Production

D3D Pro

• 50% infill for real print.
• Test print at 20%: 10 cm cut off the bottom, standing on corner - . This would not stand on moving-bed printers. Babystepping correction -0.75. It does not stand on a stationary bed printer eiether. I turned it around to print standing on 6 points.

• Came off bed so printed it on 6 corners:

• Initial fit: metal shown with 6 mm hex nut and set screw in the hole.

• STL - sunk 5 mm into bed. Test print at 20%, takes 8.5 hrs. Production print: 50% infill, 10:10 hours, 133 g. Brim 10 lines. Prints starting on 6 corners, for a solid base.

D3D Simple

Printer profile - File:D3duniversal 7.ini - 100%, see support parameters.

Results:

1. 100% infill - no way. Not enough stick to bed, starts warping after excellent first layer.
2. 100% infill - roughed up surface with sand paper, 8 line brim. No way. Still comes right off.
3. Painter's tape - reduce infill to 20% for a less solid part but still bootstrappable to D3D Pro.
