mm lines and .35 for things like supports and I usually run .08 to .16mm layer height Speed regular prints 45-60 Detail prints 35-45 Travel 70-80 jerk 20 acceleration 3000 to 8000mm sq/s maximum dimensional extrusion 12 YES because of the enclosed frame YOU CAN USE A BIG OLE 120mm PC Cooling fan straight off of the main board Labeled fan connection and the software will control it. Cura included (honestly it works better than the alta + built on rinky dink filament fan which blows but not in the way it should, And it is configured to use an sd card in fact the firmware still searches for it at load (i think that's how they flash firmware) That's for starters I am attaching all the g-code files I referenced Index of uploaded Files. Start an End G-Code -- Revised for speed and accuracy put these in your cura settings Complete Calibration routine -- each tower individually, or all towers plus center load/unload filament Captured from the Colido Software matches silhouettes exactly. Complete Capture of Silhouette Alta Reset routine if this is received well and people are interested, i Have Cura Print profiles , Slic3r config, Repetier Host config and a few others as well for the Silhouette Alta/Alta+ Later all MD Silhouette AltaGcode Files REVISED.zip
