Whatcha Printing?

[WickedFog]

I don't understand the question?
What do you mean entire same a sprint?
I honestly haven't fiddled much with the support setting other than to turn them off or on based on the print

I have not looked at the slicer you are using, but in Simplify 3d, on the support tab, you select the support infill percentage, how many top and bottom layers, and how much you want the supports material to stay away from the part, both horizontally and vertically. So the supports are very thinly printed, except for the areas at the top and bottom of the supports.

Are you suggesting there's a way to setup it to print a base for the support out of PLA then swap it over to PVA when it approaches the point Where the supports are actually needed?

I don't know. That would be cool if you can, to eliminate all the filament changes until it is actually needed, and something I'd be looking into.

I wouldn't use PVA all the time. Just when I need a part to look good, or when you need a smooth surface under an overhang. Like on my SCX24 stands for example. I install magnets in the bottom for the little parts trays I incorporate into them. I use supports there, and when removed, the face of the pockets inside look like ass, making the magnets sit funny sometimes. That's where the PVA would come in handy.

Just started printing the Knight Customs Terra Bug conversion for my 2nd H10 Optic Kit that I definitely maybe don't need but definitely maybe want really badly.

Didn’t have the rear panel on in pic

I wish they would release the files separately, I kinda want the rear engine for this, but ill likely just end up getting the whole set

I think that looks a LOT better than the bug. If I had two of them, I'd probably do the bug to be different.

I did end up switching the grille out for now.

Went back to that one, because I have an idear, not sure. Will have to see

I'd have a hard time deciding between either of those to be honest. They both look great.

I've printed a bunch of random stuff the past few days.

Toothpick holder for my FIL

Toothpaste squeezer and stand

And my MIL is a huge peanuts fan, so I printed her a flying ace napkin holder.

Ah, I have found these parameters. @majin see below:
Thank you @WickedFog for telling me this was a thing.

Ya just gotta learn how and when to use supports. Sure, it may take longer, but for things like roll cages, it would be a good thing to have.

@WickedFog any idea why my file looks like this in F360, but when i open it in the slicer it's separated?

Because I am betting you have two separate models.

Go down to your timeline and select the step where you generated the tab extrusion. Double click it, or right-click it and select edit. Dont at the bottom of the window, you should see join. If it says new model, select that and change it to join.

If that doesn't work, up top you will see two ue squares, joined together on your toolbar. Click that and select both models and join them together.

If that doesn't work, go back to the sketch that you created of the tab and look to make sure the sketch geometry is actually attached to the main part of the model.

Thanks bro, got it figured out. I did make separate models and forgot I had to join them.
Hoping to print this out in you and make a beefy pro4 rear bumper

Magblocks for the T1X and 10/22s.

Printed a cover to go over the front bumper screws in the Tekno SCT410 2.0. They were going to destroy the body.

Grooves are for zip ties.
