So I have made a bit of progress with getting Simplify3d working! On the last print I showed you, the top and bottom layers that make up the bottom of the vase didn’t adhere to the perimeters well. I could push on the bottom of the vase and it would just crack right out… But I fixed that by increasing the overlap with the perimeters! Now the base is steady.
Having fixed that issue, I moved onto trying a print that had more infill. However, that didn’t work too well…. at 30mm/s the infill was not printing unbroken segments; it looked more like a dotted line than a solid line. One potential solution is to print the infill much slower than 30mm/s, which I’m going to try for now! The printer will currently print objects that have 100% infill fine, just not anything less than 100%, so stay tuned for better infill settings (hopefully)!
