10 3d Printer Slicer Suggestions for Better Prints (Part 1)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มิ.ย. 2024
- For many people using a 3d printing, the slicer is the hardest part of 3d printing. With hundreds of combinations of settings, it may seem impossible to produce excellent prints.
This two-part series introduces the viewer to tips I have found useful for creating excellent 3d prints on a range of 3d printers. Many of the tips are demonstrated on Cura 4, Prusa Slicer and Simplify3d.
I use these techniques on my Prusa i3 Mk3, on Creality Ender 3 pro and Ender 5 printers and on multiple Monoprice 3d prints.
Please leave you favorite slicer tips in the comments.
Let's continue to learn things together.

The channel is great and it's growing which it deserves to.
AMAZING VIDEO!
Excellent as always Dr Vax, this is really good stuff and first rate narration by your good self!
Another great video! Looking forward to Part 2
Thanks Doc you straightened me out on a few thinks. Love your channel.
I was wondering about rather the the fill or wall thickness was the most important and you have answered that question. Thanks so much.
Glad I was able to help.
Your vids are so helpful! Thank you!
You are always so cheer, i like you mood and of course topics.
Great stuff Dr. Vax. Thank you.
Thanks for commenting

You are a great teacher, you describe step by step, so that everyone understands, the best greetings from Argentina, I hope soon the next video
I've been chasing an under extrusion problem on a new printer for days now, going through settings with a microscope, doing test prints on evolutions of findings, bed leveling after bed leveling (though I did also find that the bed is so warped that I got a replacement out of the warranty department) etc, and still having them fail. I came across one of your videos (and have been binging them in the background since!) and may have finally found the problem, and man, it's a massive face palm. Somehow in all the custom profiles I made for a non-supported printer (a massive delta in Cura), after upgrading to 4.5, the filament reverted to the base 2.85, and of course I'm using 1.75. And somehow I got through the printer tab just fine and missed the extruder tab. Oh $#!t!!
Guess who just had a massive deletion party wiping 2 weeks of prep models...
God bless you sir
Very good video as always and a nice nod to Stefan over at CNC Kitchen. I have a long list of channels I watch when I want to know how to do something with my printer. DrVax, Chep, Michael over at Teaching Tech, Thomas Sanladerer, Angus at Makers Muse... the list goes on and on. Generally, when I want to know why I'm doing something, I visit Stefan's channel. Keep up the good work and I look forward to watching part two of this topic.
your a good teacher thanks alot
Thanks for the comment.
These are very helpful. Do you have a video on printer maintenance?
No. But a great idea. Let me get in into the schedule.
Thank you for great videoI was wonderingIs it possibleTo use optimise wall in Prusa Slicer.?Keep up the great work.
Again an awesomely instructional video. I was hoping you would have commented on Gyroid Fill type, but otherwise all the detail was very helpful.
I am planning to do a video where I will print without tops each of the fill patterns available and show and discuss them in a video. My list of potential videos is getting quite long and I have two new printer reviews I will be doing over the next few weeks. So it may be a while but I will get to it.
Thanks Dr Vax. Awesome info. I just printed a test Benchy but am having trouble getting the bas off the bottom. Can you tell me hat settings I should be looking at please? Cheers
This was so helpful, but I can't find part 2!
Hi ,
Have you ever made a part 2?
Would be great!
Thank you so much for this. I cannot find the right setting so see everything the same you do when previewing. I cannot see all the colours you have in Cura. I also have it set to layer view and Line Type. Any advice will be most welcome.
You, Sir, are a national treasure. Thanks for sharing, the way you do it is so easy and enjoyable to learn. ~(:~)
Many thanks!
have you tried Stereolithography (SLA)
printer or DLP?
Not yet
Great video. What version of CURA are you using? I have never seen the option to see the print progress of a layer. I use the preview all the time, but can only see one layer at a time, not the movement within a layer.
4.1
If You can't see it, your graphic card is obsolete and Cura runs in compatibility mode.
@@kubo527 Thanks for the idea. I'm running an I5 using the internal on chip graphics, would that be the problem?
@@woodwaker1
Most likely yes...
new to cure looking to be better at it were can I find information
Can't find part 2
Seems to me this was 90% Cura which I don't use.
Yep. However why the names of parameters are different the concepts are similar across slicers.
