I have a specific print that has a few finicky requirements. Essentially it is a 0.25" thick mesh made with lines infill [0,90], no walls, no top, no bottom. This part is unique in that other manufacturing methods are basically impossible because the hole sizes are so close the aspect ratios so high, so it provides something pretty unique. There are a few requirements: Need to clean up the edges so I have clean edges without post processing. Some methods: Driving backward after reaching the end Z retraction during movement backward Z hopping Filament retraction Slight travel offset from end of line to account for diameter of filament blob Combination of some or all of the above Need to ensure that the grid formed by the infill is totally aligned to the part I have not had good success trying to dial this in with the settings. Typically I'm off by a little bit and need to fight the slicer to get both the first and the last lines to actually slice. Need a way to do this repeatably and exactly. Need to thin down all the edges. Basically, I need these to fit together and tile, so the wall thickness needs to be reduced around the perimeter and the spacing slightly reduced. I am ok with slight reduction in the opening, but it might still be clear. Proposed methods: Alter G1 movements at the start and end of the shape to move in the desired direction and adjust filament extrusion Add G92 to allow filament to pick up where it should have been in an unedited state So I have a few options at this point. The shapes I need are very simple (squares). I am considering the following: DIY slicer for specific use (Python + Shapely) Plugin for Cura Write post processor Another more precise slicer with these options? The first one is straight forward, but is probably a longer path. I wanted to ask folks in the community if the other two options are reasonable. The post-processor seems like a giant pain because the extrusion is absolute and not incremental. I could throw tons of G92's in there, but I think it would become a mess and might be more effort than writing a simple slicer from scratch. If it helps, I'm working with an S5 Pro Bundle. Thanks!

Has anyone on here ever tried using a Diamondback nozzle with a print core? I know that the Ultimaker cores are not designed to have their nozzles changed out, but I would like to get the benefits of a diamondback nozzle. I am looking at experimenting with a variety of filaments and would like to give the best chance of success. If someone has tried this and got it working, was it the v^ compatible nozzles or a different variety? Thank you!
