RE: The 3D Slicer WILL Humble You

in 3D Printing3 years ago

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.
