3D Print 50% Faster with These Tips! (Slicer Settings)

[@danb3859]

I'm pretty new new to 3D printing. I have a Qidi Tech X-Plus 3 (meh) and now an X1C (awesome). I've been playing around with some of the settings, and watching a lot of videos and reading a lot of FB posts. Your videos have been the most helpful, they are clear, concise, and not filled with ads or plugs for other stuff. You jump in, and give great info. Thanks! This video made me a subscriber!

[@Arne.Bornheim]

Thank you so much! 😊 Really happy to have you on the channel and happy I could help 😊

[@LLUEVE]

With larger nozzles, use Arachne. It cuts print time in half and maintains the detail of a nozzle size smaller. (Ex. 0.6mm nozzle with Arachne = 0.4mm nozzle) try it out! Great vid.

[@curtismorrow1196]

Watch at 1.25 speed to print even faster

[@Arne.Bornheim]

😉

[@xenontesla122]

I'm surprised I got recommended this so early! The tip about not optimizing small models is good. It's just not worth it to work for minutes in the slicer to shave off minutes of automatic print time.

[@Arne.Bornheim]

Yeah I think it's all a balancing act where it makes sense and where it doesn't 😊

[@sxeychick9622]

If you only plan to print it once. If you are going to maybe have to print it again… as people say “do it right the first time and save yourself in the long run.”

[@SebasTian-od7oz]

The title says it already. Too much of "trying to sell the video" at the start. Would much have preferred you just getting to the point. If you need to get over 10min then I'd recommend just researching and adding another "how to" point, which actually adds value. 3:41 Use the right click option "height range modifier" instead (for this specific use case). Now you won't need to fiddle around with sizing and positioning a body. 4:13 Good point making people aware of! Almost nobody talks about that in their "How to faster prints" videos. Overall nice video for beginners 👍

[@Arne.Bornheim]

Thanks for your detailed feedback! Will definitely keep the intro shorter in the future :) thanks about mentioning height modifiers! Definitely also a great tool.

[@RC-Flight]

Very useful info for this newb to filament printing!!! 🇨🇦

[@Arne.Bornheim]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JTs3DPrints]

Great methods to speed models along. I have been using three of these, glad I watched your video. I will go back and run new bins using all suggestions you mention. I have about 600 bins to print and at least 40 more grids to get done. I do use a 6 nozzle may try out the 8mm. The lighting infill should be good on gridfinity, not sure on higher quality models if I am big fan for its use. I did not jump on the gridfinity fan wagon until about ten weeks ago, now that I have used it in shop finding it is the best organizing system available for mutiple uses.

[@Arne.Bornheim]

Wow 600 bin’s is a lot to go! Yeah lightning infill doesn’t work for all models but is definitely with giving it a try. Especially at scale it makes a difference. Hope your system is coming along nicely !

[@cwelect1]

Thx. I learned a tip or 2 I didn't know. I'd like to pass one on that I have seen elsewhere...darker filament makes it easier to see details in videos.

[@Arne.Bornheim]

hmmmm thanks for the tip! haha yeah it's difficult. I think with black filament you see no shadows so it eats a lot of detail. But yeah the while definitely gets washed out pretty easily... maybe I'll just go for a color in the future 😊 !

[@pest5373]

you just took 11hrs off my mech print and the quality is identical to my first one

[@Arne.Bornheim]

Nice that‘s great to hear 😊 !

[@gianlucavendel]

dope video! Thank you for the Tips bro!

[@Arne.Bornheim]

You're welcome! love your videos !

[@gianlucavendel]

@ Thanks man! It means a lot!

[@kaas-bw7up]

Thank you very much, i wanted to print a huge warhammer helmet and one large part took 12 hours and now its only 7

[@Arne.Bornheim]

amazing to hear 😊 !hope the print turned out well

[@kaas-bw7up]

@Arne.Bornheim its going amazing, first i was afraid to print large things because i am not home most of the time and i cant leave the printer alone because there is no one else to look after it. Now i can finally print cool stuff haha

[@kylelaney4979]

I’m looking at these comments and I’ve never seen such a big group of nit pickers. It’s absolutely ridiculous. Some of the stuff people are saying. Very informative video, very high-quality video work, and very good commentary. You got my sub.

[@Arne.Bornheim]

thanks so much! really happy to have you on the channel 😊 !

[@DavidChad]

Agree! I found the video quite helpful. I’m a newbie,so much of this is new to me!

[@nonamemcgee4842]

Agreed. This video was very helpful for me as I'm just starting out.

