Something else to consider besides print speed, is extrusion width. With a 0.4mm nozzle you can print 0.6 width i’ve even done 0.8mm width and this allows you to do much higher layer heights. Like 0.36. Especially on a part like this without fine detail. The print will still come out looking clean. You just have to he careful to check your volumetric flow rate for your hotend or you will stress it too far and it won’t extrude enough material. But i find i would get better prints like this than if i simply increased the print speed
You could also just change the support overhang angle. Orca Slicer 2.0 is introducing sacrificial layer support for holes. Lots of good tips in this video though.
I’ve found that you need 2:1 ratio of extrusion width to layer height if you want good layer bonding. If you have a 0.4mm nozzle you can extrude at 0.5mm and set layer height to 0.25mm as practical maximums. 0.42 width / 0.2 height is better.
Same as the other comment. With a 0.4mm nozzle i always printed at 0.6mm extrusion width then you can bump the height up to 0.32 and still get good prints. But i would probably not go much larger than that with a 0.4mm nozzle.
Great video, not only time but also material saving... i am sure this will help many people who havent known yet ❤ As a fast printer enthusiast have to say tho : "A fast printer always does the job 😅"
@@agb0078 im sorry mate but i do believe that with over 4 years printing experience i can say that he isnt a liar and isnt wrong about everything - even tho i have to agree that i wouldnt do everything the exact same way
Changing your Support overhang angle and selecting tree supports could be an alternative
a far better alternative
why not just use tree supports with the blocker? Seems like it will be faster?
Great tutorial idea. Unfortunatelly the execution of it is way more complicated that it needs to be.
you can change ur line width from 0.4 to 0.6 or even 0.8 ive had good time saving doing this trick as well.

Thanks for the info!
there will come a time when 8 hours 3D printing will be funny.
I would just paint supports on each part, or use tree supports..
Does 0.4mm layer height print well with a 0.4mm nozzle?
NO, limit is 0.3 with that nozzle size

I would split this part in two and print without supports
It's kinda unbelievable that Cura still doesn't have a intelligent auto support function, like resin printer sclicers
It does. You just have to tweak the overhang angle which the video did not show.
@@Javii96 thanks !
Why you dont just ad suports that ar made as part of the model itself! It s mutch easyer!
nice idea
My brother in christ, you dont have an idea how helpful this is for someone like me with no previous 3d printing experience. Amazing tutorial!!!
You're very welcome!
Please keep posting. There is always a lag in uptake for quality channels.
sure. Thank for the comment

What's wrong with you. how do you not notice that this guy is a liar and doesn't know what he's doing and is wrong about everything.

Ok
@@3DWolfEngineering I would like to admit I went about this all wrong. I was not polite not respectful.
Thanks a lot for the video!

Not loving the straight rip off without mentioning 3d printer academy at all. Don't need to copy for views.
