Printing This Part
Slicing
Orientation
Part | Notes | Example |
---|---|---|
Modular Mount Plate | We recommend printing this part with the flat side directly on the build plate. | |
Modular Mount Head – Two-Prong | We recommend printing this part with the prongs parallel to the build plate. | |
Modular Mount Head – Three-Prong | We recommend printing this part with the prongs parallel to the build plate and the rounded edge pointed up. |
Settings
Modular Mount Plate
We start with the default "Standard Quality" 0.2 mm print profile. We recommend the following settings overrides:
Setting | Recommendation | Notes |
---|---|---|
Shell - Wall Line Count | 4 | This was increased from the default to increase the durability when higher amounts of stress are applied. |
Shell - Bottom Layers | 4 | This will provide sturdy walls for each prong. |
Shell - Top Layers | 4 | This will provide sturdy walls for each prong. |
Infill - Density | 45 | This part can be subject to high stress and more infill will provide greater structural integrity. |
Infill - Pattern | Tri-Hexagon
Cubic Subdivision |
These infill patterns provide good internal support in multiple directions. Tri-Hexagon uses less filament but is also less durable. |
Speed - Print Speed | 40mm/s | For final production prints, we recommend printing slower than average to decrease stringing with small holes. |
Support - Generate Support | Yes | This part has a small overhang that would be improved by supports. |
Support - Support Structure | Tree | We highly recommend tree supports instead of normal supports. They take more time, but they require less filament and are much easier to remove. |
Support - Support Placement | Touching Buildplate | Only printing supports that touch the build plate are much easier to remove from this print. |
Build Plate Adhesion - Adhesion Type | None | This part has a lot of contact with the print bed and should not require a raft. |
