AI Help

To reduce filament usage, you can try adjusting the infill density, layer height, or shell thickness in your slicing software. You can also consider hollowing out the model or using a smaller nozzle size for finer details. Additionally, using a different type of filament, such as a lightweight or flexible material, may help reduce the amount of filament used. Feel free to experiment with these settings to achieve your desired result.

You need to shave off that weight, yes?

Lower infil amount, it can help

[foggy cedar]

this is almost 0 infill

[jaunty mountain]

he said in general he doenst want it weaker

[steady shoal]

Hm, then eating less carbs?

Should drop the weight decently fast

[pure pagoda]

I was thinking of shaving it off the supports but I dont know how

[foggy cedar]

actually thats gotta be like

20g of support interface lol

ok 4g nvm

[pure pagoda]

well.... large area to support

but the interface doesnt use much

[foggy cedar]

I mean ideally for something of this shape you'd print the other way up and then you'd only need minimal support but that pattern ruins that

[foggy cedar]

I'd just cut the wall count a 🤏

[pure pagoda]

well the other would use more support right?

[foggy cedar]

it'd be impossible to print that detail on the bottom, so doesnt really matter

[worldly carbon]

have you tried lowering Line width? afaik that lowers filament usage (a lot) but it also takes longer to print

[foggy cedar]

but you can design stuff to not need supports

[pure pagoda]

not possible with this shape

[foggy cedar]

the thing is that'll be even lower strength

they want as strong with less weight which is basically impossible apart from removing some support material

[formal harbor]

cut one milimeter off of the top

[worldly carbon]

oh I see

[pure pagoda]

I might turn of alternate extra wall?

[foggy cedar]

not gonna do anything

there's a pattern on the top so it'll just remove like 0.2g

[formal harbor]

I accidentally turned off supports so my math was off anyway

[foggy cedar]

that + removing 1 wall loop as well should be enough

[golden juniper]

Idk the model, but could changing support type help?

[foggy cedar]

nah

they're using tree and normal is 40g heavier

[golden juniper]

Mm

[pure pagoda]

hmmm I can get it to 254g without removing walls

[foggy cedar]

I think you can get it down to sub 250 by just removing double walled trees

yeah

242

[pure pagoda]

wait that is a defualt?

[foggy cedar]

set this to 0

bottom of supports tab

actually might not be a thing in bambu I'm in orca

[pure pagoda]

what did you change on this?

[pure pagoda]

this is orca

[formal harbor]

ORCA: Support Normal, Style: Grid, Base Pattern Spacing: 10, Top interface layers: 1, Top interface spacing: 1

[foggy cedar]

spacing 10 is

😬

[formal harbor]

and cut off 1 mm off of the top 😄

[foggy cedar]

not the most ideal

[golden juniper]

Snug supports do anything?

[formal harbor]

Base Pattern Spacing, how far the grid is apart....you do not care how the inside looks and its just a big long bridge anyways

[formal harbor]

the whole thing is not ideal

[foggy cedar]

I know what grid spacing is
and 10mm does not give ideal results

[golden juniper]

Ideal would be using 2 spools of filament for big prints

[formal harbor]

ah thats how it was meant

yeah sure

[foggy cedar]

I think they lack the filament entirely

[pure pagoda]

how important is a brim for PC?

[pure pagoda]

yes

[golden juniper]

Oh this is in pc... oh boy

[formal harbor]

on a bambu P1S

[jaunty mountain]

wonderful

[foggy cedar]

is that bad for pc?

[formal harbor]

what PC area you printing and did you print that before

[formal harbor]

depends on the filament

[golden juniper]

My problem isnt that it's a p1s, my problem is it seems like they have no experience with it

[formal harbor]

and how blended it is

[pure pagoda]

yeah printed a good benchy with it. It is a pc mix from overtrue

[formal harbor]

fine then

[pure pagoda]

preheat the chamber to 60c

[formal harbor]

remains to be seen🤷

[jaunty mountain]

presliced one?

[pure pagoda]

no

[formal harbor]

not in PC 😄

[foggy cedar]

?? since when are PC presliced files a thing lol

[pure pagoda]

Statas might but other then that idk

[golden juniper]

Kinda unrelated to og question, but what are these for?

[pure pagoda]

florida dude

[foggy cedar]

20% branch density with no double walls seems basically perfect

[pure pagoda]

this should work thanks!

will update this thread somtime tommorow when it prints

[foggy cedar]

alright good luck

[pure pagoda]

thanks took me like 4-5 redsings to get this to line up with the orginal

update the print failed a few hours in due to supports coming loose. I cleaned the plate and changed the tree supports to strong. Lost 70g of mat but I supposed that cant be helped.

printing good now though

Turned out great but support removal was a pain.
