Try slicing it with Archimedean on the top layer. Way better for objects that are circular

I've just started filament printing, and this tip is exactly what I've been looking for 😃

thank you

flip it over, face down.... use a smooth heatbed

Monotonic simply means the head is traveling in the same direction for each extrusion move. It is interesting that Cura does this more orderly but that isn't a requirement for monotonic. Good video, I think I need this clock for my theater.

I use PLA+ and the down face is as smooth as a whistle when I use my smooth bed, or has a nice random pattern if I use my patterned bed. My guess is you need to set your extruder temperature slightly higher.

i think, there are some improvements. try min. 4 top layers, because the infill is peaking through. put it upside down, like you did, lower the Z a half layerheigh, put a 0.3 bottom layer with 105 to 110 extrusion. is it possible, that you dont have a abl ? because of the big heigh differenzes. i use 4 bottom and 5 top layer to vanish the infill peak through and enough stability its a great idea

gaps between extrusions on the first layer is something to rectify. Either your z offset is not right, or your extrusion rate is not right. With a perfect first layer, the bottom will pretty much always look better than the top, even with all the settings you used.

I think you would benefit from using Orca slicer, an ABL decice to create a mesh before each print, and a PEY hologram sheet to print it upside down amd give the clock face a holographuc surface. Orca slicer has a lot of great calibration tools that are filamemt and machine specific. You can create a one layer print to perfect your Z offset value prior to running all the calibration prints

honestly it looks like you have some under extrusion going on, especially on the bottom layer example.

The only thing I would do different is, to print small test pieces, instead of waisting time and material of full prints.

lowkey you should make some more and try selling them those are fire

Great video what printer are you using

Thanks for the Useful Tip this might help with My ABS prints lifting slightly at the corners

Hey boss so im having an issue maybe you can help with. I basically am having issues with the bed temp ive been keeping it at 50 and the nozzle temp at 220 with the z at -1.87. The issue is that some prints have been printing just fine but others wont get the first layer down right or if they do it starts getting like straight spaghetti. I think I’ve narrowed it down to bed temps but I have no idea. It printed very well once and then the next time i couldnt get the first layer down i started using elmers glue and that seems to help but then the first layer will be separated by gaps

That’s so creative lmaooo

Not to be rude or anything and this is someone who doesn't know a lot about Star wars but isn't the helmet supposed to be black?

lol ha ha ha "vader dad" ? ok so why don't you print it life size ?

To-The-Point!

My suggestion for both cost and retaining detail is do a quick initial sand, then use a sandable primer, but in only a few light coats. Then sand the primer down. Then use the Bondo as intended and only use it to fill deeper lines. Then sand and do another sandable primer. This is way less expensive and you don't run the risk of filling in detail or changing the form of the print. It also reduces weight. If you're going to use Bondo as a filler like this, I recommend thinning it with Acetone. It goes on a lot smoother and you don't get buildup that you have to spend hours sanding. Finally, I never sand my Bondo dry... only wet. The amount of dust created is nasty.

What's better than plastic garbage? MORE plastic garbage! Scale it up so you can burn more electricity printing out more plastic garbage to throw away!

This is such a cool set!

I was thinking about the eact same thing while watching your video. No only the model scales, but also the tollerances. Still trying to think of a way to mitigate that problem

I use loctite super glue and mitre apel accelerator i use j-b weld plastic bonder to fill in seams and gaps . I ,ve been resin 3d printing for about 4 years l use the peopoly forge printer because like you i want my statues large as possible. I really love 3d printing you put the effort and work in and get beautiful statues as a result.....

I have found it a lot easier to use files and hobby scrapers on PLA than sanding. Sweet video!

Hi there ! We greatly appreciate your video content and are interested in collaborating with you. We would like to inquire if you would consider sponsorship for your videos? Pls let us know the best way to get in touch if you are interested. Thank you! - Sienna from PCBWay

3D gloop would be perfect for this. It chemically welds the parts without being so toxic like acetone.

I had printed the Pit Droid kit card and decided it was to small. I took each part and scaled it 600%. It's the size of a toddler now. I'm loving it

Is the milk sweet?

Pretty much all slicers allow you to separate combined objects that are physically sepaate into separate objects in the context menu.

At the larger scale, you could take the one sided fins, print them at half thickness twice, one being mirrored, and then glue them together so there are greeblies on both sides

Wow , the timing is impeccable, just went to a anime con cosplaying has a scout trooper, not as good as that helmet but still fun

Awesome video! Make more like this :)

OMG the luxery to choose what glue to use. Here in New Zealand you use what they sell.

I like to print everything in ABS. You can chemically weld the parts together with some acetone, which makes a ridiculously strong bond

I would go with a 2 part CA glue, it's so strong, awesome video though

yooooo i have the same printer

awesome!

Thank you so much! Fixed the issue for me complitely, but it works too well...

Thank you. Great tute. How long did this take to print? Also instead of putty can you build up the smooth surface with more coats of primer?

This is so cool

I heard a rumor it tastes like chicken?

What does it taste like

good comedy!

Leveling your print bed to make a video of how to level your print bed does seem like a good time to level your print bed.

rad!

That’s just so funny and the tiny dance

That looks cool good job

Sweet nod to the date where the first Star Wars movie was released.
