Printer settings for stability #1

Open TigerClaw33 opened 5 years ago

TigerClaw33 commented 5 years ago

Hi, which settings do I have to use for the parts?

At the moment I print with PETG, infill 100% and wall thickness/ top/bottom thickness 1.2mm.

What are the best options for stability and for high temperatures?I think 20% infill and wall thickness of 1.2mm will be not enough for small parts ...

Hi,

%100 infill is an overkill. %20 infill will do the job perfectly. 0.20 layer height is the optimal resolution. 4 layers on bottom and top should do the trick.

Please see the specs of your filament for temperature settings.

Cheers, Murathan

Sometimes small parts are not stable enough at high temperatures and I thought it will be good to make it as strong as possible. Also for the screw holes maybe they will be more stable :) The good think is I printed only the parts for the y axis with 100% infill. So for the extruder and the other axis maybe it would be to much with infill 100% also because the weight of the parts which have to be move.

My next parts I will print with infill 20-25% and Grid instead of ZickZack -> (recommended from prusa3D), Top/bottom 4-5 and Wall Line Count 3 (5 would be to much for small parts because there will be not enough infill isn't it?) Temperature is 220°C and for Fan Speed I am good with 20% for PETG. 50% destroys my structure ...

I had many problems with extruder clicking and with 220°C, FanSpeed 20% and print speed 40mm/s I am very good ...

Yes this is a kind of try and error thing. You will find the sweet spot. Variables are filaments and environmental temperatures.
