Colorfabb NGEN settings

I printed some parts yesterday with Slicr settings provided by Prusa for 1.75 filament. Hotened 240 deg C with an heated bed of 85 deg C. I got better prints with less stringing with Simplfy 3D using supports. I find 228 - 235deg C is better for NGEN. and a heated bed of 75 deg C

Re: Colorfabb NGEN settings

I just bought about 10kg of nGen. After A LOT of tweaking and many 3D Benchy's, I've gotten the best results with the following settings for nGen:

Print Temp: 240C
First Layer Temp: 220C
Extrusion Multiplier: 1.00
Extrusion Width: Auto
Retraction Distance: 1.00
Retraction Speed: 2700
Coasting Distance: 0.50
Wipe Distance: 2.00

Top and Bottom Layers: 4
Outline Shells: 3

Infill Outline Overlap: 35%

Fan off for layers 1-3.
Fan capped at 35% for layers 4 and up, except for bridging, which is 100%. I'm considering reducing fan speed even more.

Default Printing Speed: 2400
Bridging Speed Multiplier: 50%

Some other small tweaks here and there, but those are the main ones.

Re: Colorfabb NGEN settings

Thanks for your detailed settings, I just bought some of this and being a newb I am having trouble locating some of your settings in my Slic3r setup.

Retraction Speed: 2700 ------>so this is 27mm/s?
Coasting Distance: 0.50----->I could not locate this
Wipe Distance: 2.00----->I could not locate this
Infill Outline Overlap: 35% ------> i am not sure where to find this?

Fan capped at 35% for layers 4 and up------->so Min is 0 and Max is 35%
Default Printing Speed: 2400------>Where is this located in the Print Settings under Speed, there are many choices
Bridging Speed Multiplier: 50%---->I could not locate this

thanks for any help on this

Thanks Omikron for taking the time to post these settings. Printing my second test print (Marvin) with it and I can already see major improvement over the default Slic3r profile. Would it be possible for you to share your FFF profile for Ngen so I can match your settings exactly?