[@MarkThomas123]

Another Priceless video. Less time, less filament.. Ha..Ha.. I figure I am going to be printing a couple hundred hours worth of boxes for organizing.. So, quality first to see what the printer setup can do, and migrating each set of prints with additional settings to see how fast I want to print for the quality of print I need/want to get the job done.. I like it.. Taking notes and documenting what works as you go.. Great Starter material... BTW.. A tip on another video.. Combining STL files to setup batch print jobs.. I think I am going to want to import several boxes into a single print and let it go vs single prints.. I have seen a video or two on stacking gridfinity bases to print a bunch of them at one time.. Have you tried or perfected that? A newbie video would be cool on that, since I think a lot of people start there.. Thanks again on another awesome video.. I can see me with 4 to 6 printers before this is over, sitting on top, or, dehumidifier boxes sitting over the printers and feeding the filament to the printers out of the dehumidifier boxes.. Figure I will have the cabinet base big enough to house whatever extra filament I buy for the printer startup. PLA, PETG, TPU for some Flex parts, not sure what else. Going to get some matching colors like black/white black/gray, white/gray, Black/Red, Blue/Red, etc, so, don't need a lot of colors to start. Going to buy Bambu filament with the printer and some of the cheapest I can find on Amazon of the same color and do some test prints and see how cheaper filament works compared to the Company filaments.. Any advice on Startup's is always welcome..

[@Scheettini]

Does this settings work for all the models or just for specific ones?

[@Arne.Bornheim]

There's always some experimentation to be done! For example, lightning infill works most of the time but will lead to less sturdy pars, so it depends on what you use it for

[@survival_man7746]

Sometime modifying the model can really help. For example at the bottom I just remove thickness until there is only a solid panel and no infill at the base ex 3 bottom layer + 3 top layer of 0.2mm then I would set the bottom thickness to 1.2mm. I can easily do this after in the slicer by moving down the model until I don't see any infill. If somebody would still prefer infill for increased stifness then this is not to do because a small panel with the same mass of a bigger panel with a low infill is often more flexible but not weaker tough, in fact it often is better at resisting impact due to the flexibility

[@JeromeDemers]

I have the 0.8mm nozzle and did not installed it yet, how is quality when you print 0.2mm height?

[@alecubudulecu]

Not good. In general you wanna stay above 60% the nozzle diameter for layer height. It’ll work if you go super slow at .2 …. In Pla. But if you do any other material … it’s gonna be a mess. You should really stay about .38

[@jankupcik7072]

@@JeromeDemers good but takes a lot of time

[@shawnshawn8888]

Thanks. I learnt something

[@Arne.Bornheim]

Happy to hear :) !

[@Factorian_Designs]

Great video!

[@Arne.Bornheim]

Thanks ! Definitely got some inspiration from your video!

[@coalachaos6486]

My Ender 3 V2 Mod prints at 650mm/s. 😅 There is no more room for more, as it is really just a couple figures lower than grinding, overheating steppers and frame stability issues 😂. So here is my advise: IF you want the maximum- Test your hardware first with some codes and macros, before changing amything in the printer config data. THEN tune it up in the slicer. Otherwise it will always cap the maximum. Cheers

[@Teachers-Pet]

My print went from 1 hour 28 min to 28 min. TYSM

[@TheCubeFactor]

How long have you been printing?

[@Bad.Ju.Ju.]

The tips shown here were good, the beginning of the video was a little too long, it looks more like a commercial at the very beginning. Keep doing vids like these, if you can add expert tips in the future that would be great too!

[@Arne.Bornheim]

Thanks so much for the feedback :) happy you liked the video! But noted: shorter info and some more in depth tips 😊

[@omicrondec]

​@@Arne.BornheimI'm very much in favor of keeping intros as short as possible. Generally speaking on KZbin, it's wild how many channels give an intro and proceed to repeat the exact things they just said before getting to the actual information. I've been skipping straight to minute 1:00 or 2:00 on a lot of videos.

[@Dplay100]

[@sxeychick9622]

0:10 Don’t bother watching if you have been printing longer than 2 months. There’s nothing new in this video that hasn’t been said by every other KZbinr for the last 5 years.

[@Rhodeyguytom]

Lmao ty

[@uss_liberty_incident]

Thanks!

[@Rupertcreations]

Start at 01:18. I will be appreciate if you will not only save my print time, but also watching time.

