Ok to get the ball rolling on new slicer starting parameters.
- find and set Z offset to the slicers equivalent of Set position command: G92 Z0.1 - I think slicers usually handle this as some variation of z offset = -.01 this will squish the first layer somewhat for better adhesion
- find where the slicer sets an initial speed and set it to 20 mm/s for 3 layers (60mm/s thereafter?)
- find where the slicer controls bed temperature and raise it to 66C for PLA on a glass bed
- find where the slicer controls initial fan speed and turn it off until layer 4, or speed is 0 until layer 3 or however slicer handles that
- find where slicer controls fans general speed and make sure will be on at 100% at layer 4
- find retraction and set to 5mm and speed to 65 (tested for PLA on my D3)
- load .slt
- slice and save
- re-wash glass. dry glass. wipe with vinegar. allow to dry. begin preheat to 200 on each nozzle and 66 on bed. apply thin layer of glue
- when pre-heated, transfer file and print.
- watch printer beautifully lay down perfect foundation layer.
- get coffee.
- clean up PLA spaghetti mess and retrieve and photograph first layer debris from floor for post-mortem discussion.
This is just a skeleton. I know I need more and I really hope this leads to improvements I can use to to get past these issues and back to actually completing new prints. thanks guys!Last edited by minneapolis-matt; 05-16-2021 at 12:54 PM.
