I am using orca slicer with the orca pack from turtle. I have ran thru Ellis calibrations. Voron revo nozzle. I’m pretty happy with the overall print but as you can tell the overhangs are lacking.

whats your fan settings?

compact bronze Jun 29, 2023, 7:54 PM

#

0% for first layer then 100% rest of the time running a 120mm with cpap

#

i did just see that my bridge flow was set to .8 so i changed it to 1 and running again since some of those have gaps on the bridge lines

#

Trihorn on eva 3.0

compact bronze Jun 29, 2023, 8:28 PM

#

I’m assuming this is why but I can’t figure out why it’s not doing full lines.

No pressure advanced on this one.

are you sure orca slicer has a cooling setting for bridge and regular print speed what are those settings? im running cpap. what material? for me only pla sees 80 percent max for bridges.

#

paper quest are you sure orca slicer has a cooling setting for bridge and regular print spee...

Regular PLA

compact bronze Regular PLA

what temp?

#

#

#

i have raised speeds and accel from the stock profile also.

compact bronze Jun 30, 2023, 3:00 PM

#

205 is what i've been trying.

compact bronze 205 is what i've been trying.

have you ran a temp tower and checked the bridging on them?

compact bronze Jun 30, 2023, 3:06 PM

#

The one from orca. It all looked the same regardless of temp.

i get a similar look on bridges maybe a little thicker. maybe your brdge speed? ave you tried just bridging tests? im unsure. it seems to be a cooling issue based on your first images.

compact bronze Jun 30, 2023, 3:33 PM

#

I've ran bridge files but didnt know there was bridging tests, i'll have to look those up. Cooling was my first thought as well and why i went cpap but it seems to make no change

something like this.

Bridge test by bobtidey

Just parameterised a few of the settings in the OpenSCAD file to make it easier to change dimensions, like the length, width, size of the bridge steps and gap between steps.

compact bronze Jun 30, 2023, 3:51 PM

#

Am I supposed to make that do different things at the different bridges? If so how?

rocky tendon Jun 30, 2023, 4:00 PM

#

no thats just to check how long your bridges can go and when do you get problems

compact bronze Jun 30, 2023, 4:38 PM

#

I can’t even print the zero g astronaut without having sagging.

rocky tendon Jun 30, 2023, 5:51 PM

#

im trying to calibrate everything myself. my astronaut looks more bad than yours

compact bronze Jun 30, 2023, 6:13 PM

#

Gotta be some setting. This is 1000x worse then when I was stock.

rocky tendon Jun 30, 2023, 6:23 PM

#

you missing cooling

#

well

#

📎 ZeroG_Polymaker_PLA.json 📎 ZeroG_Mercury_235_PLA.json 📎 Mercury_Zero_G_PLA.json

#

copy these into your orca profile and try to work with them

#

they should be better

compact bronze Jun 30, 2023, 6:46 PM

#

Where do those go into the profile?

rocky tendon Jun 30, 2023, 6:48 PM

#

same like the zero g profiles

compact bronze Jun 30, 2023, 7:29 PM

#

so i added it to Orcaslicer\Resources\profiles\ZeroG\filament and still dont see them

rocky tendon Jun 30, 2023, 7:34 PM

#

than try the import configs top left by the file menu

#

maybe you have to change the PA and temp settings cause i am going with a steel hardend

compact bronze Jun 30, 2023, 8:45 PM

#

Used the Polymaker profile - no difference

compact bronze Jun 30, 2023, 9:06 PM

#

Trying without any cooling - i know it will sag now but curious if i just have too much

compact bronze Jul 1, 2023, 1:30 AM

#

Well 0 cooling is worse for sure but I can’t imagine I don’t have enough cooling at this point using a tri horn with cpap and my bridges are 50mms

rocky tendon Jul 1, 2023, 5:54 AM

#

Did you checkt the button for lower print speed for small areas?

compact bronze Jul 1, 2023, 12:45 PM

#

rocky tendon Did you checkt the button for lower print speed for small areas?

The slow down for overhangs?

rocky tendon Jul 1, 2023, 2:57 PM

#

no

#

#

that one

compact bronze Jul 1, 2023, 10:07 PM

#

Oh yes. That is on

compact bronze Jul 1, 2023, 11:02 PM

#

rocky tendon Jul 2, 2023, 10:14 AM

#

you tried to test with this settings ?

compact bronze Jul 2, 2023, 1:38 PM

#

Yes, tried with these when you gave them

rocky tendon Jul 2, 2023, 5:38 PM

#

Nothing changed?

compact bronze Jul 3, 2023, 1:11 AM

#

No. So far nothing has made a difference in my overhangs. I’m going to drop the speed to stock bridge speed and see if anything changes once I get back from the long weekend

rocky tendon Jul 3, 2023, 4:56 AM

#

You can try. For me i never found a good way for long bridges. Im sorry

compact bronze Jul 3, 2023, 12:00 PM

#

Even if I got back to stock bridges I’d be happy. Right now I gained nothing doing the zero g mod. Sure it goes faster but print quality is worse comparatively

rocky tendon Jul 3, 2023, 1:01 PM

#

I do also struggle a bit with the quality. I know i could do better but yeah dont know

crystal eagle Sep 18, 2023, 5:42 PM

Are there any Slicer profiles to start with (M1.1 + Hydra)?
