This is from Thingiverse:8100. (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:8100) I first tried with no support. The propeller/antenna thingy came off as a short stub. (Left) I thought support would help, so I added the usual support style in KISSlicer. G-Code viewer shows some support structure below that thingy, so I went print. But the stem broke at about the same length despite surrounding support. (Looking at the dimensions, I also worry about support removal in this structure.)
Umm, how big are you printing that? It’s hard to get a sense of scale, but the Make on the Di3 looks much larger than yours. That makes a big difference with small details. The cross-section of the dish support is too small in your print.
That doesn’t look like it’s designed for a small print if part of it was too thin then the slicer most likely ignored it altogether and thus giving you a super weak structure
In Slic3r there is a setting called “Slow Down if Layer Print Time is Below X seconds”, under Filament Settings -> Cooling thresholds.
Depending on the temperature you are printing you may need the cooling fan full-on with this setting to allow enough cooling of the plastic of the previous layer before putting more plastic on top.
If the plastic is still too hot when the next layer is laid down it tends to clump together into a blobby mess.
I assume that Kissilcer has an equivalent setting.
I needed this setting when I wanted to print Warhammer 40,000 figures using PLA, to get the fine details right.
@Paul_Gross I’ll look into KISSlicer for the feature. Perhaps I could also tweak print temperature. I haven’t done any optimization. As slicing goes, G-code viewer does show that disc structure in perhaps 3 or 4 layers.
