Thanks for making this series of videos. They are great for beginners like me. After slicing the model, you used the sliders on the right side to go through the layers. At the same time, the G-code for each layer was displayed on the left side. How did you turn on G-code display? I could not find anything in the menus to do it. Is it possible to edit the G-code as one goes through the layers? I am trying to print a temperature tower and would like to change the extruder temperature for each level of the tower.

@3DRevolution 6 ай бұрын

Hey, really sorry about the late reply. I'm really glad you enjoy the video, thanks for the comment! With the gCode preview, it only plays back when running through the length of each layer. So the slider on the side of the screen takes you through each of the layers, and then when you get to a specific layer, there's a similar bar on the bottom of the screen. As you scrub through that, the gCode will display. For editing gCode, you have a few options, but directly editing in that preview isn't possible. Depending on what you want to do, there's a section under 'Print Settings > Output options > Other' called "G-code substitutions". In here you can effectively do a find and replace on certain commands, figures or content on the gCode. That may be what you're after.

@kevinwhite2478 9 ай бұрын

Nice Video I have a model that prints too thin ( shell ) I have tryed adding more perimeters and the shell dosn't alter, in the preview mode, is this the correct way to increase the shell thickness or will it have to be done in the cad drawing.

@3DRevolution 8 ай бұрын

Thank you, and really sorry for the late reply. I hope you've solved your issue now but if not let's see if I can help. The first thing to check is that the shell thickness is only relevant to a solid object (let's say you just put a solid box in there. If however the model you were slicing was cup shaped, you wouldn't be able to make the walls of the cup thicker in the slicer, you'd want to change your original model.

I'm going to purchase a Prusa mini plus. Can you please tell me, how do I turn a regular image (say a bird or phoenix) and make it 3d? From 2d to 3d? Excellent video, ty.

@3DRevolution Жыл бұрын

Hey, glad you liked the video, and I've no doubt you'll absolutely love your Prusa Mini Plus. Regarding how to convert a standard 2D image into a 3D model, it depends what sort of complexity you're talking. If you just wanted an extrusion of the shape (so a square on a piece of paper would become a 3D cube), then the most direct way is to import it into a 3D design software like Fusion 360, trace the shape and then extrude it into a model. If however you wanted to create a truly 3D shape (for example of a bird as per your suggestion), you're at that point bascally talking about full on 3D design. It does depend slightly on the file type of your image as if it's a vector file (SVG) you won't need to trace it, you should be able to just import it into a CAD application and extrude it.

@3DRevolution 6 ай бұрын

Are you trying to move or scale it? If you're trying to move it, are you trying to move it up or down? There are issues with moving something up or down. Up: You can't print something in mid-air so if you drag it up, it will snap back down to the bed. Down: If you move something down, then part of the model will be positioned below the print bed, which also isn't possible. If you wanted to only print the top of something, use the cut tool (I've covered how to do this in a video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMp5bK5p0ZmcmGw.htmlsi=gMtKj-q_uV--JOeL)

@3DRevolution 5 ай бұрын

Hey Robin, when you say it won't show like I have in the video, is it greyed out and unclickable? This is usually because there's some element of your setup that won't work (like your object is not placed on the build plate but off to the side). If you could grab a screenshot of your project, upload it somewhere and link here I can take a look, but I'm not sure how quickly I'll be able to take a look. Just so you know, channel members get access to the 3D Rev discord community, and also a more direct line of communication with me for help, that may be easier than on KZfaq comments. However, I am always happy to help anyone on here, members or not. Once you send over a screenshot I'll take a look.

@3DRevolution Жыл бұрын

Make sure you've not already sliced the model. Click on the cube in the bottom left (not the cube made of multiple layers) and try again. If you still can't move it by clicking and dragging it (which you should be able to do), try activating the move tool which is the top tool on the bar on the left (a square with a triangle on each side), and try dragging one of the arrows that appears on your model.

