making a slots of 200 microns in a rectangular block (10mm X 10mm ) of ASA material

[SiddharthTilala 0]

I need help with making slots of 200 microns in a recangular block  (10 X 5 or 10 X 10 mm2).

i designed stuff with autodesk and started printing but the print that i got from machine has no slots on them. also i am using the material called ASA which is slightly differnet than ABS. 

I would be thankful any direction or help. 

 

Thank You,

Siddharth

You have to design the slots bigger, maybe 0.4 or 0.5, you have to try it. The slots behave like holes in an object, they also become smaller when printing.

Vertical slots or horizontal slots?  If they are horizontal slots you can play with the "horizontal expansion" parameter and set that to a negative value.  Also make sure the slots are visible in cura preview before printing anything.

 

If the slots are on the bottom layer this is the hardest layer to control to that precision.  You will need to mess with the "initial layer horizontal expansion" and level the machine extremely carefully (to 0.02mm accuracy potentially which is very difficult).

 

But it is possible to create 0.1mm slots.
