Heres a fun #robots story. After i got home from work i went to run the next flow calibration pass from #OrcaSlicer for my recovered ABS, no need to double check anything, morning print looked ok if curled, regular ABS thing. Its currently set up on a barstool in the kitchen while the makerspace in the main room is being setup, so i go have a sit on the couch while it starts up. After 5 or so min I hear an awful scraping noise and run in to find FloopsMcGee is ramming the nozzle into the bed! 1/
#3DPrinting experts who use OrcaSlicer: PrusaSlicer has the ability to 'bind' print and filament profiles to particular printer profiles, so they don't show up for you unless you have that printer profile active. Can OrcaSlicer do something similar, and if so, how?
I did this in #PrusaSlicer using the dependencies and filters using text present in the Notes section. So I used FILAMENT_ABS and FILAMENT_TPU and then associate profiles with filament types. But as far as I am aware this isn't possible in #OrcaSlicer
We have a greated a #Matrix community for #3Dprinting related discussions, with many rooms with active discussions. You can join the entire chat, or simple join the topics you are interested in.
OK, so I decided to take a leap and get some BambuLab filament, since I heard good things about it from folks here.
I ended up getting:
PETG-CF (three colours)
PC (one colour)
ABS (one colour to fill out the order for free shipping)
As the first one requires a hardened nozzle (which I don't currently have set up on the XPlus-3, and the KP3S is out of commission), I'll start with the ABS. Follow thread for running commentary.
Ich habe gestern Abend noch mal schnell einen #gridfinity Deckel für die Knopfzellen - Box gemacht und gedruckt und die Qualität mit dem Vortrocknen und Warmhalten während des Druckens hilft enorm bei der Qualität.
Mit dem eSun PLA+ habe ich keine einzige Lücke mehr in den Wänden. Absolut geschlossen und keine Fehler mehr.
Was im #OrcaSlicer / #PrusaSlicer sehr nützlich ist: die variable Schichthöhe. Das spart 10-20% Zeit und bis zu 10% Material. Sehr geil.
Ich probiere gerade den #OrcaSlicer aus. Das ist schon ein schönes Teil an Software, hat nicht die unerträglichen Hänger von Cura, kann #Klipper direkt in der App anzeigen und die Modelle kommen auch noch besser raus. Die kleinen Optimierungen bringen schon in den Standardeinstellungen enorm was.
Der Top-Layer sieht aus, als wenn man Ironing angewendet hat und die Glättungsmethode ist dabei deaktiviert.
Der Übergang Fläche zu Wand ist erheblich besser, als in Cura.
In Orca Slicer, are 'maximum jerk X' and 'maximum jerk Y' for the Klipper G-code flavour taken to mean Marlin jerk, square corner velocity, or something else?
I ask because for print settings, jerk overrides are treated as SCV!
Hey #3dprinting people, why would I get a line on the outside of a print that's exactly where the base of the inner area is?
Eliminated z screws and belts being the issue.
Have altered design several ties to give more of a gap (see sectional analysis), and removing the lower chamfered area, but problem remains.
Same with different filaments.
Examination layer-by-layer in slicer looks fine..
Attempting again with more walls..
You want your settings to look something like this. Yours will of course differ, but this also caught me off guard the first time I used #BambuSlicer and #orcaslicer
Notice the difference between min-fan-speed and layer-time and max-fan-speed and layer-time. For some reason, I confused the definitions of them initially, but if you hover over them, you'll get a definition.
Start with these settings, and then fine tune them until the fan speed is constant across your entire outer surface.
Start by first setting your print speed. Then look at your layer times, find the longest and shortest layer time.
Use these values for your min and max layer time, but try to get them closer to each other.
Then experiment with the min and max fan speed until you have a constant color.
I am really enjoying #OrcaSlicer. I've printer probably 30 hours with it.
I created my profile by copying over my #PrusaSlicer profile, but actually found it not to work as good, so I tweaked it and found that there is a clear difference in extrusion rates. My OrcaSlicer profile uses 0.98 extrusion multiplier and PrusaSlicer 1.06, with other values also being different.
I don't know how to put my finger on it. But looking at a part, I decide which I am going to use to slice it, and it always comes out good.
It won't be replacing PrusaSlicer anytime soon for me, but it is now another tool in my arsenal.
Fun discovery of the day: PrusaSlicer (at least for the Mini) actually enforces the machine limits by emitting appropriate G-code when slicing. Among other things, this means that if you want, say, higher accelerations, you can just request them.
This is probably because the Mini can't save anything to EEPROM, which means any change to presets requires a firmware upgrade.
Unfortunately, I stopped caring about the acceleration limits and everything in #PrusaSlicer since I started to run #Klipper because it actually tells you that the limits are only for time predictions and aren't Ctually emitted to #Gcode.
But when you use #OrcaSlicer and you insert custom accelerations and dynamic-overhang-speeds and limits, the printer actually honors it.
So, not only are my time predictions with OrcaSlicer more accurate, but I am actually printing at the rate that I want to and chose in the slicer.
But then finally, I have to say. OrcaSlicer does not honor flow-rate limits as well as PrusaSlicer does. If I tell PrusaSlicer to never exceed 12mm^3/s, it would slow itself down.
OrcaSlicer justs YOLOs itself past that limit, and my exteuders start to skip!
I just tried #OrcaSlicer for the first time, I've just not had time to test it until now.
Because it was based on #PrusaSlicer, #SuperSlicer, and #Slic3r, I hoped that I could just import my PrusaSlicer config, but could not because it expected a .json file and PrusaSlicer outputs a .ini, but I might have done this incorrectly.
So I configure a "Generic Klipper setup" and copied the values by hand by comparing settings with my PrusaSlicer setup and a bit of experience and intuition.
My first resulting print, a custim part by me compared to the PrusaSlicer, was worlds apart. The finish was greatly improved with bridges requiring no supports, however it did print a bit slower, 28 minutes instead of 18 minutes, but this might still just be speed settings.
I like the UI, although I am more used to PrusaSlicer, and I especially love that I can access #Mainsail and #Klipper from within the app.
