Hilbert Curve surface finish with a round of ironing afterwards makes for a quite good surface finish even with just 0.3mm and 15% infill.

#PrusaSlicer #3DPrinter #3DPrinting

Sometimes you've just to try things. Like I wanted to know what the "ironing" setting in #PrusaSlicer does. So I just tried it. And well I'm glad I only read the documentation AFTER I sent it to the printer, as otherwise I probably wouldn't even have tried to use it together with just 30% infill as the documentation says it is for 100%.

However it appears to turn out surprisingly well so far. So lets keep it running and check again.

83 hours of printing later and I have the last piece of the puzzle.

Just super glue, filler and sanding to do now.

#RepRap #FisherDelta #PrusaSlicer #3Dprinting

Big kudos to #prusa for their slicing software. I was able to go into #prusaslicer where i had a full sheet of 36 whistles printing, and remove one mid print that was going to come loose. (pretty sure I had a greasy thumbprint there...)

I just save the rest of the full sheet print of 35 by being able to pause it, remove the single messed up one from the sheet, and remove that item from the slicer and have it not print that one any more on resume.

#preFlight is a new open source slicer by oozeBot based on #PrusaSlicer but with deep rework of its internal code.
- Truely 64bit
- GCode processing in memory
- Athena perimeter generator improving over Arachne
- Interlocking perimeters similar to brick layers
- Deeper #RRF integration
- . . .

#3dprinting #slicer

I’m about to do my first 3D prints, what’s the best #slicer for Linux? I’ve heard of #PrusaSlicer (C++/WxWidgets) and #Ultimaker #Cura (Python/QML), do you have any recommendation?

(If there was an official Linux release, I’d start with PrusaSlicer by default, but I’m wondering if it’s worth the trouble to build it from source as it relies on an unstable version of WxWidgets…)

I've been making an effort to use #freecad more. This week has been using the #gridfinity workbench to make some socket organizers. #printables is full of them, but it's quick and easy enough to draw up exactly what I need quickly and drop it into #prusaslicer and send it to my #Prusa XL.

FreeCAD has come a long way in a short time and the roadmap for 1.1 looks like it hasn't lost any momentum.
