RE: The 3D Slicer WILL Humble You

[davidke20]

Not a 3D printing guy, but generally, those cracks seems to be unavoidable given the kinetics movement the machine is emitting. The nature of 3D printing business is having the host moving around the printed object. Just like a normal dot matrix printer having cracks on the rollers mounts from what I see. Having said that, making high heat tolerance part could solve the problem? Carbon fibre? But that defeat the purpose of 3D print right? That's like 1 D, human manual work 😂

Very good insight and comment!

The short answer is with faster print moves, this kinetics movement becomes more of an issue. Since my printer is super slow, there's (seems to be) virtually no impact from the movements. Heat could be an issue with certain prints with PLA, but I've been lucky there. Over time I will get more clarity on the long term impacts of these kinetic movements.

There are both benefits to printing slower, and drawbacks. The major drawbacks are time efficiency, and issues with retraction settings. The major benefits are crisper looking prints with better layer adhesion and shinier surface. Another benefit is the velocity for print moves is slower, and overall printer wobble/shake is reduced. This is good because it reduces wear on belts and roller wheels, reduces wear and strain on stepper motors, and reduces strain on printed parts like this fixture as well as glued parts on the fixture.

This is a paragraph from my newest 3D print post. Your comment here influenced me to talk about it a bit.

Thank you for the great feedback and support as always bro.
