I was super excited for the organic supports and the cut tool improvements, but reading though I'm just as excited about some of the smaller stuff like dynamic overhang speed and monotonic lines fill pattern.

Some kind of connection issue (flaky cable/connector?): Got error -1 in write: (19)No such device

Looks like your print-ending-event: Filament Sensor btt_smart: runout event detected, Time 28205.27

Followed by: Exiting SD card print (position 5548524)

My guess is that your filament sensor sent a false positive about filament runout which aborted (rather than paused?) the print. If it happens again with the same message I'd replace the filament sensor. Or see if you can set the condition to trigger a pause rather than full abort.

Weird connection issues could be (wild speculation ahead) caused by voltage spikes on your PSU causing multiple things (usb connection, filament sensor) to malfunction

What is the current state of ABS printing with modern slicer profiles?

Looking at a couple of videos looks like if you stick to the default profile in prusaslicer and don't print anything with too many tall, sharp, acute angles layer adhesion is ok? And print with a draft shield enabled? I guess PEI build sheet solves adhesion issues.

When I first bought this thing I bought, uh, six rolls of ABS, which I've never opened, because apparently ABS is not as easy to print with as PLA, and would like to use up at some point.

Sounds like on a glass bed with too fast of print speed, no draft shield, and older models that can't print with a nozzle temp of ~245+, ABS was a real bitch to print with, but now with modern equipment and printer profiles, is mostly fine, so long as you don't mind the long print time?

No. Now hotbox your printer

So almost exactly 1 lb per hour. Not bad

Unrelated,

Is there any way to efficiently print something like this, like a custom body shell for an RC car, without either using a ton of support material, or doing a hyper intricate custom slice job and gluing it all together, I've been puzzling over this can't can't think of a way. Maybe cura does supports that's aren't nightmare level to pull out of a highly concave model like this. Using FDM

The short answer, is no. Body shapes are not well suited to 3d printing. They violate every rule, even when printed at a funky angle.

Javid posted:

a thin body shell like the one pictured would be unprintable. However, if you are willing to do the modeling yourself and deal with some extra chunkiness and support cleanup on the inside, I believe you could make one that IS printable if you really wanted to

Dr. Fishopolis posted:

No amount of support is gonna make that model FDM printable as-is. You would think a website that sells "printable" STLs would like, slice the models to verify that.

I *think* the Filament Sensor runout event is after the failure since the EOF is prior to it, when it should not have hit EOF. Either case it only ever should pause the print on run out.

Gonna replace the control board and try a new USB cable. If that doesn't solve it then new power supply time!

my oh my, how things have changed since July of last year

Sockser posted:

1. Holy hell using organic supports loving rules
2. On the other hand, my prints are popping right off the supports when I flex my build plate, which is normally great, but now I need to get my fingernails under all these tiny support brims to get them off the build plate and it's loving up my nail polish

I've found that plastic razor scrapers are very good at getting stuff off of build plates without damaging the plate or your nails.

Enclosure has the added benefit of containing the ABS smell. Not that it's super terrible, but why smell it if you don't have to

The Anker, with how fast it moves, will leave filament all over the table it's on, into the y belts, all over the floor, just fuckin
everywhere

Considering setting up a non-functional octoprint instance just so I can have a real webcam on it and keep the setup in the same place as my other printers, since the built-in camera is focused on the current Z height rather than looking down at an angle

And my god is the hotend assembly a fuckin mess.

Sagebrush posted:

Or just put a cardboard box over your printer, as noted, because literally the only thing that makes a voron better at ABS than an ender or a prusa is the enclosure

Never mind printing faster and better.

I'm not entirely sure why you all are suddenly so excited, you could have done any of this stuff in Cura when they added tree supports over four years ago.

Yeah I love the idea, especially building something with a big build volume that can actually run fast enough to make use of it, but 1k+ cost of that much ABS and the hassle of printing it just has me waiting for a Bambu XL or whatever

Combat Pretzel posted:

IIRC, this is a new version improved by a third party affiliated with Cura, that's also relatively new to Cura itself.

Sagebrush posted:

Oooh PrusaSlicer also does branching supports for the SLA mode now. Obviously it won't change the print time, but it looks like it might use a little less material and/or be easier to remove and/or have less model contact. And there's built-in export to .pwmx files for Photons Mono X. I wonder if it also does .pwmo?



goddamn egomaniac tho

I mean, seven months ago three different people told me in no uncertain terms that was an impossible task, now it is possible. That's pretty exciting to me

LOL

It would have been possible forty-seven months ago, had someone other than the Prusa knob gobblers answered your question. I'm sorry I didn't see your post back then or I would have helped you out.
