Printer Brand:
Wanhao
Printer:
Rafts:
No
Supports:
No
Resolution:
.1 mm layer height
Infill:
30% this is critical that you make it at least 30 percent
Notes:
I printed this on a monoprice maker select plus (a rebrand of the wanhao, identical printer)
if you want to speed up print time, keep the outer layer slow, so it looks good, but increase the infill print speed.
IMPORTANT: you MUST have AT LEAST a .8mm shell thickness or the supports will fuse with the model! (need the model to be strong enough that when the supports are removed they dont take some of the model with them)
A brim does help with bed adhesion.
for scale, the model is ~27.2mm tall including base. i would strongly recommend not printing this any smaller, there are already very small and fragile features as it is.
a dremel and a pliers and a flush cut to remove any stringing and the break-away supports. be careful removing supports, the model has many detailed features.
cut the supports away for much better results.
if you do not have a dremel, when cutting the supports with a flush cutter or similar tool, try to cut vertically. these tools have wedge shaped blades and force layers apart wrecking the model if cutting horizontally. cutting vertically or almost so is the way to go
consider donating please, it really helps me stay motivated to keep spending the time to make these amidst my university studies, and the time to take pictures and post these :) thanks
