Ignore Extrusion Lengths Under x.xx mm  

RE: Ignore Extrusion Lengths Under x.xx mm

I think Print Settings->Advanced->Slicing->Slice gap closing radius might help, possibly Resolution as well. If you can zip and upload your 3MF project file, we can test your settings against your part and possibly make some other suggestions.

Hey Bob,

Here's the zip and I put an image of one particular area I've had trouble with on the lowest layers. Your feedback is really appreciated.

Looking at that your model isnt flat on the bottom so almost the entire first layer is printed on support.  You may as well use a raft. 

For that model the usual way would be to print upright or tilt it back at something close to 45 degrees so most of the support connect to the back.  That model even when doing that still requires support on the model for the chin.  Whichever way you do it its going to require lots and lots of support.  It certainly wasn't designed with fdm printing in mind.

For that particular model if you really want to print in that orientation id try the raft.  Me I'd stand upright, trim off 0.4mm from the bottom to give the feet more surface area and then spend a lot of time placing support enforcers.  btw your support contact distance of 0.03 is going to make them very difficult to remove.

There's a lot of very non standard settings in the profiles like 1 perimeter and 5% infill/perimeter overlap that I'm not sure why as more perimeters gives the irregular shapes of the model more to bond to.

@acirillo59 - Sorry, I've shifted to printing COVID face shields for now so won't be able to look at this for a few days at least. I hope you figure it out, and when things settle down again, I hope to be in touch. Other good folks here can help you as well!
