Weak print-outs. Layer not sticking well to each other

· Weak print-outs. Layer not sticking well to each other
Hello
You can increase the support with "Support Horizontal Expansion". In addition, activate "Roof" and "Roof Horizontal Expansion". Then the overhangs are better supported. In the preview you can theoretically see what happens when you adjust these settings.
One thing about PLA is that you have to print it cool. And when you make monster parts like this, it's best to leave the doors open on the printer. I also sometimes print the PLA from BASF. It's good, but it doesn't stick very well to the plate if you've applied Magigoo several times.
Normal PLA is not really suitable for technical parts. It's more for the showcase 😇.
Next would be Tough PLA -> ABS -> PETG -> CPE -> CPE+ -> NYLON -> NYLON+CF -> PC -> PC+CF -> PEEK
Just going off the top of my head. So there are still increases in the choice of materials.
From CPE+ you need experience. And from PC+CF you need a different printer.
Many greetings

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
