My 4.11 profile download was missing a couple of the smooth profiles. It’s been corrected. Re-download to get them all.
Where can I find the profile?
Link in description.
@@FilamentFriday Thanks
Hi ,
Can you please make video of 3d print toys comparison of ender 3 max and ender 3 V2
What kind of toys?
I find they print about equal for most prints.
Chuck, mono tonic is mostly relevant for shiny filaments (like metallic/silk). The direction of print (left to right and right to left) effects how light shines back from the surface, so the the surface is shiny you can really tell the difference. Try it out.
I avoided watching this because I was working on a video on the monotonic settings and wanted to come to my own conclusion. Finished it a few days ago so finally got a chance to watch this. I had really good results with monotonic ironing and depending on the size of the part/geometry was able to see a difference with non ironing monotonic layers. That being said there is no denying the changes you made had a much higher impact on top surface smoothness without need to enable ironing. A few of these settings I have actually not played around with before. Thank you very much for the information and tips 😬👍 there is a never ending amount of things to know 😂
I look forward to seeing your results. It’s not about ironing, it’s how to get the best top surface and Monotonic alone has not done a lot in my experience and also looking at other channels results.
The monotonic printing appears to print in one direction. As there is difference in line geometry if it is laid down next to another line, the light will reflect differently depending. On the default print that difference will be visible where it changed directions, demonstrating the sheen differences highlighted in the documentation. Monotonic printing will address that.
To relate it to something, it is similar to how you carpet looks different on a push vs. pull. The 3D print just happens to affect the sides of the line.
This tutorial helped me figure out a problem I've been trying to troubleshoot ever since I got my printer.
My issue looked like either it was over extruding, or dragging the nozzle through the filament, leaving scars on my layers and jist overall tearing it up. This whole time it was that skin setting. Because it was overlapping filament it was adding more than was needed, dragged it all over the place, and then compounded with each layer.
So all in all, thank you. This video completely saved the hobby for me
Hi Chuck, Thanks for your generosity in sharing the outcomes of all your hard work. The profiles are invaluable.
Great instructions how you create visual smooth prints. Nice tricks! But I think there is a misconception how monotonic infill works and what the effect is on a print.
Monotonic basically assures that a skin area is always printed in the same direction. Since some of the material properties are depended on the printing direction. Polymer strains are orientated in relation to this direction, the profile of the deposited bead shows line related to the print direction as well and this surface corelate to the light reflection. I assume that is because the shear of the skin of the deposited polymer is different in the wake of moving nozzle flat area. Which creates a surface texture in the skin orientated based on the direction. Disregarding other material properties and just focusing on visual properties.
What we basically do is devide the region of skin in cells or nodes, when these nodes in the graph split up we know we have a new unique region. This normally happens around holes or influx points along a curve. Normally we don't care in which direction the infill pattern of such a region is printed so we optimize these as your normal traveling salesman problem. But now we constrain it to print direction, perpendicular to the skin lines.
Now this will add some extra travel and therefore time. But generally speaking travel time is a few percent over your complete print. So we're okay with that.
A misconception is that the surface will be less rough. It only has an impact on the visual properties and appears smoother.
Maybe we should have stated it a bit different in our change log and what's new pages.
Btw I would still like to invite you to share your profiles by shipping them directly with Cura.
Stating it different in the change log would help as it states it makes top surfaces smoother. I prefer to keep my profiles separate so I can update them at any point. Thanks.
The gap closing by setting the wall inset was a great tip Chuck!!! Tried it as soon as I saw the video. Makes PETG prints solid. Especially if there are any trough holes. Nice one!!!!
Thanks for your work and your free Cura profiles. I use them all the time am really happy with my printing results 😊
This chanel eeally helps me understand stuff about 3d printing and it helps me get tips and tricks for my settings in Cura. Thanks man!
Thank you for all of the great information you provide. Have seen so many of your videos just by searching for topics and just started browsing all of your content to see what I missed. This has been a game changer. Many thanks.
Thanks again for all your insight and posts, always grateful I joined the Club, when we got our 1st printer, so much valuable information and saved us from many mistakes and much frustration.
Chep, you are nothing short of a gentleman. Thank you so much for all your help!
Chuck thanks for the profiles. I'd be lost without them and really appreciate you making them for us!!!
Okay that gap closing is really nice thank
Hey I just wanted to say that you've really helped me to figure out issues since I got into 3d printing. Much appreciation
Thank's Chep for this settings. Prints look awesome!
You are the King of Cura profiles! My prints are so smooth now!
Thanks Chuck :) your profiles improved my printing 1000%
That top/bottom line width made my day! :) Thanks!
One of the better videos to date! Thanks a ton, Chuck!
Thanks Chuck for all your hard work. It is very much appreciated.
You deserve so much more then 208k subscribers for the amount of work you do and knowledge you give us
Thankyou
I like what your doing homie. No fluff, just the good stuff!
Thank you CHEP for the profiles it really helps.
Man, chep is dropping knowledge on this one. I am still learning all the tricks in cura to get the best possible prints. Thanks again!
Wow! That was EXCELLENT! Can’t wait to try it! Thanks!
recently i wasn't satisfied with ironing results, and here it is ! Thanks
Thanks a lot, it works fine, no ironing, no monotonic mode, just some adjustments in the good places and the result is there!
