I forgot how much I love Slic3r’s infill pattern. Using S3D for too long, rectilinear or concentric infill is just not as pretty.
Rectilinear or line infill is the most efficient. It puts less stress on your machine. Hexagonal infill is not only weaker, but ends up vibrating a bunch and is slower to use. (Though, I’m not sure about Slic3rs new 3D hexagonal)
@ThantiK Agree with your statements, and haven’t checked out the 3d hex either, a little stoked about it. They have certainly improved support features over the years.
On this machine I’m proofing it as a simple build kit, so throwing everything I can at it to rattle it loose. No linear bearings, or bushings only Derlin wheels so seeing if I can wear them down. Belts have those funny little clothes hanger springs, trying to estimate a maintenance schedule.
So far, seems the bigger build likes 9000mm/s^2 at 80mm/s, been running for about 3 months non-stop and haven’t adjusted much. Will say, I’m surprised I don’t like the autobed leveling/tramming as much as I thought I would. It works, but even traveling at 17k it takes extra time and I’ve been known to be impatient.
