Hi All!
First I am new to 3D-Printing;-)
I got my 3D-Printer yesterday (Raise3D N2). So far, so good.
After printing some cubes to see how the printer works I started a little model.
It was a tube with a solid mount onto it.
The tube went fine so far but the mount did fall off the tube!
The slicer (IdeaMaker) did not see any errors in the model.
Any tips?
Thanks in advance!
Post the tube STL file, will take a look.
what he said :-)
Hi!
Thanks for the offer - pls. find stl attached.
Have a godd time!
Did you use supports? The top mounts will just try to print in mid air as they just appear (i.e.they great an overhang that is too big. ). Try supports and see what happens.
Looking at this in S3d, there are also the construction artifacts that i noted in this thread ( http://3dprintboard.com/showthread.p...slicing-in-S3D ) but not in cura. I removed ideamaker from my system, so do not know what that layer looks like.
Presently I am Printing the STL you supplied of course I was not intending to print the whole model just the bottom layers.
I do not see a problem. This model prints fine and appears to be strong enough
I can see the the model is 1 tube and 8 Ears in separated, thou when I slice using Cura 15.04.6 It appears the model slices as a solid one piece model.
Meshmixer shows the model has 8 errors, 1 for each of the Ears to be repaired.
Would ask what slicer you are using and the what settings you are using to slice this model.
I took the two crescent wrenches and could not break the Ears off with a moderately strong force. It did however brake with a strong force in about the middle of the Ear.

RC, he is using IdeaMaker as the slicer https://www.raise3d.com/pages/ideamaker
Im also thinking he is having problems on the upper supports, as he says "The tube went fine so far but the mount did fall off the tube!" , but perhaps i'm reading into it.
I was just testing the Ears. as far as the upper ears with Proper Support they should be just a strong as the lower ears.
I downloaded IdeaMaker. Just sliced it there. Here is wat it looks like. I think it has the same issues as S3D with the construction artifacts. I think the slicer is making it weaker.

I would agree. A s Cura 15.04.6 look like this. I wish Cura Had a better display like IdeaMaker

Downloaded IdeaMaker could not find a way to slice that the Ears were not disconnected. Will research.
Is that layer mode? Anyway, Cura 2.7 looks like this. Much better.

But still will need supports
I have All Cura's Just use the 15.04.6Quote:

When ready to print there will be a little green check-mark in the lower right hand window.
And I like the Fact that I can add Manually add supports.

Thank you
Hello again,
actually I noticed that ideamaker (which I use, don't know how to set up Cura for my raise3d N2) is
damaging the model when using the repair function.
It seems to be that the STL-files created from SketchUp are somewhat crappy.
Really should try to get my feet wet in a better CAD-SW... But I do not like Fusion3D and
Blender confuses me even more...
The lower mounts came out quite well, yes.
Thanks for testing the strength of it - maybe I should make the tube a bit stronger;-)
I tried a print w. Raise3D-PLA @ 215°C, Standard-Profile from Raise3D (Standard - N2 - PLA).
Did not use supports - the way this prints I thought that would not be necessary..?
Hello;
I found this Forum, If you follow the instructions you can Import profiles into Cura.
I imported these into Cura 2.6.2, this will give you the ability to use Cura with your Raise3D