I've been following and subsribed to you for literally one week and greatly improved my prints, in which I was struggling a lot for a month. You share the best videos with the clearest explanations. I wouldn't have guessed I would learn this much in one week. And now you released your profiles?!?! Unbelievable! I wish I had an income to support your patreon, but I will some day :)
That's crazy generous of you to not only share your vast experience of Cura, but to also give the profile away for free! Thank you!
This was awesome, you made it clear and easy to understand what's going on. Thank you!
So many settings to think about. I have a lot to learn. Am ordering my first printer next week.
thank you so much worked better than I expected
the fact that you added these smoothtop profiles proves you are still a legend
Thank you very much for the profiles! Theyve been workibg great for me so far, only had to fix the retraction since I changed to direct drive!
Thanks man! I’d be lost without you.
Really nice profiles Chep. Thank you so much!
I had downloaded newest ver yesterday Thank you for this
Fantastic! Great content as always! 👍
In addition to being smoother print the corners look sharper with your new profile. Thanks for the tips.
your legend chuck!!
WOW...I learned A LOT in 5 minutes! Thank you!
CHEP Profiles are by far the best you can find. They bring you to the next level of 3D Printing and having them explained is really useful. Really happy that you are still updating them Chep. Thanks a lot
Thanks
As always a massive help. Thanks Chep
Another very helpful vid, thanks Chuck!
Exelent! Ty your profile ate rhe Best iam using from years anda work perfect
Chep, as always, you are the best
Thank you Chep, you are a wonderful and helpful person!
Thank you for sharing your profiles, I gave them a try last night and not only have the prints come out smooth your settings have cut my times down significantly from what i was printing before. MUCHAS GRACIAS my friend
Glad to help
Excelet video. Never knew that adding a 0 before the 90 would change the line direction. Quality of my print will be amazing now. Thank you
Thank you so much Chuck. You're the best.
So useful! For some reason Cura wasn't updating in my system for months but today I discovered there are appimages on the site so I can have 4.11 too. And some plugins that never appeared in earlier versions for me suddenly appeared. Happy 3d printing day for me :)
I need to get back to printing, had lots of time during pandemic but my computer crapped out and had problems with my new machine. Love your content.
Wow. That is super handy, I’ll definitely check this out!
Awesome tip thank you! I also couldn’t see any difference with monotonic but I will definitely be trying that wall trick. Thanks again.
Thank you love your profiles
SUPER GENIAL, muchas gracias maestro. Saludos desde Argentina
Happy to see a TPU profile - I bought a KG spool of it recently and the standard profile hasn't been so great with it. And I appreciate the smooth top profiles as well, look forward to trying them where it matters.
Wow, amazing quality
Thank you for this. I had problems with ironing.
Beautiful printing!
Thanks heaps Chuck very helpful tips there
Thank you very much Chuck!
Another successful meeting, thank you for all these explanations, greetings from France
Looking forward to seeing you at the next meeting :)
Thanks Chuck. That was quick ontop of the Cura release.Much appreciated
Just popping by to say hey! Still cranking out the quality content Chep, I love it :-)
That's really cool, thanks!
Guess I gotta download your profiles again. Thanks Chep! 😁
Thanks for the great video, I'm learning a lot.
Pretty interesting indeed, Chuck! 😊
Thanks a lot!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
always gives new to learn! you are like Joshua Bardwell in 3d printing. Thanks!
Vert good job as ever ! Thanks !
Nice one, diving a bit deeper in to the settings.
Great tips for top finish Chuck. I've never tried playing with the top lines directions let alone the width. And that Outer wall inset, which I kinda knew existed but forgot about it, will help a lot on 2 wall prints when the slicer keeps leaving a gap between the walls. Thanks.
this helped me with my new glass bed thxxxxxxxx
Thank you exellent tips!
Thanks CHEP.
This gives me some great ideas. It looks like your initial print showed under extrusion on the top surface. When you moved to 0.28 this worked to fix the under extrusion.
Thanx Chuck. I wish I knew this a few days earlier. Just finished a major order of many small flat pieces where the top and bottom surfaces gave me headaches for days. This would solve everything....
thank you very much rambo
You are without doubt the problem solving King. Thanks Chuck...maybe Crura should employ you as their chief editor of Cura!
¡Gracias por el video! Muy interesantes para mejorar las impresiones. 👌😃
Thanks for the video! Very interesting to improve the impressions
Thank you very much Chuck! You make everything so much easier for the community! Those settings are awesome, I'll be using them for sure.
Another thing i wanted to say is that i think monotonic setting is for models that have a big surface and extrusions on top (or even holes), to make that surface smoother, because cura likes to leave the part where you have a hole or an extrusion for later, and that seems to make the surface finish incosistent. I think that couldn't be seen in a chep cube since the z on top is inside the model. Maybe I'll try to print some test prints and see if that is the case.
Thank you so much!
THANK YOU FOR THE CODE.
Super, thank you👍
Thank you!
Thanks Chuck. 👍
Impressive, thanks
Thanxs A lot for all your help, i love your videos, Hello fron mexico.
Some of those are not applicable to every situation, for example "outer wall inset" destroys small 3d text, but the suggestion to remove the skin-wall was great, that along with a small increase to "compensate inner wall overlap" finally fixed holes I had for years!
You are the man
Thanks for show me how to use it.
Interesting, lots of work to get that smooth top. Amazed how cura messed up monotonic so bad. In Prusaslicer it's one button, beautiful results.
Thanks for sharing
You are a Master!
You have a great show.... been watching but first time commenting..... great info and I tell a lot of newbies to your channel..... best info for 3d printing as far as I'm concerned..., but that's just one man's opinion 😁
Thanks
