A nice touch would be able to do the calibration, on a smooth plate, with the LIDAR and then have some way to save the info or at least get the info out. Also depends on how humid the filament is. 2- Enabled retraction, 5mm distance, speed 50mm, temp 200. With the Ender-5 S1, 0. Orca slicer has all of them. Increasing the Line Width can be a good solution to smoothen out Z seams. I started out wit. Best used with an increased Test Line Spacing and reduced Pressure Advance range. Using negative, has almost no impact on the entire print, using the smallest modifications on all parts that should be rounded. I. In this thread I have the same model printed using orca-slicer calibrated settings, as well as the stock Bambu PETG-CF presets. Keep the automatic settings that the slicer gives for the calibration print, then print it. 3mm (This can change for preference but I like the insurance of a little lift if risk of scratching the print) Wipe while retracting: On Retract amount before wipe: 100% (This is suppose to mimics "coasting" from other slicers)I'm a new Orca Slicer user. If you enable firmware retraction in the slicer and set the retraction length to a different value than the one configured in the printer config, a SET_RETRACTION command isn't generated inside the result gcode, which means that the retraction value isn't honored. the tower. Bed temperature – 70℃. Users can specify when retraction should happen, how much filament should get retracted, how quickly it should get retracted, and more. 7 ( never used this one i use orca slicer) and do flow calibration, advance pressure, Print temperature as an option i do maximum print speed test and retraction test and. (which are the default Orca Slicer retraction test parameters) EDIT: It occurs to me that maybe you printed a retraction tower test with a fixed retraction value of 2. Even when I try tweaking them printing is a lot slower than with the Elegoo Cura slicer (see below). FYI: for those of you that want to communicate with the printer, the network log file for Orca Slicer actually shows the MQTT commands being sent to the printer. No ozing. The Ender 3 V2 still relies on a Bowden extruder system, so settings for TPU are more or less the same as those for the Ender 3, but with a few minor tweaks to retraction speed and distance. Filament - !!!Dry!!! as others suggested , and filament parameters especially if not using Bambu filament, strongly suggest to use Orca slicer 1. 4. The dimensions of the hexagon tester are illustrated in the image. Retraction speed typically varies from 25mm/s to 45mm/s. . 3mm, and 0. 4. PETG has a higher melting point than PLA. It’s a much better user interface and provides great features. 61 on windows 10. Right now i do it manually, by printing same object over and over again and looking whether retraction/wipe does not cause a gap in perimeter where it retracts /wipes on layer change. 6. 8 mm ; Retraction Speed. It is pretty easy to use but has 2 main issues. I've only found retraction speed. The values differ depending on the filament used. Yes the Bambu slicer has limited basic settings I would recommend the Orca slicer 1. flexibles) have unique requirements. Yes, absolute machine limits set in Klipper and your print quality/speed requirements inside the slicer. In today's video, I will go through the calibration steps for TPU and show my results. The standard slicing software favored for these printers is Orca Slicer, which allows you to arrange and size your model and set options for the printer to follow. .

