11.12 Dialing in new materials
Even though each manufacturer produces slightly different material, they belong to a same
group. For example, Prusa PLA and ColorFabb PLA will have a slightly different output when
printed.
To achieve the best possible output, you should experiment with the
nozzle temperature
,
fan speed
,
print speed
and
flow
. All of these can be changed even during a print from the
Tweak
menu on the LCD panel.
The same idea also applies even for materials which are not listed here.
Take the
manufacturer-suggested settings, find the closest match in Slic3r material profiles, modify
and save as new.
Continue by printing a few simple test pieces and continuously use
the Tweak menu.
After each improvement, don’t forget to modify the settings in Slic3r.
Reset the tweak values before every print.
Don’t forget to share your settings on our forums or directly with us.
