Options to reduce speed only on small details

Posted · Options to reduce speed only on small details

I have an issue that I'm unable to resolve. Looked over the internet, but couldn't find any approach for this.

 

The issue is that part of the details is being printed very fast. Outer layers than inner layers one after another and there is no time to cool down. Extrusion flow and retractions are calibrated and they are not the reason for the issue I think.

 

The detail with the issue is part of a big layer. Due to that fact the minimum layer time doesn't do the job.

So I'm looking for mechanism to slow down only on that detail, not on the whole layer. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Found an option for this. Use support blocker and modify the settings for overlap. This way I managed to configure lower speed for the area overlapped by the support blocker.

     

    Though this is manual step for each new model being sliced. Not sure yet what is causing the observed results, but if this is common issue with insufficient cooling I suppose a fix can easily be applied. An option that reduce speed for small details that participate in larger layer would probably do the job.

    You call it "support blocker" but I think the official name is "modifier mesh".  When you first created it, perhaps it was called a support blocker but as soon as you changed it to do something else it became a modifier mesh.  I think.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
