Useful tips for 3D printer settings configuration. Part3
Hi,
We already know about Model Positioning and paid much attention to Skirt and Brim , the only parameter is left is “Pattern”.
“Pattern” is the parameter I would recommend you to pay your attention to, which is used to print out support structures and a raft. I advise you to use “rectilinear” -straight lines. It is enough for support structures and easy to remove from a printed model.
Useful tips for 3D printer settings configuration. Part2
In my previous part I shared my own experience in 3D printing. I have already tell you about Model Positioning and first three Slicer parameters.
In this part I would like to describe one of the most important Slicer’s parameter.
So…

Hello guys!
I would like to make your life easier, that is why I decided to share my experience!
The story is dedicate to all home 3D printers’ owners, who use ABS and PLA materials. Those who have novolescence printers – your model will be cool without any advice, that’s for sure 😉
I want to share my first experience in 3D printing, if to be precise it was 3D printable file of Video game scale model, designed by Gambody Team.
Software used was also provided by those guys – Repetier-Host Gambody, and I’m happy to share my thoughts here. I made my fare share of mistakes, but it was all made for the sake of tests, and now I’m ready to save your time 🙂
