Reducing print time to lowest possible.
I am developing a table top game (which also has a free to play digital component) that I am maximizing print time efficiency for in order to use my printers for production of the game.
I have taken the following steps to minimize print time to it's absolute lowest (while preserving acceptable quality)
- Made big game pieces hollow
- Did away with all automatic raft, replacing it with 0.2mm versions only where absolutely needed.
- Used custom support material consisting of easy to remove 1mm rods
- Used 3% infill
- Used 0.4mm layer height (this has stopped working recently)
This was all done within the parameters of Makerware...
Now I am looking into using Slic3r to optimize print time even further.
Is there a slicing profile that will absolutely give me the fastest print time while still having acceptable quality?
I am using a Makerbot Replicator 2.
Thanks
