So this took - some work. I’’m not quite done, and did install the BL slicer where I think everything including the accessories (headrest mount, headrest, push handles) is laid out very well, but I wanted to organize into both colors and grouping things, checking filament usage, etc. I also upped the wall/perimeter and top/bottom layer, and used 20% infill in some objects for general sanity.
Let me tell you - there are still some files just missing outside of the BL 3MF, and this took a bit of effort. I also have a silly plate count limitation on current Prusa Slicer (I think it’s 9 plates max per project), so had to split the whole thing into 3, track down missing pieces - I think most of the buckles and strap PETG bits are only in the BL 3mf, and I think there was at least one other part.
Anyways, yeah, with current settings, assuming I’m not in fact still missing some parts or part counts, I come out pretty much at 11 spools of PETG. This is using added walls/top/bottom and 15% infill or 20% infill, adaptive cubic or gyroid depending on the part, and supports. I’m finalizing the color plan on the TPU, but am currently slightly over 2kg, so may need to make minor adjustments or pick up more TPU.
I suppose the Lap Strap was part of the MG submission, so I can deduct that one, but considering that was off the spool of TPU I had on hand, it still may be close at 2 spools of TPU.
If I get a bit, may try to call out the full list of missing objects and potentially publish the 3MFs if anyone wants them.
You should be able to open the bambu 3mf file for the complete chair in another slicer. I have opened it in 2 others. I had to move a few parts around but all the settings and support stuff was still there for me.
If you downloaded all of the file, the TPU stuff is in a separate folder, and the cushions are all in the step files folder, which you should be able to open in your slicer as well.
And no settings for the most part, or at least not complete. Either the per object settings from BL slicer don’t come in as per object in PS, or they’re set at the device level, which of course I don’t have a compatible BL device.
It’s been on my ‘one of these days’ list to go play with a few other slicers, but meanwhile I’ve sorted it using the BL slicer to export the missing STLs, checking settings etc.
PrusaSlicer 3.0 is supposedly inbound not too far off, but it’s definitely extra steps to get this going as it is right now.
Amazon and McMaster-Carr parts are here, while Schoolhouse shipping is a week+ after ordering so it ‘should’ arrive next week, but starting on the print with on-hand supplies this weekend.
That is one of the few slicers I haven’t used much so my mistake on that one. I know Orca and Qidi Studio both open it just fine. The 9 plate limit is a real bummer.
Yeah, I’ve got a nice list of enhancement requests filed on their GitHub; we’ll see what happens with 3.0. You’d think as nearly all of them are forked off from Prusa they’d keep up, but, well - I got nothing.
Once I get things cleaned up and printed, or if anyone asks, I’ll do some quick notes and make my ‘Prusa version’ of the 3-4 3mfs I split it up into if it helps anyone get printing the chair more quickly.
I’m about to start printing my first 3DTMT and will be doing it all in Prusa slicer as well.
Is there any guide anywhere that lists what parts are to be printed in which material and preferred settings or is it entirely a reverse engineer from Bambu Slicer project?
It’s reverse engineered. You could probably use orca slicer nightly build as that now has the core one and core 1 L (assuming you’re using one of those). If not, send me a mil via the feedback link here (ignore it a bit as it’s WIP/not quite launched) and I’ll just send you my current 3MFs. https://3dsupplyfinder.com - then feedback link.
