I really like that you actively explained why slowing down can be good. Other than printing TPU I find most people just want to blast it prints as quickly as possible and rarely do I find they focus on quality. It's almost like a competition with them. "I can print at 300mms". "Oh yeah? I print at 500mms". Frankly i would much rather a print that takes twice as long but looks fantastic and didn't fail than rocketing one out just so i can boast that I did it in 3 hours less than the next guy.

Unless you have a machine built for speed conventional printers aren’t going to give quality when you exceed 80mm & up. I’d rather tune & print slower & have a stunning print than a row of so so helmets that only look good from 6 feet away

This video has been really helpful! Especially loved the explanation on combing. I'm curious, what settings might be significantly different if printing PLA+ versus Silk?
@Darkwingdad 2 жыл бұрын
Honestly 90% of what I covered can be applied to pla & pla+ especially with temperatures. Temp/retraction tests are so important. Many people don’t find justice in the extra print time that combing, coasting, jerk/acc control offer because they are just going to sand and prep, which I totally get, so that is really your call. Things like ironing aren’t really needed but even in my raw prints I use combing within infill or not in skin, I’ve seen a significant reduction in zits,underextrusion and imperfections that saves me time using body fillers,puttys and repeat sanding. So happy to hear these are helping, the only thing you’ll lose out on using these for pla is it’ll take longer to print but less time to prep! Happy printing & thanks for watching!

The straps are on the inside of the helmet at the top of the back plate that is removable.

Hello, great videos, I'm still getting a slight failure, I used your recommended settings and I can see two issues: 1.-I seem to get more material on each layer than needed: I printed the benchy and the bottom letters are super thin like if the material was pushed outwards of its line. My e-steps are correct. 2.-On the overhang areas specially the front tip of the ship, the very corner curls up with each layer, which later gets hit by the nozzle and brakes the print in some areas. Any tips on how to avoid these? Thank you very much!

@Darkwingdad 2 жыл бұрын
These retraction settings are for Bowden, with direct drive it’s different. You’ll definitely want to do a calibration test, direct drive retraction distance is typically 0.5-2.0mm speed 25-35mm/s but do a retraction test to verify. The reason it’s clogging is 6.0mm is far too high of a retraction for the gear drive and it cannot retract it down fast enough. Lower the retraction distance and you should be ok

You seem to be the Silk PLA master! I usually print PETG on my Prusa and have that super dialed in for years! - But now for christmas I switched one machine over to a .4 nozzle and want to do some fun silk PLA prints for the kiddos. The main issue I am having printing a crystal dragon is all of the the overhangs seem to want to lift up and warp. So eventually the print fails because these warped tips collide with the nozzle and then create havoc. Adhesion is good. This is just an issue with heat or retraction settings is my guess - using ERYONE silk PLA. Any obvious pointers would be good. Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm new to 3d printing. I recently bought a FLSun SR with Silk PLA by SUNLU and as I ran out of the PLA that came with the 3d printer 2 days ago it was time to load that silk PLA in. Unfortunately, I've spent a part of my Saturday and my whole Sunday on trying to print a temp tower. The first layer and brim look good and seem well sticked to the hot bed then a few layers higher the model's right corners start to unstick from the bed and eventually lose all adhesion and screw the print. With the regular PLA I managed to print a pretty clean medium size Gangar/Venom without going through any testing prints after running into a few fails. I wanted to take the extra steps this time with the silk PLA but I can't even print a temp tower it's frustrating.

As a "Mature" woman who gets confused by all the bells and whistles, but loves to make 3D things on her printers, I would love it if someone could put all these tips and settings into a Cura profile that I could just upload into Cura. I tried to find everything, but I couldn't.

Are you sure enabling "Z Hop when Retracted" will not create stringing ? I believe in most Ender printers it will.
@Darkwingdad 7 ай бұрын
Not if your retraction is on point, doesn’t matter what machine it is, if your retraction isn’t in proper you’ll get stringing,that’s why we do retraction towers.

Another fellow has a video claiming that Z Hop can actually ruin the prints. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/at6pmNmTqtKreYk.html In this video he shows that Z hop doesn't seem to help in preventing parts from being hit by the nozzle My experience on a well calibrated ender 3 is that enabling Z Hop causes too much stringing dropping the quality of the print. Have you experienced a quality improvement with silk filaments (compared to the same print with the setting disabled) or actually helping the nozzle not hitting the parts or the supports when silk filament is involved ?

@@agrigor1 z hop is essential especially for flat surfaces getting not only smooth but uniformed. If not it will drag across the surface & works best with combing not in skin. I’ve done hundreds of silk prints, never once had an issue when using z hop when retracted in silk or non silk

So when I start printing it works for about 10 minutes then it clogs my machine what should I do to fix it my nozzle is at 210 should I just increase the print speed or something else because I followed everything to the letter

@@peebs2424 silk is great for items you don’t plan on sanding & painting, of course you can but if I want to build something that has a great finish with minimal visible pla lines ill go silk. I like use pla/pla+ if I’m sanding bc it’s more durable in the sanding process & ultimately cheaper. From a cost pov it’s silly to use silk to sand & paint bc you’ll need more infill as it’s a more delicate thermoplastic & your painting over that beautiful shine AND silk is $4-$8 more per roll than standard pla

@@Darkwingdad awesome, thanks the detailed explanation. So a couple examples: Mandalorian armour could be purely done in silk because it’s one color (metallic finish) vs iron man Armour which requires multiple colours. Is that a good way to think about it? Once again I’m brand new. Just bought my first printer (cr10s pro v2). Still dialing in the settings
