How do I print this business card glider?
I've been trying to print this:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1959595
The model is tall, skinny and top heavy so it starts to sway at around 120mm tall and then the little bit of resistance between the nozzle and the model knocks it over.
I've tried
- Plain model
- 10mm brim
- 15mm brim with a support mesh surrounding the most flexible part
Any suggestions on how to print such a model?
Re: How do I print this business card glider?
One person in the comments said they had to slow the speed down on a mk3 to 25% to get it to print successfully. Maybe add a raft instead of a brim also?

Hi Marc
try the attached files, there are an STL and Gcode for a Mk3
I have added a thin blade to give stability without adding too much waste
Hope it works.

Re: How do I print this business card glider?
While the forums were down yesterday, this is pretty much what I tried.
Joan's support is cleverer than mine.
I added a long skinny cone as a support mesh in Cura up to the thinnest part and slowed the print speed way down to 25%
For the last 20% I got a bit worried and slowed it down to 15%. I don't think I had to do this. Anyway the print worked, but I had a bit of stringing.

but I seem to have done the G code for the Mk2 MMUv1 single colour mode
so if you have an MMU you are all set, otherwise, slice the STL Please
