Could you point me to some images of the u shaped or triangular cross section? I'm having trouble visualizing it.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Thanks for the pointers. I tried 45 print, and the vertical part broke off within the first inch or so lol. Should have tried at low speeds, because until it broke, it looked pretty good. May be that filet could have made it not break off that way.

I definitely want to get better, which is why I'm asking for feedback on the model as well. Please give me some tips and tricks to think and plan for efficient models that are best suited for 3d printing. How would you recommend I modify this model?

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 1 points 16 hours ago

Interesting, I'll try that.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 1 points 16 hours ago

I tried with 50% speed, and even silent option which is even slower. Still happened. May be a hexagonal pattern might work better. I just want to build a simple photo frame that one can print without supports, and one that uses minimal filament.

Yeah the front looks great, but I feel like it's not good enough with an ugly back

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I was thinking of that before posting that, but wanted to check if it's something wrong with my printer before that

What about the channel to insert the photo? Wouldn't that become an overhang if laid flat?

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Printing the upright part flat on the bed is tricky, because it has a 0.75mm channel running through it for the photos. Wouldn't that cause overhang issues, or is it too small to be a problem?

 

Designing a simple photo frame. I wanted to make it so that it prints without supports. While printing, however, the back support part wobbles/vibrates with movement, and is printing terribly.

Ender 3v3 CoreXZ, PolyTerra matte black filament, using the CR-PLA Matte profile in Creality Print 7. Tried printing at slow speeds, the issue still persists.

I've tried making the back support with only 45 degree angles (previously it was an x diagonal), made it thicker (from 0.75mm to 1.5mm). Nothing is working. Please find the stl and 3mf here (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7281179).

Is this a printer issue, a model issue, or a slicer issue? Please advise.

It was printed lying down. I'll add the model and slicer screenshot after I get home

ah. I'll try that, thanks.

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

sorry, ender3v3 corexz, polyterra matte pla, 0.4 mm nozzle size

 

 
 

Tried printing the frog from this set at 75% scale, and it came out like this. The original 3mf for this one doesn't include supports. What should I adjust on my printer to get better overhangs without supports?

 

Added a PEI plate for my Artillery Genius using bull clips, and after leveling the leveling/adhesion test print comes out like this. Is this just me leveling the bed too close to the nozzle, or is it the pei plate not heating up as much as the original glass bed? It's at 60c btw

 
 

 

 

I was having serious leveling issues with my Ender 3v3 (https://programming.dev/post/42345126), and I tried so many different things like probe calibration and even total factory reset before I finally figured out what the issue was. The z axis camera mount that I added. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6702771. Taking it off fixed the bed leveling issues right away, and after wasting half a spool, I'm finally able to print my rookie designs. Thanks for all your help and advice! I'm so happy to see such an active 3d printing community on lemmy.
