Mando helmet print time issue?

[mint schooner]

Hey All, I am confused after watching frankis awesome new mando helmet vid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d99KvGiynA&t=255s So he says he can print the helmet in 22hours?? he said he used a speed of 200mm and 0.1 layer height (on bambu) yet when I do these settings in cura for my QIDI-XMAX2 using 0.4mm nozzle still bought some 0.8 but havent had the guts to change it yet 😛 (with blocking the dome supports I cant seem to do less than 5+ days?? I Assumed doing 200mm would make it super fast, but its made it much longer what am I doing wrong? (ok so layer height obv adds but surely still should be way faster) I put adaptive layering on also hope someone can assist ta. ok and whats weirder still I did a helmet at 60 mm and 0.2 layer and that was 4days 14hrs (this is my second ever attempt at a mando helmet as I screwed sizing on first one! fitted the neighbors kid great tho so not a total loss lol 🙂 any advice thoughts greatly appreciated
here are the settins I tried to emulate via franks vid current , taking 5 days 3 hrs??

Block out the supports in the dome too that will cut down quite a bit

[mint schooner]

already done still 5days 3hrs

hence my confusion

[compact rampart]

can we got a full shot of cura

[mint schooner]

if it had the supports for dome id expect that porint time

sure np

[compact rampart]

you have .12 layer height.. thats the problem

Throw it to .28

[mint schooner]

frank said in vid he used 0.1

[compact rampart]

no way

maybe on his p1p

[mint schooner]

yup

yeah was bambu

thats better but i thought 0.28 would be more layer lines sanding work

[compact rampart]

that looks better

yeah you sacrifice time for that

[mint schooner]

thats fair

[drifting galleon]

I printed mine on 5% infil, took 2 days 9 hours, at 0.2, filament usage was half what you’ve got

[mint schooner]

yeah when he said 200mm and 0.1 i was like wtf

[compact rampart]

How many walls?

[mint schooner]

me?

[compact rampart]

ideally

[mint schooner]

lol 1 sec

[zealous rivet]

The two mando helmets I printed took roughly 36 hours .

.6 nozzle - 65mm/s - .28 layer height - 3 walls

With a .4 nozzle it shoots to 3 days

[compact rampart]

and speed?

[mint schooner]

200 mm terrifys me I image some shocing quality maybe should take that down for qidi xmax

[compact rampart]

im not sure what is standard for that printer.. but 200 seems insane

[mint schooner]

glad we agfree

[zealous rivet]

I’ve only heard of two printers hitting those speeds. Bamboo & flsun

[compact rampart]

I could probably get 3 days at 50

[mint schooner]

didnt wanna question the almighty frank ya know

[compact rampart]

Frank knows a lot but there are 1000 ways to do this hobby

[mint schooner]

yeah i get that lol

big time

ok will take her down to 65mm normal mortal speeds

[compact rampart]

but 21008 time wise is good for a full mando

[zealous rivet]

The only way to cut that down further is with a .6 nozzle

[compact rampart]

pretty much

[mint schooner]

havent changed a nozzle on any of m,y 3 printers in 4 months

[compact rampart]

I would stick with the .4

[mint schooner]

saw a comparison vid and the difference in sharpness so stuck to 0.4

I would rather take time and do quality

[compact rampart]

yup.. i had a superspeed setting i was just cranking out stuff.. could do a mando in 18 hours

but the quality wasnt there

[mint schooner]

ok took her down to 65mm vthats still not to bad

[compact rampart]

That seems right... if your box can do 200 though more power to you

[mint schooner]

I will ask in the Qidi forums see what ppl have got from them

thanks all for your time, I just want to do my first helmet justice!! graphite rub at the ready!!

[compact rampart]

yeah no worries... make sure you get it super shiny and clean before the graphite and it will be magical

[mint schooner]

sooo excited will post it with pride when done 🙂 have a good day
