Re: S3D Separates Rhino Model With Filleted Edges

Yep, the object was not solid. When I created the object, I extruded a large rectangle for the body and a small rectangle for the tab and joined. Drawing the divider out in 2D then extruding outline as a whole gave me proper filleting and a solid object.

Re: S3D Separates Rhino Model With Filleted Edges

I think I found the problem. The inner corner does not seem to join up seamlessly in Rhino. Simplify3D must not like this irregularity.

S3D Separates Rhino Model With Filleted Edges

I created a very rudimentary rectangular divider in Rhino. When I exported the STL without edges filleted, S3D slices the model correctly. When I fillet the edges, something changes in the model that is causing it to separate in S3D. I decided to try Slic3r with the filleted model and the separation...

Dual Extruder Infill

I am making some coasters using an SVG to emboss a logo into top. I designed the coaster with a smaller 2mm cylinder at the start of the emboss. This gives the embossed logo a different color inside. I am finding that I I have to chose the extruder that is used to infill. Is there anyway to infill w...

Re: Extruder Motors - How Do They Go Bad?

I replaced the entire extruder motor and planetary gears, moving the filament drive gear over and the printer is working fine now.

Extruder Motors - How Do They Go Bad?

This past week I had an issue where the extruder motor stopped moving, making a grinding sound during a print. I looked closer, thinking the drive gear came loose, but it was tight and there wasn't any filament jamming in the filament drive. The actual extruder motor was making this rough sound and ...

African Cat Sculpture

I had some Dockwell cheap filament in a translucent blue. Love the color, love the price, hate the spool size. It prints well on on my Rev E. Machine. I am at the end of a spool so I decided to use up the remainder by printing an African Cat sculpture. I printed three, 100 %, 200%, and 300% size. IM...

PETG Filament Drive S3D Settings

Hello, I am working on printing a filament drive with eSun PETG in black using S3D. I am wondering what the suggested settings for the drive are for infill, top, bottom, and outline layer count are. Is 3 top and bottom, 2 outline ok? I am using Jules PETG setting per her instruction thread. I am not...

Re: Bottom and Perimeter Separation Problem

I think I may have an idea what is going on. It is very counterintuitive and I have no idea why this happened. Fortunately I saved a factory file from the working model and have the settings :D A few days ago I made the decision to print 2 outlines instead of 1 that I had been printing. I suppose I ...

Re: Bottom and Perimeter Separation Problem

I was impressed with the color and at the time, there wasn't anything comparable on Amazon.

Looks like I have a variation in my openSCAD design. The failing one fails on both filaments. Now to figure out what I did to mess this up....
