125 - Took Forever But Here It is!

I'll check it out.

Cura doesn't have my current printer. At least last time I checked. Ridiculous closed source technology.

Light colored filament?

Yes.

I've got a sparkle purple, but most of mine are dark. I'll maybe pick something up, maybe try what I have.

I have a glow in the dark tat is white to start.

Glow in the dark, could be neat. I wonder if changing it to negative images were the light parts would be thicker, if it would glow more than the thinner parts making it a proper positive image once glowing.

Cura doesn't have mine either. It wasn't hard to program it though. I just adjusted the bed size, nozzle, and filament diameter. The rest is more dependent on your filament choice and the calibration tests.

I feel like you might lose a lot with the glow in the dark but it'd be a cool experiment.

glow in the dark after sparkle. we'll find out.

probably want a smooth bed too right?

Printing them standing up. You get better detail in the prints.

I stopped mine at 35%. The 20% infill is VERY noticeable.

So how it renders from the sight?

This was laying flat

There are a lot of infill lines.

 

[Mschmidt]

Trying standing now.

 

[stoney7713]

If you don't want the frame 100% infill, doing 4 walls should prevent infill being in the print. 4 walls at .4 is 1.6 for a total 3.2 (4 walls on either side) depending on your print width settings.

I also halved (dropped every dimension 50%, so quartered) the size for the test so it's 2mm thick. I might kick up the extrusion multiplier if the standing has the same problem. we'll know in 20.

It looks so bare...

Nooo! Now there is no more color pop!

Room for more coral!

Been running for a few hours, here's what this meter reads sitting next to my printer. Printing PETG. I also have a large room HEPA filter within 10 ft of the printer.

Are the VOCs elevated from normal?

 

[tbrown]

It's weird... I think my Speed Tower test doesn't work. The speed doesn't seem to increase at all....? It was supposed to start at 20 (setting I had as the Speed in Cura, then TweakAtZ every 12.5mm bumping the speed up 20. Speed seems consistent from layer 1 to 42.6mm so far. No noticeable increase in speed, no decrease in print quality....

 

[tbrown]

When I print from the Gcode provided it messes everything up for some reason so I just downloaded the STL and did my own TweakAtZ codes. Uses my temps, settings, and retraction stuff.

 

[stoney7713]

Are the VOCs elevated from normal?

Nope not really. It use to set in the kitchen and cooking or anything like that would make it spike. But it normally is 1-5. It's dropped but the printer is also on a very slow part of the print.

I'll monitor it when I crank it up to 400mms with another print.