[@Arne.Bornheim]

Thanks for the feedback ! 😊 Will do in the future

[@loopymind]

So what your saying is, it all depends on what you're printing and isn't a catch all solution

[@Arne.Bornheim]

Well I think different settings are right for every print! There's no one way to do it that works all the time. It's more about having a toolkit you can use 😊

[@bryanethier1910]

Explained simply.

[@xXP1ZZAxD3MONXx]

im sad i didnt learn anything ):

[@habiks]

hey, it's his first printer.. he thinks he's reinventing the wheel.

[@Splarkszter]

​@@habiks Yeah. lol

[@Arne.Bornheim]

Sorry there wasn't anything new in it for you. But are there any settings / tips you'd like to add that could further improve it ?

[@sxeychick9622]

⁠@@Arne.BornheimHow about if you want to make quality content that makes you money, YOU figure out new tips that would actually be helpful. There’s nothing in this video that hasn’t been said in 100 videos over the last 5 years.

[@hologos_]

Why so much hostility? 😳

[@prodbypaiva9974]

Sean Strickland´s hobbie is 3d printing?

[@Arne.Bornheim]

it's all about balance in life. so you need a peaceful hobby 😃

[@dazuio7175]

Hi! Ich hatte schon mal ein paar Videos von dir gesehen aber meistens nur die ersten 5 max 10 minuten. Das meiste Content war nix neues für mich (ich verfolge vieles auf Englisch), dein "click bait" video hat mir gezeigt dass du andere Sachen machen kannst als nur Reviews, was ich gar nicht gedacht hätte, z.b. Sachen mit sensors und actuators, was mich sehr interessiert. I will keep an eye on your Channel. Viel Erfolg aber auch viel Spaß ;)

[@jankupcik7072]

1. yap yap yap 2. didnt learn anything

[@C.E.S.A.R]

😂

[@bsaddresss]

Bro… what’s with the Jazz hands… it’s really distracting. Good video otherwise. 👍

[@Arne.Bornheim]

It's my background in musicals 😉 haha no but thanks for the feedback, you're always so focussed in front of camera that you end up not realizing what you do with your hands

[@HankBukowski]

​@@Arne.Bornheim You're fine. Don't change a thing.

[@drpainsjourney]

ADHD? And all the places to make short part of the video is REALLY annoying!

[@drpainsjourney]

It might be "cool" to make this kind of intro, but ... would you PLEASE consider to be sitting down ONE place, and not around the house???? It's kinda annoying. You first say: You can easily turn the INFILL down, it will not really impact the STRENGTH of your model. For moments later, say: You can add this "cube" and make THIS part with better strength, wish was the FIRST you say infill did not do... Errmmmmmm .... Did I miss something here?

[@KB0parsi]

bro chill with the camera angle changes. You don't have to change camera angle for each sentence.

[@Arne.Bornheim]

thanks for the feedback. i've since toned it down a bit

[@bertillethdalsgaard9341]

I find you video style a bit to dramatic, i think cutting a third as much to slightly less extreme angels, would convey the professional tone better. The quick cuts distract from the video

[@Arne.Bornheim]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@ClarkeLSmith]

I like the quick cuts and different angles. I’m a professional cameraman and Steadicam Operator and I think that this use of various angles in your video was creative

[@Splarkszter]

Why do I keep thinking there will be a "magic hidden bullet" on these videos then absolutely nothing new is said and it's just buttons. I'm in search for 3d slicing algorithms, not buttons that everyone sees.

[@Arne.Bornheim]

I think it's about building the right toolkit that you can use depending on the situation. What do you mean by algorithms? Something that does all the work for you or the right set of things to do to get it right all the time ?

[@Splarkszter]

@@Arne.Bornheim More technical stuff like speed optimized toolpaths, better bridging algortims, XYZ printing (not only XY printing), water tight walls, new developments on adaptive infills, organic supports that release more easily from the part without then need for multimaterial, etc.

[@kjellkarlsson9243]

Bla. Bla. Bla. Bullshit Bla bla bla

[@ClarkeLSmith]

Why?

[@Raycefan]

Awesome. What if I’m not using Bambu Labs proprietary slicer? Thanks for nothing.

[@Arne.Bornheim]

Most of these settings apply to most slicers. Also you could use orca slicer which is free, works with tons of printers and is based on Bambu Studio

[@musicguy8912]

Use Orca it's the same thing if you want that slicer but all of these settings are on every slicer I've ever used.

[@drpainsjourney]

Ehhhh you did not know that ORCA slicer is the same, did you? nooo.. instead, you are bashing shit, because you are LAZY! Do your OWN darn research if you want to learn something!
