My dad found a file he wants me to print him, something about nostalgia from his working days, its from makerworld but it doesnt have any print profiles. Me being the amateur that I am figured I can totally figure it out myself…they are essential 4 4" diameter 1/4"disks that when originally sliced took over 12 hours. Through my limited skills (you know changing infill from 40% to 20%, layer height from .08 to .16, grid infill to adaptive cubic (because its my favorite) I got it down to 8 hours 35 min using PETG. I feel like thats still too long for relatively simple circles. Any ideas on how to cut that time down further? Or is 8 1/2 hours pretty standard for PETG on an A1?
Well, your print is flow limited. You can speed that up but you need to switch to a High Flow PETG.
Are you certain about your modified cooling settings and your modified filament start GCode?
I have better experiences with the default generic profile rather than opening Pandora’s box of cooling…
I do not have an A-series so I can’t really comment on the z-offset other than myself to have never needed that on my X1 or Plus4. Did you have reason to implement it in the filament start GCode?
