There is a delicate balance between fast prints and higher quality. We are looking at variable(adaptive) layer height. Why it's there, what it does and how to apply it.

Thank you for the idea. Still trying to "make it make sense" in video form. For the most part I skip variable layer height unless I make a big model with rounded tops that look like topical elevation maps. 👍

@Pics2FlicksDennis 7 ай бұрын

Very useful. Thanks. I would still like a more technical explanation of these features. Even your excellent video is mostly “click here, move this slider, and see how it improves”. I’d like to understand what and why things are done, technically. BTW, I found the Bambu Lab Wiki on this topic to be virtually useless.

@ashleys3dprintshop 7 ай бұрын

Hey hey, thank you for watching and the feedback. Keeping with the theme of this playlist(bambu studio for beginners) I try to keep things light. Once I started that project I quickly realized I could fall into CNC kitchen levels of data and it all can change based on filament, nozzle size, temp, line width... When the question initially was "how can I make the tops rounded and reduce the topography map. 🥲 @.4mm nozzle, Ideally the balance of speed vs quality boils down to even lines for walls can be fine around .16-.20mm without exploding the print times. Tightly packing each layer(low layer height) may look great for some applications and imperceptible in others even with a higher layer height. Since a lot of this situational I lean more towards showing the steps vs recommending a one size fits all solution...if that makes sense. Going to .08mm may only be worth it for curved tops and even then you will not completely remove the stair stepping effect, just reduce it. If you wanted the printer to print the best it can , assuming time is not an issue you theoretically could print in .08mm. Also I didnt mention you can post process these with sanding, fillers etc.

Good video, thank you. I had no idea this existed and you explained it very well. I wish it was not only based on layers but instead focused on the skin of the part. I don't need the finest details (and added print time) inside the part, just what's visible. So somehow print default coarse internally but anything I can see in angled layers be treated with higher resolution. PS: hopefully you noticed a bit of a bumpy audio track. Maybe related to WiFi connection or CPU overrun.

@ashleys3dprintshop 9 ай бұрын

Thank you. There are so many options and settings in these slicers that I'm still trying to wrangle a decent instructional video. I think when we can get non-planer printing we can get smoother transition between layers. But that would require a completely different printer. I'm going to update the audio system(again) to one with a safety track to audio those bumps.

@alexanderkempf9828 Ай бұрын

The problem I have is that the resulting print doesn't actually improve with adaptive layer height. What else could be the problem?

@ashleys3dprintshop Ай бұрын

@@alexanderkempf9828 rounded or curved tops get a benefit with lower adaptive layers. Depending on your model there may not be enough layers to fix the stair effect. So basically there will always be a stair setp effect but you can reduce it with the lowest layer height. Quality can be improved with line width too. There is a limit though. I recommend the Line width video but short option for a .4mm nozzle would be a line width of .3mm for outer walls/text. I started writing before asking a question but what are you trying to improve? Curved top, flat top, text etc?

@@ashleys3dprintshop i’ll take a look at your other video. I’m essentially trying to design something that looks like a sand dune in the shape of a half dollar; in other words, imagine a puck the size of a half dollar that has a completely flat bottom but the top has a gentle curve to it that slopes upward on one side. I’m running into the classic problem of the shallow part of the incline looking very blocky, but when the slope is very steep, it looks totally fine. Even printing at the smallest possible layer height with the smallest possible nozzle (0.2 mm), there is still a blocky, topographic map effect where the incline is shallow. The only way I was able to solve it was to just sand it down, but that takes way too long.

How do .8 Nozzle settings configuration.( Layer highest and speed setup)

@ashleys3dprintshop 6 ай бұрын

So the nozzles have an upper and lower limit for layer height .2mm nozzle .04-.14mm .4mm nozzle .08-.28mm .6mm nozzle .14- .42mm .8mm nozzle .16-.56mm There is also an option to lower the line width to help speed and quality. It's explained here but with a 0.4mm nozzle. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWeQopuOZ7hnf7s Speed gets a bit trickier to pin down since it is model dependent but typically larger layers theoretically print faster.

What about flat tops though. I use sill and the top always looks bad. Like disney name plates for instance.

@ashleys3dprintshop Ай бұрын

Flat tops do not benefit much with variable layer height as it only affects the layers before the top.

@rodrigodiazduran5096 5 ай бұрын

Hi mate, thanks for a very good explanation. I have a question, how do you set the supports when using adaptive layer?

@ashleys3dprintshop 4 ай бұрын

Hello, Sorry about the late reply. The supports will *auto adjust* for the layer height. Typically support layer height is larger height then the actual model for instance a .2mm layer height may have a .26 layer height for supports just like a .08mm model layer height will have around a .16mm layer height for supports. Fortunately the slicer handles it all without much input from the user. You can see it in action when you slice and change *Line Type" to *Layer Height*
