Thin walls in Simplify3D
Posted: April 3rd, 2016, 12:00 pm
Hi guys
Finally I decided to buy me a copy of Simplify3D.
My first attemp was rather a failure.
While I think I got most of the settings more or less right, I must have set something very wrong for the line width / nozzle size.
I acutally want to print with a 0.8mm nozzle. So first attemp: set 0.8mm for the nozzle size and 1.00 for the multiplier. That results in a missing thin wall (originally 0.8mm, but also with 0.85mm). So I googled the problem and found the solution to set a smaller nozzle size and correct with the multiplier. So I set 0.5mm for the nozzle size and 1.60 for the mutliplier. Then I got something like 0.6mm for the automatic line width; this must be larger, so I set it manually to 0.8mm. Slicing was ok but the print was completely overextruded.
Can someone please explain me how I have to do the settings in S3D to print a one line width wall?
Btw: Cura 2.1 can now produce single line walls...
