Hyrel Sample Prints: Davo's Three Resolution Test Print

[Davo]

I designed a new test print last week. The bottom (longest) section is printed with 400 micron layers; the middle section with 200 micron layers, and the top section has 100 micron layers. Each section is 4mm thick.

Here are some pics of it:

Over 300 views, no comments... can you folks see the images?

I can see them just fine. Very nice quality and it has a didactic value in itself.

yep definitely looks like a block of plastic printed at different layer resolutions :-)

the bump side does look kinda rough, particularly for the .1mm top print.
what material were you using ?

And what slicer can do this?

[curious aardvark]

any slicer can do that - if you print one file after another. Would be pretty easy to do with makerware. But in 3 prints not one.
But I'm guessing the onboard hyrel computer has it's own propriatary slicer.

So the separate prints must know to keep the same Z height between prints.

Looks good, I hope my printer ships this month ...

We use the standard current version of Slic3r.

I generated three gcode files, then combined header1, body1, body2, body3, and footer3 into one file.
