Got some nice Christmas ornaments printed out.
100% infill needs your extruder flow calcs to be spot on - Extruder ratios, volumetric stuff, all of it. No room for expansion.Question here to troubleshoot a print.
It's not a large piece (figure about full hand-sized). When I print it at 15% infil, it comes out just fine and dandy - very accurate. But I'd like it to be 100% infil. It's not stringing, but the layers seem to be sliding around and/or warping...
What kind of parameters should I be looking at?
Temps seem find, but maybe speed? extrusion rates? I am slicing with Creality Slicer 1.2.3 (seems to work the best with my Creality Pro 10S).
I reimported the gcodes to see if I could tell you the parameters for each print, but Creality Slicer only remembers your last inputs.
Perhaps I need to figure out how to use Prusaslicer or Ulitmaker Cura. Last time I tried either, they completely bonked on the print bed. User Error I am sure!
Thanks in advance.
If it is for nothing more than looks, I print at 10%
cheaper/faster

Stepover depends on line width. If your printer extrudes more than the slicer thinks, there is nowhere for the excess material to go. Less material extruded and you wont get a good bond line to line. You tune that with extrusion ratio/multiplier, or in the printer settings. I'm not a big fan of Cura, but you can make it work. Prusaslicer would be the way to go if it works with your printer.Part needs to be structural.
I can play around but I am unfamiliar with what you're describing with regards to a hobby level printer. I understand the words, but I don't understand the application. What is the definition of "extruder ratio"? Also, "volumetric stuff" is a rather expansive term.
Just looking for more inputs to fuck around with, so no offense.
I'm also thinking I need an enclosure. Little barbie bits or toys for my daughter come out fine, but when I want something real, I spend way too much time on wasted parts that took a 24hr grow.
Also note, throwing the scraps into the woodstove is probably not the best way to dispose. They do burn, but the stove better be hot!![]()

ABS, correct? or PLA (seems doubtful).Kids have been digging the vapor smoothed toys. Same filament, one just spent a couple of hours with an acetone soaked paper towel.