EDIT: It occurs to me that maybe you printed a retraction tower test with a fixed retraction value of 2. Searching for "retraction" will take you to the relevant part of the Printer Settings and also to the setting on the Filament Settings where you can override the general retraction settings. If you want to do something like this you can just import the model, slice it, and then use the slider on the right hand side to go to. 8 mm The results of this test print are a bit messier. Retraction: 5 mm at 60 mm/s: 4. 3) Print until you see how much stringing is happening, and then stop it. . TL;DR: way more stringing in Orca slicer then in Cura, while using the same retraction settings. Filament - !!!Dry!!! as others suggested , and filament parameters especially if not using Bambu filament, strongly suggest to use Orca slicer 1. Hey guys, Im on my third attempt with this print and its getting frustrating. The retraction speed defines the speed at which the filament is retracted into the nozzle during a retraction movement. In Cura, the value is independent of the print speed and is expressed as a percentage. Other than that a worn nozzle, worn ptfe tube, too much z-hop, slow travel speed, and acceleration and jerk settings had the most impact on the test pieces I did print. There’s quite a bit of stringing and what seems to be unevenness in. I was wondering if there is a way to do that in prusa slicer? Or if anyone has a retraction gcode setup to test varying retraction settings in one print? I know I can adjust the setting manually. Magarotto. [1] This article discusses the various retraction settings available to Ender 3 users, suggesting ideal parameters for the popular Creality 3D printer. Best TPU Slicer Settings for Ender 3 V2. Part 6, Orca Tolerance Test. r/crealityk1. Decouple Printer from Desk. If you would like to be able to customise additional parameters for a retraction test, Prahjister has made a great tool: Retraction Calibration Tool. I’d 3D print a retraction test with 0 retraction and observe, then print a series of tests with various retraction speeds and distances. This is represented as a percentage, so enter the value accordingly. Divide 1mm by layer height in mm, then round down, to get the number of layers per flow rate step increase. . I've taken a sampling from the 2nd pass for flow rate and photographed it through a light table using a macro lens. Next test - dehumidified filament - 5 hours 50 oC - light improvement - comparable with temperature increasing somewhere between 5-10 oC. 1. But just to run through any other software issues, I installed Orca/SoftFever Slicer to run advanced calibrations on the PC, results below: Temp Tower: 270C -Good from 260-280, I guess 270C is best, has cleanest overhangs. So the right place for storage is the filament profile, like Orca Slicer handles it. 5) doesn’t have support for it. 6. PETG benefits from a hot nozzle and a warm build plate to get the best results. After the print is complete, we can examine each section of the tower to determine the optimal. Set the infill value to 0%. 2mm. In my testing when I only changed the retraction speed and distance I got the best results, the other settings seemed to make it worse.

(I really think this setting should be in the other category not Advanced) I also changed the line width up to . Speed of the first layer: 30 mm/s. . 3 layer height, it won't need to print as fast but calculations will require the slicer to check. Temp Tower/Retraction Tower. Tags. 'Process-4' from 10mm - 6. 4. Change your temps to match the material. Tuned X1C Print Profiles for Bambu/Orca-Slicer . 2. Kind of complicated and confusing. The first stop to eliminate stringing is through a proper retraction setting. Hello FailOften, Yes the Bambu slicer has limited basic settings I would recommend the Orca slicer 1. The printed test does not allow determining the exact retraction speed, so choose a standard value of 30 mm/s to avoid filament break and print at normal speed. For Direct Drive systems: Start with a retraction of 1mm. 7 ( never used this one i use orca slicer) and do flow calibration, advance pressure, Print temperature as an option i do maximum print speed test and retraction test and. Learn the best Ender 3 retraction settings!The Cura one's is used on the edges, when the slicer has to decide if it will round to positive or negative. 8 to 1. Part 6, Orca Tolerance Test. Scroll down until you get to the part called "Assets. Using this you will get gorgeous prints nearly off the bat so long as your machine is in good physical shape. Close window (don’t save) and choose test: A settings box appears, use about a little less as a Start value, like 16 start at 15. WOW! What a difference. Click to the edit button, the select the “Extruder” field and change the length as your new one. No ozing. There are many options available online! Line Width: It often helps to increase the line width by a small. On a similar note, if you already have a great slicer profile for a previous version of the Ender 3, you might want to try to use that as your. 6. Minimum Travel after Retraction is exactly what it says on the tin: if the travel after a retraction would be less than 2 mm, it does not retract. Height: Your maximum retraction length will be (height - 1) * step. Creality Slicer is a program designed specifically for Creality 3D printers, while Cura is a general-purpose slicer that can be used with a variety of 3D printers. The retraction tower is a vertical structure with multiple notches, each printed at a different retraction length. PETG: 1,0 mm at 30-40 mm/s. 3 it has more options and settings. EDIT: It occurs to me that maybe you printed a retraction tower test with a fixed retraction value of 2. Hey Guys, I'm a little bit late in this discussion, but I got my 1st 3D printer a week ago, and wondered the same. Fighting fine stringing is one of the most frustrating problems to pin down, and our slicers provide numerous work-arounds to help us deal with this problem: retraction and de-retraction length. (which are the default Orca Slicer retraction test parameters)The distance should be slightly higher for Bowden extruders than direct drive extruders. I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. I have deactivated Z-Hop. Sign up for free to join this conversation on GitHub . My settings are as follows: Standard Overture PLA Temps: 225c Nozzle, 60c Bed Cooling 100% Retraction: .

