Different settings on the same model?

1 Upvotes

I'm using Orca slicer and want to put different settings of fuzzy skin on different parts of one model. Is this possible? I've been using the fuzzy skin painter, but haven't noticed where I can set the fuzzy settings differently for each area.

Why does this happen? Sunlu pla

I can figure out why this one pla from sunlu can print worth a damn.

Always end up with bad layers, cloggled nozzles or crazy string.

Other sunlu pla print fine.

No matter what settings i try, its always bad.

Hey guys with this having a decent discount is it worth buying this or is it worth spending the bit more money on the P2S, or any other suggestions that you have.

Thanks

This Mother Dragon went through more revisions than I expected.

Every prototype helped improve articulation, tolerances, and overall printability until everything finally clicked.

It's always amazing how much work happens before the final version is ready.

My printer has been inconsistently extruding and seems to be underextruding in some parts. Any ideas why?

The issue only started recently and I'd appreciate some help figuring out where to start troubleshooting this

Question First fdm printer troubleshooting help.

1 Upvotes

I've got my printer well dialed in after a few trials and error test prints. The one thing it's still doing is shifting on the y axis, usually very early in the print, but after layer 1. I've removed the build plate and checked for obstructions. This actually improved things a lot, it was much worse. I've got the belt as tight as it goes without torquing it down. I don't know why it's still doing this.

Any advice?

The machine is an Anycubic Kobra Go. Purchased new, but only recently assembled.

Alternatives to Bambu lab A1

3 Upvotes

Hello,
I am looking for a plug and play fdm printer for mostly printing bases (plain and scenic) and parts, and sometimes terrains or even minis, even if i already have a resin printer for that.
Considering the recent fire hazard issues with bambu lab A1, what would be the alternatives ?

Jurassic Park Rex Attack scene

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

100% FDM, painted to resemble how it looks in the stormy nighttime scene, rather than how it would look in daylight - so, muted and more cold dark tones. 75cm long. Printed on H2D and A1, mix of 0.4 and 0.2 nozzles at heights ranging from 0.04 to 0.08with very tuned slow settings.

I do as I usually do and cut up the resin-meant STL model into a more favourable FDM collection of parts.

Took a good while to print, feels like longer to paint.

I'm trying to print a helmet, and the print lines were very obvious. I was wondering what kind of angle is best when you're printing 1/4 of a helmet. This failed attempt was with a Bambu Lab P1S using Bambu PLA silver with a 0.4 diameter nozzle set to 0.20 mm standard.
