Geetec 95A. I dried it for 20 hours and it has been in a drybox at 10%. Terrible surface finish and stringing for days.
I’m going to dry for 18 hours and try a k factor calibration tomorrow because whenever the layer stops I get the blobs and zits.
Any other advice? Half tempted to print white the dryer is on too. But that might clog
So I’ve been using Geeetech also. The upper cushion I only use the default supports on the bottom end curves, But I also removed all the holes. I use three wall loops, avoid crossing walls, 5 bottom shelf layers. That is about it. 0.4 nozzle, walls set to 35 mms. travel 400 and all accelerations at 500 on my A1 Bed slinger and last cushion was nearly perfect. A few clips with the nippers and done.
I’m jealous
If the holes serve no purpose then maybe I should print your version. Where can I find it?
I’m looking, I think the shared drive?
Let me know how it looks when you slice it.
I am using Overture TPU 95A - Dryed for 10 hours at 70C and then printing from the dryer while drying is still on.
What help me to get really nice finish is to change retraction to 1mm from 0.4mm and also changing the volumetric flow from 3.6mm/s to 2.4mm/s - Yes it prints slower but the surface is amazing.
Printing on A1 and X2D. (RED is PLA as support interface)
I need to setup supports in those holes with PLA - that looks excellent!
I’m going to use overture for the next chair. Everyone seems to have success with that brand
I need an X2D. Good idea with the supports not on the build plate.
looks good to me. I did some TPU tuning and slowed down a little bit so its going to take 18 hours. Fingers crossed
Absolutely mint.
Did a k factor calibration, used settings someone else posted, and slowed down my volumetric speed. Took 18 hours to print with 3 walls, 2% infill. But it’s worth it. I might want to redo the bottom cushion now.
Very nice that looks great, you can’t rush TPU.
Seriously. I went with the TPU profile that came with the files but this worked great.
Mind sharing how you setup the PLA supports? I painted them on and somehow can’t get them to generate. I’m missing something.
I don’t remember exactly but I think it was set to normal support style - manual - snug, nothing on the buildplate and PLA as interface - rest of the settings did slicer for me like it always does when you change your interface material like Z gap, interface pattern, interface layers = 3.
In general just play with those settings untill the support looks like you want.
Very nice! Can you share what you changed in the end? Or was this standard but K factor tuned?