Print test objects to verify the capability of your printer: temp tower, calibration cube, and bridging test, or Bed Level correction tool for advanced users. Stop the print once you notice problems begin to occur. In orca some parameters are two times higher and I can save only couple of minutes based on slicer simulation. I have always used Cura and didnt really have any big problems, but I would. Enhanced retraction/travel settings to reduce blobbing and stringing. Depends on printing conditions (print speed, filament type (changes from color to color), print temperature. folder. stl. ago. Some materials may ooze more than others, and may require increased retraction distance & travel speed to achieve. Ive raised the temp of the bed to 85 and lowered the temp of the nozzle to 185 to no avail. All my printers are configured to use firmware retract so that i can change retract settings during print. Next step would be retraction calibration I guess. We present a formal approach to reciprocal collision avoidance, where multiple independent mobile robots or agents need to avoid collisions with each other without communication. make sure slicer generate G10, G11 code. I am fairly sure the printer has nothing about retraction. I am continuing to test different settings and making new profiles, so stay tuned for more filament profiles and more changes in the future. For this example, I will be using 255C with KVP ABS. I use an Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro with Klipper. If you want to get the best possible results in 3D printing, you need to relieve the nozzle during printing.

Learn how to quickly stop stringing on your 3d prints with this simple setting in cura. 5. Would be a great help if we could also print a test object and find the best retraction, wipe settings for a certain fixed temperature. Starting with the default Cura settings and tweak the distance by 1 mm at a time to find the optimal value. However, if one has configured a large retraction in the slicer (eg, 5mm or greater) then one may find they limit the desired speed of retractions. 8-1. In the Cura slicer, for example, you can increase the speed from the normal 50 to around 55-60 and see if you still experience. Orca Tolerance Test Retraction. (which are the default Orca Slicer retraction test parameters) wootsuit July 23, 2023,. All makerspace FDM printers can be printed to via Orca Slicer. First picture is Orca, second Cura. Tuning retraction length and speed helped a small amount, but slowing print speed was the most effective for me. Describe the bug The tower needs two bottom shell layers also it has manifold errors but they will repair. Magarotto. Then the retraction speeds are wandering from 15 mm to 50 mm. Printing speed – 60 mm/s. 2. I really like Cura and its layout. 005 increment. Howdy! I'm still learning the ins and outs of my Prusa Mini+, and having a lot of fun with it. Dropped perimeters down to 2. Fixed a bug causing "vector too long" issues in some. Scroll down until you get to the part called "Assets. I’ve now done the calibration with Orca-Slicer and after the 2 prints I’ve changed the value to 0. If find the defaults work in most cases, but that some filament (e. I use the Orca Slicer variant of Bambu's slicer because it offers finer-grained control over the slicing process and makes tuning and using tuned filament profiles much easier than Bambu's official slicer, which lacks good calibration routines for some of the most important variables in good printing: flow rate, pressure advance, and. • 10 mo. The settings that limit retraction velocity are: [extruder] #max_extrude_only_velocity: #max_extrude_only_accel: # Maximum velocity (in mm/s) and acceleration (in mm/s^2) of the # extruder motor for retractions and. Flow Rate: 0. already recalibrated everything via orca slicer and online video. Collision warning for sequential print too strict bug. Thingiverse is a universe of things. Download a Basic Retraction Test from Thingiverse. I switched to slic3r and enabled 'Use firmware retraction' at printer setting. 3D Models ; 3D Printers ; Test Models ; 3D Printed Test Models. Retraction distance: 3 mm. Cura has a little bit of strings but that was because my filament was a bit moist, I dried it again and almost no improvement on the Orca one but next to no strings on the Cura one. 2mm, according to your machine spec extruder settings that you’ve shared, and not one that starts an 0mm on the bottom and ends at 2mm on the top. 5 and is not showing in the slicer. The the retraction step rings do not match the retraction settin. Support settings for Super Slicer that are as good as Cura. (which are the default Orca Slicer retraction test parameters) Even though experimentation will always yield the best results due to differences in hardware, here are the retraction settings of our recommendation that can act as a starting point for printing PLA successfully: Retraction Distance – 5 mm (for Bowden extruders) / 1 mm (Direct Drive) Retraction Speed – 45 mm/s. It hardly takes 1-engineer 1-day to review these. Your bed plate should work. Retraction. Fixed several retraction bugs when slicing multicolor models. I tried both on Bambu studio and Orca Slicer. by Pranav Gharge. tiny little holes. File:13 Squareness. The different towers all have the same shape and go from 180 to 220 °C for PLA. However, the overhangs are a bit iffy. 4. 