Since I'm about 8 time zones ahead it's always Filament Saturday rather than Filament Friday. But it's worth the wait! 😃
Many people watch it Sunday or Monday so it’s become more of a brand name than an actual day.
Dont you mean "Spool Saturday"?
@@FilamentFriday it's TH-cam you can watch it whenever you want 😁👍
I really like that you take the time to explain and show those little tricks that make all the difference. You’re a good teacher, thanks!
Hey CHEP, I love using you profiles on my Ender 3 Pro.
Thank you for going through all the trouble in researching all this and for making it available to us.
Just got my first ender 3 pro yesterday, and your videos have just made it so much better. Thank you!
I learn something new in every single video of yours. I knew about ironing from your previous videos but "line width" effecting the surface quality is totally new for me and I'll definitely try it, thanks for the heads up 👍
Clear and to the point, thats why I like your videos.
CHEP - The Cura learning channel.
Man, still after so many years on 3D printing world, and CHEP still gives me lessons, I was having elephants foot issues, no more thanks again to you Sir! Have an amazing sunny day!
SuperSlicer offers Ironing, with no tweaking required. And since its a fork of the PrusaSlicer it has excellent elephants foot compensation. what i like the most is the included suite of calibration prints to dial the printer to perfection (as far as the printer lets you). Combine that with Klipper and all of its features and you can go crazy :D
@Tony Lewis if you mean Klipper, it runs on 32 bit arm boards, but it is dependent on a pi, since kinematics are calculated on the pi... The printer board just executes what Klipper on the pi tells it. It's no nonsense IMHO, since running it only on the printer board would defeat the purpose of Klipper (easy firmware changes without reflashing for example) plus I could not live without plugins like Tasmota...
Thanks man! I've been scratching my head about that elephants foot for a while now. And the Ironing was a setting i never knew i always wanted. Much love!
Been picking up 3d printing only a few days ago, and your videos are great. Not too lengthy and full of rambling, but very informative. And this video is perfect, since ironing seems to make it look so much nicer :D
Just bought an Ender 3. thx for your videos. It really helps.
I really do like the look of that two-tone ironing effect. Can't wait for that feature to come to PrusaSlicer, I've never got on with the Cura UI
Very informative, can't wait to try these settings out! Thanks for making the video Chuck!
Very practical indeed. I knew about ironing but getting rid of that elephant's foot is gold. Thanks Chep!
Great job, have been having trouble with articulates and elephant's foot, a raft does not work, but your explanation solved it for me.
Another great video Chuck. Thanks for all the great and helpful content that you provide!
Thank you very much Chep, your advices, your findings are always relevant.Thank you again very much.
I LOVE your videos! I'm fairly new to 3D printing, & am learning as much from you & your videos as I possibly can, BEFORE I try to print a cab for my Rc semi truck!
Great information, Chuck. I always enjoy your videos. I sincerely hope you and your family are doing well!
This is fantastic, I'd been frustrated by elephant's foot for a while now, and lo and behold Cura had a setting to save the day! Thanks so much for this video and the working example!
Thx for this solid video. Great tips. Good, clear before and after pics just what we want. Thx again!
in 4.7 i didn't have good results and i go back to 4.5! now on 4.7.1 with some my usual changes on stock profiles and add a horizontal expansion at -0.1 i have great results!! thanks Chuck!!!
You always seem to have the solution to the problem I am having. 🙂 Thanks for making videos. 🙂
I'll check that out but I have to tell you with the troubles I had with my Ender 3 the direct drive and the Ceality Magneti bed made all the difference. The magnetic bed is awesome. And I used to like glass but they wear out too soon. Thanks for all you do Chuck.
Excellent teaching, I love your explanations, thank you
Cura is fantastic, love your work Chuck!
Most useful. Especially one about the elephants foot. Thanks Chep
You are my go to guy 100%, thank you for Sharing your extensive knowledge
I just spent 4 hourst trying to remove elephants foot and this video fixed all my issues
The elephant's foot tip was extremely useful. I was able to almost eliminate it from my PETG prints. Thanks so much for your brilliant content. This is by far the best 3D printing TH-cam channel. I always recommend it for beginners. By watching they will soon become experts. Great down to earth information presented clearly. Systematic and nothing left out.
Thank You.
Reducing line width of support in Cura has made supports super dreamy.
Dry brush painting technique for the "Iron only top layer" on the "Z" would make it really pop because of the texture.
Ironing is also available on Super Slicer, a Prusa slicer fork, which is genuinely my go to slicer. just love it
@_ David _ If i were you, I'd give it a shot :D
Great video as always
Thanks for sharing 👍😀
Nice video! Thanks for making them, keep it up!
Awesome like always
The Ironing setting was a great reason for me to switch from simplify3d to cura forever👍👌
Thanks, I wasn't aware of the elephant foot setting in Cura. Now I am. Very cool
Outstanding content! Thanks for sharing!
