Perimeter settings in slicer ?

Hi Guys,

I am developing a profile in NYLON for my Mini

The model i am working with needs to hold water when printed and i was wondering if there is a setting in the slicer to vary the overlap of perimeters in the model ?

I have found the setting for the overlap of the infil and the perimeters but wondered if there is a setting for the overlap of multiple perimeters ?

Thanks

Steve B

Hi Diem,

Thanks for this, but i am just a beginner and have not played with the Gcodes before.

I found the place the article refers to, there is this already there ...

M900 K{if printer_notes=~/.*PRINTER_MODEL_MINI.*/ and nozzle_diameter[0]==0.6}0.12{elsif printer_notes=~/.*PRINTER_MODEL_MINI.*/}0.2{elsif nozzle_diameter[0]==0.6}0.04{else}0.08{endif} ; Filament gcode LA 1.5
{if printer_notes=~/.*PRINTER_MODEL_MINI.*/};{elsif printer_notes=~/.*PRINTER_HAS_BOWDEN.*/}M900 K200{elsif nozzle_diameter[0]==0.6}M900 K24{else}M900 K45{endif} ; Filament gcode LA 1.0

Should i replace the above with M900 K0 as the article suggests ??

Or add it at the end ??

Cheers

Steve

Make a backup copy of your filament profile (so you can roll back if you mess up), and replace the whole of that big conditional with M900 K0

That's all ...

... just take care not to use that profile for general, non waterproof, prints or you'll have problems.

 

Cheerio,