6-0. When I print with your settings (eg the hurricane part you shared), the outer wall speed is limited to 15mm/s, even if I set it at 400mm/s. This is low enough to protect your filament while also being high enough that the slicer will not enforce it. Build. File:12 retraction performance test. Basically, it makes sure that your extruded filament bead stays at a consistent width when sudden changes in speed or directions take place. These changes have made a big improvement but need to eliminate that swirl blob. 3. But I still see the message on the console. Option 2. 1mm. On the downside, cooling is more of an issue, retraction settings are harder to get right, supports are hard to remove and clean up, and most slicers/printers are calibrated for 0. Getting more-or-less equivalent settings on the main stuff, Orca takes about 20% longer on my test print. Studio and Orca-Slicer both use the same filament and process profiles stored in the Bambu “cloud”. and second, the slicer is open source, so everybody can add changes on it. What are your retraction settings ? You can try putting this in the your petg cf filament overrides but every filament needs to be tested for the best settings. Orca Slicer Reduce stringing in prints and use Modifiers to selectively modify portions of your part. 7 ( never used this one i use orca slicer) and do flow calibration, advance pressure, Print temperature as an option i do maximum print speed test and retraction test and. You'll want that to be short, but not 0, because retraction can lead to under extrusion at the start of a new line, and every swap from one shell to the next shell right next to it is classed as travel. I thought that I could have messed up the pressure advance tuning, so I ran the same test twice, one. 0 on my Bambu Lab P1P my new project with Timelapse. Make test prints at the beginning to detect errors in time. 2mm, 0. And not by a constant amount or even a constant percentage as distance increases from the center of the build plate, so I can't compensate for it in the slicer, or at least not for more than one dimension on a part. - Dans l'onglet "Réglages du filament" rubrique " Annulation de filament"A new feature in ORCA 4. ABS SettingsThis method can be used for other slicer variables too, not just temperatures / heating commands. Pictured result seems… interesting, higher temp yielding fewer strings (look at that 240c section! Clean and virtually no blobs) but more droop(I’d assume worse sticking with supports). Alors, nouveau slicer? En fait non, c'est juste un changement de n. Retraction speed: 40 mm/sec. 9. I believe that you can save. EDIT: It occurs to me that maybe you printed a retraction tower test with a fixed retraction value of 2. The slicer parameters that influence this test are mainly speed and retraction distance. I really cant explain why it happens… i try to take a video asap. You can try it @ 35c and see how it’s working. 2) Slice. I just changed my X1C from 0. 6. 2mm, according to your machine spec extruder settings that you’ve shared, and not one that starts an 0mm on the bottom and ends at 2mm on the top. 3. I've currently got it at 1. However, if one has configured a large retraction in the slicer (eg, 5mm or greater) then one may find they limit the desired speed of retractions. Beyond extruder type, the filament quality, its level of moisture, and even the slicer and printer you’re using can all affect retraction. . 5 to 1mm, slice and repeat, until stringing just stops. 5 mm at 50-60 mm/s. Published Nov 20, 2023. Upload to the printer and print. Nov 14, 2022. 6. Using the XY Size compensation, it changes the size of the entire model, proportionally. Go to OrcaSlicer r/OrcaSlicer • by askmydog View community ranking I'm trying to use firmware retraction with Klipper. Please consider adding the ability to create retraction speed and distance towers via the calibration menu, similarly to how temperature towers can currently be generated. My biggest issue so far is that the horizontal dimensional accuracy is way off. Passing Slicer Variables to a Macro; Useful Macros. I don’t have any partnership(or collaboration) with Bambulab, nor have they sponsored Orca Slicer or me in any way. List of supported g-code commands.

