Finally completed. It takes quite some time to get all parts done for multiple layers. But the vase design and the use of a 0.6mm nozzle make it a breeze. All fits nicely and seems quite sturdy. A nice reuse of the leftover Prusa spools.
Edit:
I solved it, it wasn't extruding extra dots, a slicer setting named "reduce wall crossing" is to blame. Usually this is usefull so travel moves of the nozzle won't go through already printed walls, whenever it's possible.
In this case the springs are printed and the nozzle travels all the way along the spring lines. These long travels leed to oozing which is seen on the first picture.
On the second picture in blue you see the travel moves when "reduce wall crossing" is activated. On the 3rd one with it deativated.
Maybe you could add in the print settings that one should deativate the slicer setting "reduce wall crossing" for the spring print.
Anyone else having problems printing the spring with a 0.6mm nozzle? It seems after printing the springs the printer wants to print tiny dots into the inner radii which messes up the print.
My first idea was to change from arachne to classic wall generator, but in the slicer preview I still see it doing the tiny dots.
Any ideas? (edited)
A so smart design.
Center parts and spring printed with Filamentum CPE, top and bottom with Prusament PETG and drawers with ArianPlast PLA.
So little filament used, the design is very intelligent.
Thank you very much. (edited)
Ran out of another filament, gonna make a second layer. Good and fast way to upcycle the spools!
Really cool design, especially being made for printing in vase mode. However I do not like that the individual levels spin almost freely, the only thing holding in place being the spring component. Upon loading with nuts and bolts it's very heavy and I definitely wouldn't use anything weaker than PETG for the core components.
@Fredslund Thank you for the awesome design.
One question though: Do you have the high and low drawers also available with the new cool guide feature?
Thanks and Cheers!
@3lfriede_759211 , for this design version there is only the medium draw size, but it can be combined with the high and low from previous version.