Hello, Great videos you have! ;) The slicer Ideamaker also has the function Ironing
Really, really interesting! 😃
Thanks a lot for all the tips, Chuck!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
The weave pattern Z is a really cool effect, have to try that, cool video!
so so great tutorial and solved many problem and save times . thanks so much
You can do more with Cura: applying the "fake ironing" with a reduced line width ONLY on the "skin" (must be activated in the "Shell" tab) and not on all top/bottom layers, to save time.
The width of the skin line is in the "Experimental settings". The skin also have a LOT of specific parameters: they can be completely different from the top/bottom settings...
I’ll give it a try.
I'm excited tot try that line width trick to see what effect it would have on print quality
I’ll certainly check out the ironing feature. Since switching to your profiles, my prints have been FANTASTIC. Save for the tops. Not terrible, but not like the sides.
UN GENIO! Saludos desde Argentina! 🇦🇷
Very instructive as usual. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for the elephant foot tip in CURA! :)
Thanks! As always useful information.
Excellent advice Chuck, thanx.
Love this little video. perfect content
Just love what you do❤️
Great advice, thanks 👍
amazing video as always!
I found a remix of your rear mount spool holder. You can even use the EZRStruder. It uses a 90 degree turn that actually works very well with the EZR. Probably not with the stock extruder. It also moves the spool out farther to the side for clearance
Chep, I've yet to find one of your videos that doesn't pertain to me. 3D Printing is like piloting a plane with all the settings and adjustments, and your explanations are super easy to find on your channel in a pinch. Thank you for helping me print better.
Thanks for watching.
I always run my line width 10% less than the actual nozzle. .4=.36, .6=.52, .8=.72, etc. Also be careful ironing larger surfaces like the top of a plague. Running the extruder at a 10% feedrate for prolonged periods can lead to a clogged extruder. It just can't handle the heat creep. I did that a couple of times before I figured out what was going on. I really like the idea of reduced line width on the top. That should alleviate the heat creep completely. Another great video, keep 'em coming!
Nice features. I think I give Cura a try
Another useful video, thank you!
Yeeeeha! Great idea with the layer width and height!!! Love your videos! Really helpful !;)
very useful information , subscribed
Thats really helpful, thanks!👍
Great tips again!
Thanks, that was really useful!
Solid advice. 10/10 thanks a lot FF
Thanks this really helped
Great information thank you
This is pure gold
so instructive !!! Thanks.
Very helpful. Thank you.
A BIG Thcnx for that info ❣️
Nice tips chuck!
Really useful! Thank you!!!
Fantastic, as usual! Would you have a profile for air/water tight prints in Ender 3? I've seen you need to apply over-extrusion and other techniques...
Dude, Awesome! Thank you
Bit late but this fixed the last major problem I've had 3D printing!
Kisslicer 2.0.6 is also offering ironing. It offers the options for sweep, group and also Monotonic sweep.
Top surface skin layer line width set to .2 is a great alternative to ironing.
Very useful, thanks!
You are a ROCK STAR.
thanks I really appreciate this explanation
no you dont
Great video! Thank you!!!
Great vídeo!
SuperSlicer, a Prusa Slicer Fork, also use Ironic on the Top.
Great Video!!
SuperSlicer (which is a fork of PrusaSlicer that includes some features from their common ancestor Slic3r that Prusa chose not to include) has both elephant's foot compensation as well as surface ironing.
Every video I tried to stop elephants foot did not work but this one does TYSM
Awesome thanks.
Thanks Chuck 👍👍
The latest prusaslicer beta has ironing and it works pretty good.
Thanks so much for your tutorials. Can your profiles be used with PETG & TPU? Thanks.
Thank you
such a useful video!
wow, that is a very informative video. May I have a question, when I print the xyz test cube, the x and y side is good, but the z axis is measured around 19.60. What should I do to fix it? Tried to google it but did not found any good solution.
SuperSlicer, a PrusaSlicer fork, has Ironing, and works better than Cura. I get super smooth surfaces, with Cura I get always the mess you got. Give it a try.
I have much better results with it than with Cura. Has extra features than PrusaSlicer, and frecuent updates.
I’ll check it out.
Your cube for the first layer expansion compensation could in fact still be a little flared out. I've made the observation that the value should be more like half of the measured flare plus 0.03mm (0.05 if you want to be extra sure) in negative, then it's spot on.
WoW, you are a 3D Master friend, Really like your videos and tutorials. Please, Can you give us tips and adjustments for the Artillery Genius printer? Thanks and your work and tutorials are amazing. Best regards from Spain!
Using a raft or supports under the print make it look hideous! I really needed this iron feature as I am making a diy dj controller case and the top layers look aweful with my current filament! Thanks for this chuck! I am deffo gunna try it
Adamımsın Chep 👍
