3D Printing Tips (cont’d)
Standard PLA Extrusion Multiplier (Flow):
You will need to experiment with extrusion multiplier for
your particular printer and material. You will likely land
somewhere between 0.95 and 1.05 extrusion multiplier.
3DAeroventures Simplify3D Factory Files:
You will notice our factory file presets are setup to provide
a balance between strength and light weight structures.
Strategic areas are setup with slightly thicker walls with the
rest of the structure using the “Allow Single Extrusion Walls”
option selected.
Elephant’s Foot:
Try to avoid the first few layers of each print from
squishing too far outside the designed wall dimensions,
also known as “elephant’s foot”. This can be caused by
your nozzle being too close to the print bed or first layer
width set too high in your slicer. A small amount of
elephant’s foot is okay but too much will interfere with
the designed alignment aids.
Support Structures:
The “Canopy” part of this aircraft requires support
structures and it’s recommended to use your slicer’s
auto-generated support tructures. The GCode and
the Simplify3D FactoryFiles already have the
support structures in place.