Absolutely. Once you've set your printer up, in PrusaSlicer, go to the 'Printer Settings' tab, and in the 'General' sub tab, the second item down under 'Size and Coordinates' is "Max print height". It's worth noting that this is designated as an advanced setting though so you need to ensure that the Advanced or Expert tab at the top right is selected first for this option to be displayed.

No you can use any PLA. The different profiles of a particular material are just fine tweaks to the settings that allow for optimum printing of that exact filament manufacturer. But regardless, you can just edit the settings to whatever you want. Presets are just timesaving options that set up everything for a known material. But you can also create your own presents

Hmm that is odd. First thing to check, go to the "Printer Settings" tab at the top and check that our printer is selected in the dropdown box under the tabs. If it isn't select your printer, but if it is selected, or if your printer isn't available as an option from the drop-down menu, select 'Add/Remove printers' and follow the steps to re-add your printer. That should hopefully work, but if it's still not working for you, cou could try re-installing PrusaSlicer as that should solve any issue hidden in the background that's causing this.

How do i start the print???

@3DRevolution 5 ай бұрын

It entirely depends what printer you have. For the majority of printers, you don't start a print from the slicer. A slicers job is to take the 3D model, the physical properties of your printer, and your desired settings, and to export a list of instructions for your printer to follow in the form of a .gcode file. For the majority of printers, you then want to take that file, place it on the SD card or MicroSD and inset it back in your printer, turn it on, load the filament you want to use, select the file and start the print. But that process all depends on the make and model of printer you have.

This tutorial wasn't really indending to suggest specific settings (more for giving an understanding of what all the settings are so you can choose them yourself) as you'll want to use different settings depending on what printer you're using, what type of filament you're using (and from which supplier), what model you're printing, and what results you want from that model. The 3DBenchy is designed to be intended as a test design to see how your printer runs with certain settings and filaments, so there is no correct settings for that. However, as I mentioned, it also depends what printer and material you're using. If it's your first print, just use one of the presets in PrusaSlicer (making sure you select the correct filament that you're using), and then you can adjust any settings you need to based on the results of that print.

Can ya use prusa slicer for any FDM printer

@3DRevolution 4 ай бұрын

Yes, most slicers aren't printer specific so you can use them with pretty much any FDM printer. On some printers there may be specific functions that are exclusively available to their prefered or own brand slicer, but for the most part, any FDM slicer will work with any FDM printer.

@@monsterstorm78You can do multi-colour prints. If you're using a single extruder and want to set the filament to request a change on certain layers, you can follow my video here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/od-inq2TqdLHnX0.html If you're using a multi-material printer such as the Prusa XL, you need to set up a printer with multiple extruders and assign each colour to each extruder.

As in cutting the model into multiple parts to fit your print area?

@@smallnuts2 Really sorry for the late reply. KZfaq isn't great at notifying me about replies to comments, only root level comments. So, the Cut feature doesn't currently have the ability to make a cut at an angle, but what you want to do is still possible. If you first select the model you want to cut, and select the rotate tool, then rotate it by 45 degrees along the X or Y axis, then switch to the cut tool. The cut plane is always level with the bed, so if you angle your model first, it will allow you to cut your model at the relative angle you're after. Thanks for highlighting this though. I'll aim to do a short tutorial on the Cut tool specifically within the next week or so and will include how to cut at angles etc.

Every time I run this programme, it crashes my printer :/

@3DRevolution 6 ай бұрын

When you say it crashes your printer every time you run this programme, do you mean your printer needs to re-start after booting this programme and it connecting to your printer, or do you mean if you slice a print with PrusaSlicer and run it on your printer, it causes the toolhead to crash into something?

@@3DRevolution sorry, I should be more clear. Whenever I’m done with all my editing and setting up, then I hit the slice button and it starts processing. It gets to about 60 percent through and my screen goes black and the computer does an automatic shut down and reboot!
