    It's so refreshing to find a channel with good info that isn't someone yelling at the screen trying to be cool or hip for the algorithm. You have some of the best prints I've ever seen and you're just giving away your secrets to all of us. It is VERY appreciated. Lol. Please keep up the good work.

      The goal of this channel is to be specific but not over the top with “techy” information. There are some great channels out there but not everyone speaks the lingo if that makes sense. I’m trying to redirect things to where even beginners can grasp the info & get better. Much more to come my friend 👊🏻

    I really like that you actively explained why slowing down can be good. Other than printing TPU I find most people just want to blast it prints as quickly as possible and rarely do I find they focus on quality. It's almost like a competition with them. "I can print at 300mms". "Oh yeah? I print at 500mms". Frankly i would much rather a print that takes twice as long but looks fantastic and didn't fail than rocketing one out just so i can boast that I did it in 3 hours less than the next guy.

    • @Darkwingdad
      @Darkwingdad  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Unless you have a machine built for speed conventional printers aren’t going to give quality when you exceed 80mm & up. I’d rather tune & print slower & have a stunning print than a row of so so helmets that only look good from 6 feet away

    This video has been really helpful! Especially loved the explanation on combing. I'm curious, what settings might be significantly different if printing PLA+ versus Silk?

    • @Darkwingdad
      @Darkwingdad  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Honestly 90% of what I covered can be applied to pla & pla+ especially with temperatures. Temp/retraction tests are so important. Many people don’t find justice in the extra print time that combing, coasting, jerk/acc control offer because they are just going to sand and prep, which I totally get, so that is really your call. Things like ironing aren’t really needed but even in my raw prints I use combing within infill or not in skin, I’ve seen a significant reduction in zits,underextrusion and imperfections that saves me time using body fillers,puttys and repeat sanding.
      So happy to hear these are helping, the only thing you’ll lose out on using these for pla is it’ll take longer to print but less time to prep! Happy printing & thanks for watching!

    Thanks for sharing this. Not sure if you have done the wearable Goblin mask yet, but magnets are the way to go. I know the Star Wars Clone Trooper helmets use magnets to hold the bottom back piece in. My friend even has straps attaching the piece to the helmet so he doesn't have to worry about it accidentally coming off and falling.

    You seem to be the Silk PLA master! I usually print PETG on my Prusa and have that super dialed in for years! - But now for christmas I switched one machine over to a .4 nozzle and want to do some fun silk PLA prints for the kiddos. The main issue I am having printing a crystal dragon is all of the the overhangs seem to want to lift up and warp. So eventually the print fails because these warped tips collide with the nozzle and then create havoc. Adhesion is good. This is just an issue with heat or retraction settings is my guess - using ERYONE silk PLA. Any obvious pointers would be good. Thanks in advance!

    Are the slower speeds for silk only for the outer walls and top layers? The internals can still print at default fast settings?

    • @Darkwingdad
      @Darkwingdad  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Infill speed can be faster (50-55) walls should be around 30
      Bambu can be much faster though (close to double)

    Hello, great videos, I'm still getting a slight failure, I used your recommended settings and I can see two issues:
    1.-I seem to get more material on each layer than needed: I printed the benchy and the bottom letters are super thin like if the material was pushed outwards of its line. My e-steps are correct.
    2.-On the overhang areas specially the front tip of the ship, the very corner curls up with each layer, which later gets hit by the nozzle and brakes the print in some areas.
    Any tips on how to avoid these?
    Thank you very much!

    • @Darkwingdad
      @Darkwingdad  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      These retraction settings are for Bowden, with direct drive it’s different. You’ll definitely want to do a calibration test, direct drive retraction distance is typically 0.5-2.0mm speed 25-35mm/s but do a retraction test to verify. The reason it’s clogging is 6.0mm is far too high of a retraction for the gear drive and it cannot retract it down fast enough. Lower the retraction distance and you should be ok

    Hi, I'm new to 3d printing. I recently bought a FLSun SR with Silk PLA by SUNLU and as I ran out of the PLA that came with the 3d printer 2 days ago it was time to load that silk PLA in. Unfortunately, I've spent a part of my Saturday and my whole Sunday on trying to print a temp tower. The first layer and brim look good and seem well sticked to the hot bed then a few layers higher the model's right corners start to unstick from the bed and eventually lose all adhesion and screw the print. With the regular PLA I managed to print a pretty clean medium size Gangar/Venom without going through any testing prints after running into a few fails. I wanted to take the extra steps this time with the silk PLA but I can't even print a temp tower it's frustrating.

      Another fellow has a video claiming that Z Hop can actually ruin the prints. th-cam.com/video/4xyevbElGIU/w-d-xo.html
      In this video he shows that Z hop doesn't seem to help in preventing parts from being hit by the nozzle My experience on a well calibrated ender 3 is that enabling Z Hop causes too much stringing dropping the quality of the print. Have you experienced a quality improvement with silk filaments (compared to the same print with the setting disabled) or actually helping the nozzle not hitting the parts or the supports when silk filament is involved ?
