  1. Maybe some kind of ironing? Moving the warm nozzle slowly over the gap with no material added before adding material again?
  2. Thank you for your modifications πŸ™‚ I was a bit skeptical about making them hollow but they might still have the strength I need so I did a test print. The outcome was way better then before. It still knocked one pillar off. I think I understand the problem better now, it is the layer that is about to bridge the two pillars together that causes me troubles because then you have no z-hop at all. Then simply need to be on the exact same level for the nozzle to be able to move from one pillar over to the other and I can't think of any way how this could be ensured 😞
  3. I seen this script too but as you say, the vanilla "ChangeAtZ" does not have Z-hop support either but I guess it would be quite easy to add that to the script. The dots is an extra surface, at first I found it convenient to keep it since it worked as a separator and made adjusting the "tower" positions of the modell easier when I was modelling it and test printed to find the exact correct position. But Now when that is done I found out this surface had another nice little feature, it made a foundation for the tower legs so they attach to the core of the bottom plate and not just on the surface. So that is why I did not remove it.
  4. Hi! I have not tried the mesh modifiers, thanks for the hint πŸ™‚ However a quick look at it make me think that for example z hop does not seem to be one of the supported settings you can change with it 😞 I would like a minimal z hop for easy to print areas and have some trouble with curling upwards on some overhangs/bridges that the nozzle tends to hit and knocks the model off the plate 😞 So I really want a bigger z hop here to stop it from doing that. Project attached if you want to try to understand my problem. I also want this to print without support since I need a few a these and post processing of the models takes time 😞 CCR10SPRO_skydd5 ASA.3mf
  5. Hi Don't know if exactly this has been requested before but I see scripts do things to a degree that this suggestion could do and I also find requests here for specific settings at to be applied at certain height/layers, for example print speed, z hop height and more. In Cura today some print settings can be set differently by the definition of top and bottom height. However it only affects a limited number of settings that is selectable as specific top/bottom settings. This is quite limiting on what settings that can be set different at different layers or height spans. So I suggest a more generic model for implementing different settings at specific layers or a height spans could be very useful. This would then be done by defining a layer or height span to work with and then allow to add/change any print setting in there that will then override the "base" print settings (those which is used outside any custom layer or height spans). The span areas could be defined maybe as layer numbers (but those can easily change if layer height is changed so not optimal) or a height unit span or maybe as a percentage span of the model height but I think height units are the best to use. What do you think about this suggestion? I wish I was a programmer so I could add something like this myself but I'm not 😞
