Hello
im trying to print a simple rectangular block of dimensions x,y,z : 190:230:100mm

With a simple infill like pattern of rectangle 8mm by 1mm and spacing of 0.2mm

The slicer spends a crazy amount of time to generate the g-code and crazy time 8days

And imho when i was designing the part i thought of making the slicer’s life easier but ended up the other way 😆

now im thinking of righting my own g-code or there is any easier way please let me know.
Thanks everyone

Hi there! It sounds like your model is quite large and complex, which is why it's taking the slicer so long to generate the g-code. One thing you can try is reducing the layer height or increasing the print speed to speed up the print time. However, keep in mind that these changes can also affect print quality.

Writing your own g-code is certainly an option, but it can be time-consuming and requires some knowledge of g-code syntax. Instead, you can try optimizing the model before slicing it. Here are some suggestions:

Reduce the number of infill patterns or use a simpler infill pattern, like a grid or honeycomb.
Decrease the number of walls and/or top and bottom layers.
Increase the nozzle size or layer height (if possible) to reduce the number of layers.
Split the model into multiple parts that can be assembled later.

Hope these suggestions help!

What slicer do you use?

look into fullcontrol maybe where you can generate this shape algorithmically. It has a lot of direction changes so you may have only very short segments so the printer will never reach high speeds due to acceleration limits.
