I m printing some terrain model on my P1S and I face some issues with little holes appearing. So far I have tried:
ironing surfaces
increase numbers of walls
use arachne setting
tried different infill patterns
tried some different top surface patterns
tried different presets for quality (standard 0.2, draft 0.24, better quality 0.16)
I also ran a calibration but I am starting to be out of ideas (and filament )
What seems to work best is to increase the number of walls and having concentric top surfaces but I still face some issues at the junctions between flat surface and walls. Anyone has some ideas how to solve it?
I have 2 walls, 15% infill, topshell layer is set to default 5.
I am running one atm with 3 walls to see the effect and was thinking to compare with 2walls/20%infill, but I am just trying my luck.
for testing just use the slicer to chop around the area and only print multiple sections of that to not waste filament and time. (doesnāt need to be tall eitherā¦just 1/2 a cm to get the top surface cut all the rest away)
Also once done clone the chunk, per-object setting and change each top layer yada yada to get them all done in 1 go and compare side by side on the same plate.
oh good hint @Unique_Letterhead ! I only tried global settings and started to get lost in what I actually changed. Iāll upgrade my slicer skills tonight
I actually dreamed yesterday of a feature to print the some settings of each object on the side or underside of it.
Sorry typing fast, but yes I meant use the ācutā tool to just whack off 3 times the extra you donāt care about, and the bit that is broken.
Then fill the plate with 3-4-5 copies, hit the per-object and tweak away. Keep one default slicer like 02 layer height or whatever if you can - then all your changes. At times the machines calibrated and knows better than some of our rabbit hole deep dives.
Let us know, snap a pic of the plate so we can see them too and compare maybe
running 11 copies atm. Ran out of filament so it will be bicolour.
That makes me wonder if that could also be related to dry level of filament. In my AMS, it s indicates 3/5 .
Top surface pattern: monotonic line
I take that the biggest effect comes from the ironing and the concentric setting although I wonder if the concentric setting is not void when ironing is set to true
This looks suspiciously like a problem I was running around trying to help someone with in another thread about a landscape topping problem
Whyā¦hmm iām still testing in that other threadā¦
Did the studio/slicer update and do something? is this #2 ???
Oddā¦ but keep at it I will on my side for the other as well iāll try to find and link the other thread.
EDIT: look at that. while I was sleeping some results.
Where does this model come from? can you attach it if you are allowed? maybe we just need to make it āsolidā so the slicer can āseeā the edge properly?
i could not upload the 20MB file. It says it s over 500MB
@Unique_Letterhead , trying with an icloud link: iCloud Drive - Apple iCloud . Let me know if you can access it.
I am actually thinking it might have to do with the STL to 3mf conversion happening at some point or the slicer not able to properly convert the file.
ouch thatās huge most should be under 65mb if even that. so yes very possible that the conversion - like the other model - had something OR is vastly too detailed possibly for the slicer to even get it to 008 you know?
I wonder if you take a resin printer slicer would it look clean?
By accident you might be making too high quality models
You happen to be in luck. my repair FINALLY finished omgā¦ took all damn day on a powerful server as well bah. So now I can start working on these other models to see.
With any luck this will save properly and upload without crashing makerworld <_< this design for whatever reason gave me nightmares oh well. Iāll finish things up tomorrow and see about these repairs.
Looks good here? So good in fact I think Iāll print it in the matte clay color I am printing with right now (10h sandcastle print going overnight)
I uploaded the file so you can just printer swap and see, but looks great! the topcoat is applying properly on the infill with no holes, and this is without ironing as well so nice!
BUT this also meansā¦there is or might be some problem with you slicing itā¦ I hope this was a fixed file maybe? not the broken one that somehow works on my end?
