ebmar 893 Posted May 29, 2018 Those detailed lines on the middle thing there; is that a result of your CAD work or was the material doing it? Quote Share this comment Link to comment
DarthParametric 3,784 Posted May 30, 2018 There's a chamfer that runs through the middle of the ring of holes. The marks are from the way the printer handled the top layer on the inside half of that chamfer. On the outside, the filament was laid down in a series of nice, neat concentric circles in parallel with the outside diameter of the part. On the inside it looks like it has mushed in some infill in various criss-cross patterns rather than doing a neat top layer. The part probably needs some custom settings for those layers, to force it to use solid infill (although it should have handled that automatically). 1 Quote Share this comment Link to comment
ebmar 893 Posted May 30, 2018 I am very sorry as you already typed a long detailed-explanation there, but it seems I still can't follow 100%; so those lines supposed to be a neat-slick surface in the first place? 🤔 Seriously DP, I thought those lines were intended and I am very impressed by them details. Good luck with how the thing's going anyways, as we're curious with how the end-result are Quote Share this comment Link to comment
DarthParametric 3,784 Posted May 31, 2018 I can't really explain it any better, but yes, the general idea is the outer section that is smooth and uniform is how the whole thing is supposed to look. Quote Share this comment Link to comment
