Has anyone noticed that after upgrading to version 1.8.2.56 the prints started to use more filament? I would like to know if any functionality was enabled by default in this new version that generated this behavior.
All parameters are default in both versions of the software, I just changed Brim Type to No Brim
1.8.2.56
1.7.7.89
After printing I used a scale to check, and the parts printed with the new software actually consume 10-15% more filament.
Interesting, I would have to rollback to test. but nice pickup!
changes to internal solid infill it seems (which takes also 30min longer)
If you are doing a multicolor print, it might be due to the automatic purge calculation. You can turn the feature off in settings. I personally like the feature because I hate it when the colors mix.
You could also adjust their suggested values to be a little less.
When on, it recalculates every time a color is added.
This is an awesome find! thanks Paulo! I was worried I would not be able to find the reason!
The new update to 1.9.1.67 also has that modification as default.
Seems on a P1P but not P1S, X1 etc - Can you confirm you have P1P or seing the same?
As I dont recall that much different previously on sparse infill and walls on the P1P
I didnt think the P1P was thtat much slower…possibly cooling\layer times due to the open frame…
All tests on 0.20mm Standard and 0.4mm Nozzle
Simple cube, P1P - Sparse infill time 8mins+
Simple cube, P1S - Sparse infill time 4mins+
Simple cube, X1C - Sparse infill time 4mins+
I have a P1P. Not only saw the change you mentioned but also And I saw that the walls count was changed from 2 to 3 loops, being this the main issue increasing the filament.
Some other variables like the with of the wall increased by .01 or .02 points.
