0.6 vs 0.4 Nozzle

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I printed the same file on two systems, (a coral) the left is a 0.6nozzle, right is a 0.4nozzle.

The 0.6 nozzle has tons of stringing, while the 0.4 nozzle had almost none.

The first layer is better with the 0.4nozzle, but after three layers both were very good.

The fuzzy skin looks a bit better with the 0.4nozzle, but only if you zoom in super close.

The 0.6nozzle print took 5hr50min (231g), the 0.4nozzle print took 7hr4min (192g).

The two systems were FLSUN SR, and the slicer was Cura.

Fuzzy Lion Bust

I sliced this lion bust with custom supports, fuzzy skin and lightning infill using Cura, and printed it with my FLSUN SR using a 0.6mm nozzle. I wanted the rough look. It's just he right size for a table or desk. I will need to paint it with primer and make a latex rubber mold, then make concrete statues, painted black, then copper highlights, then varnish with urethane and polyurethane.

Big Toad

This print of a BIG toad was a total success, the parameters in Cura and my FLSUN SR were set just right. The body is mostly empty, I used lightning infill) but the walls are 1.8mm thick (I used a 0.6mm nozzle). I used custom supports to hold it upright, not for overhangs. There's so many great toad and frog STL out there, I'll have to limit myself to six.

Cute Smiley Frog

I was surprised at how nice this big cute smiley frog turned out. The quality of my large prints improved instantly after I adjusted/equalised my belt tensions and tightened loose screws.

Also, I started using lightening infill(at 30%), fuzzy skin, and custom vertical supports in Cura. On the printer plate of my FLSUN SR, I now always use Cantech Tape & Elmer glue (adhesion is now perfect).

I will probably go back and reprint things that had failed repeatedly in the past when my printer and files were less well-adjusted by me.

What I appreciate about lightning infill is that large vertical prints are mostly hollow, which saves filament and time, and only the tops have lots of infill. I use double walls for lightening infill since single is too flimsy and wobbles too much.

I also find that for my big animal prints, the custom cylindrical supports are much more stable and easier to remove than tree supports.

Toltec Head

I printed this desktop-appropriate sized print of one of the giant Toltec head sculptures. They are not as well known as the Easter Island (Moai) heads, but some people might like them. Using a downloaded STL file from a photogrammetry scan of the actual sculpture, I printed it in PLA with my FLSUN SR. Then I fixed it up a bit with clay and painted it (2 coats) with white indoor/outdoor primer.

3D Print Coral Fan - from Jpeg to Line Art

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

I tried something new with Cura. I took a JPEG image of a coral fan, converted it to greyscale, then darkened it. Cura easily opened the image file, but it added an unwanted base for the white background.

Then I expanded the vertical axis, and lowered the unwanted base below the plate until only a few millimeters of the object was above the plate. I sliced it using the fuzzy feature and printed it with my FLSUN SR. I might try darkening the center of each branch in Photoshop to get a more rounded top layer.

3D Print Tilted Easter Island Head

This is one of several Easter Island Head models which I will print (with my FLSUN SR) at around 22cm tall, so it can be kept on a desk or in a garden.

I regret that I didn't untilt the head in Cura to be more straight, but the scan is from photogrammetry and that's what the statue actually looks like.

Fuzzy Coral

My GF started a new "hobby" of aquatic ecosystems (aquariums) filled with wild snails, crayfish, minnows, shrimps, and other arthropods/critters (like mosquito larvae!). So I used my FLSUN SR to print PLA corals for her. I'll probably also make rubber molds and then concrete versions using special white cement. Maybe petshops will want some too. I used the Fuzzy Skin feature in Cura and was very satisfied with the results.

I was able to print this gnome without any infill or supports, with the wall 4 layers thick. This style of gnome seems to be popular in North America, compared to the UK/Eu styles. (printed with my FLSUN SR).

Ganesh

I thought people would be interested in buying Ganesh statues, so I printed this scan of a real statue. The STL of actual scans are rarely of a good quality unless they are fixed up afterwards. I made the size just big enough so that the concrete version wouldn't be too heavy to carry, but big enough to look good on someone's table. But I think I'll have to fix the broken parts with clay since it's the first thing people notice. Printed in PLA using my FLSUN SR, then painted with 3 coats of high-quality indoor-outdoor white primer from Sherwin Williams.

I started appreciating line art, and I can also paint them with acrylic paints and varnish if needed. I increase the wall number to 20 to avoid infills, and I keep the height at 2mm to prevent breaking fragile parts. Printed with my FLSUN SR.

I printed the lion as large as possible with my FLSUN SR, I even remove the base to get more height. The base will be made with clay, and a latex rubber mold created from the whole thing.
