What is you max reliable flow for 95A TPU? I'm using 9mm² on a K1max, and that is perhaps a bit low?
@supercurioTube5 ай бұрын
@@ZappyOh the max usable depends quite a bit based which TPU, extruder and nozzle. To give you an idea, with a direct drive (CR-10 V3) and 0.6mm nozzle, I calibrated to: - 12.5 mm³/s on AmazonBasics TPU 95A - 9.6 mm³/s on Overture TPU A few % above that, the extrusion becomes inconsistent then the filament buckles and escapes its path. I'm sure the temperature influences that too but I haven't tested. BTW, the Shore hardness of the TPU seems to be the main factor, I measured - AmazonBasics TPU 95A: 95.5A, 48D - Overture TPU: 89A, 40D - Fiberflex 40D: 94.5A, 38D OrcaSlicer Max Flow Rate works perfectly to evaluate that one. But for quality including on tricky overhangs you might need to go much lower on softer filaments.

At least in Marlin, jerk doesn't mean acceleration change rate as in physics. It's actually the maximum allowed instantaneous change In speed.

Except for E jerk, that one limits printing acceleration when using linear advance (nozzle pressure needs to be achieved instantaneously for now in Marlin. Working on that)

Printing to fast or cold can also cause the Matt finish you spoke of, which is also a sign the print will likely have weak layer adhesion and you should raise the hot end print temp or slow down, or a combination there of. Shiny finish tends to equate to a stronger layer to layer bond and stronger part in my experience.

@evanbarnes99845 ай бұрын
I was just thinking about this yesterday, because every print that comes off our Bambu printers at work comes out matte, but every print on our mk4s comes out shiny, even when they both use the same filament. And similarly, the Bambu prints are much more brittle with worse layer adhesion. It's nice to have the option to trade quality for speed since we use these for rapid prototyping, but I think Bambu was too aggressive in their stock tunings. It's impressively fast, but I often need the slower mk4s for strong and dimensionally accurate prints. This is such a fascinating technology!

The best way to deal with this is to run a max volumetric speed test for your filament (Orca Slicer). On that test print you will notice a flow rate at which the finish changes. Set the max volumetric flow for that filament according to the results of the flow test. After that you can set your layer height, extrusion width, accelerations and speeds however you want in the print settings and the slicer will make sure the print speed is capped so as not to exceed the max volumetric flow rate you set in the filament profile. Subsequent prints will not show those artifacts from the vid regardless of acceleration because the volumetric flow rate will not exceed what you put in the filament profile.

Yeah, but in the real world of printing objects, the flow rate is dependent on print head acceleration (and velocity) to lay down a consistently shaped bead of plastic. Though, if you set a max flow-rate, the terminal velocity will be capped at the max flow-rate. I don't think acceleration will be though.

@@Sembazuru not really, slow movement and high flow rate is possible, fast movement with low flow rate is also possible, just print a max flow rate test in orca on PETG, it is cleaatly visible If you want certain look/properties you make sure to extrude as much as possible at the target flowrate