The same clearance to prevent collisions, but with the hope of reduced. r/3Dprinting. drux1039 • 1 yr. In Creality print is “combing mode”, I think. 8-1. 6. The only thing that look like retraction is this at the end:;— End G-code Begin — M104 S0 M140 S0 G92 E0 G1 E-2 F3000 ;Retract the filament G92 E0. M104 S [first_layer_temperature]; calienta hotend sin esperar. 3mm (Crazy I know, but after quite a few retraction test prints this works the best for me) Lift Z: 0. and not one that starts an 0mm on the bottom and ends at 2mm on the top. Just dry your filament, every spool (even the new) is moist and it's 99% cause of stringing. ) and then you "slice" the model for. I did it. To be fair, it’s mostly a “test print” problem. The tolerance test is mostly for your own information. p8willm. Adjust the printing parameters to get the best results for your 3D printer. 4) Increase retraction distance by . Update and correct Vz configs. fresh pla+ dryed 12 hours 45* 28%. There are syntax errors in your start g-code. I would also recommend the orca slicer if you are not using it. 0 mm retraction at 42 mm/sec - 0% infill. If you use orca slicer, turn on “avoid crossing walls”. Then calibrate the flow rate to the actual maximum your filament can do, using the orca slicer calibration tests (my eSUN Silk PLA can do 19mm3/sec comfortably). 3 it has more options and settings. 1 Like. 2mm, according to your machine spec extruder settings that you’ve shared, and not one that starts an 0mm on the bottom and ends at 2mm on the top. Keep the automatic settings that the slicer gives for the calibration print, then print it. I use 230C hotend / 30-40C bed with Overture TPU. # Use PRINT_END for the slicer ending script - please customise for your slicer of choice gcode: # # safe anti-stringing move coords # {% set th = printer. #2818 opened Nov 21, 2023 by HTraff. Forgive me if this is not the place to ask. But I am staying with Orca Slicer for now. (which are the default Orca Slicer retraction test parameters) wootsuit July 23, 2023,. Add a bulleted list, <Ctrl+Shift+8> Add a numbered list, <Ctrl+Shift+7> Add a task list, <Ctrl+Shift+l>The best settings for retraction for the QIDI Tech X-Max 3 in Cura: PLA: 1,0 mm at 30 mm/s. Retraction distance changes how far back the filament is pulled. The retraction distance is considered the most important retraction slicer setting, and it controls the length of filament that is pulled back by the extruder for every retraction move. 3mm layer height on a different printer. The primary thought behind the z-hop feature is to prevent plastic from blobbing by creating a small distance between the nozzle and the object. You could take that info and try adjusting your printers belt tension or other items on the physical printer, but 0. Therefore, especially with retraction and PETG, it is important that you calibrate the retraction accurately – more on this later. Our Tip: Tune retraction distance up/down by 0. Kind of complicated and confusing. The retraction distance should be around 0.
