Bro I searched wide and far looking for a vid like this and yours is BY FAR the best and most detailed so thank you for posting this!! Long story short, I printed my 1st benchy with your settings and needless to say Mortal Kombat "FLAWLESS VICTORY"... THANKS AGAIN and keep em coming NOOBS like me GREATLY APPRECIATE THE HELP and GUIDANCE!!!

Thanks you for the insight, I really liked the way you explained it hopefully you’ll make more.

[@Schnippen_Schnappen1]

Thank you so much i was so frustrated with my prints. This settings are pretty much perfect! Supports break off so easy too. Only thing with the fuzzy skin finish it was hard to stick and pull magazines in and out but just a little work with a file and they are smooth now. Also printed rails down with zero top layers lol so i have to do it again ,still works but i’m OCD and want a nice finish. I was using PSR settings and this works much much better on my aquila s2 with cura 4.13.1 HUGE THANKS MANY FREE INTERNETS FOR YOU BLESS YOU

This is great! Hopefully my 2A benchies will start looking like more than the rough dimpled blobs they are. Any chance you could do a video on how you finish them? I.e. sanding, acetone bath, anything like that?

I've been having problems trying to print one I've tried different things you're the first person to put up settings like this hope your settings are on the up and up and legit that they will work for me cuz I'm using an Ender 3 Pro it's a pain in the ass to level out I've been trying to find mesh bed leveling if somebody had the G cold program or a CR touch money's tight too many bills would love to buy a new printer like the new Ender 5 with the self leveling and filament sensor Christmas is coming maybe you can buy me one and send it to me I would appreciate that

[@smokieshootshoot]

I’d love one of those myself good luck and let me know how the settings work out for you

[@ShaunBennett]

With CF-PA try 35c for bed temp, it seems to work better for me. And even with Klipper on Ender 3v2 I still keep speeds under 40mms

[@juanochoa2586]

QUICK QUESTION, so you said down below you dont do any finish work on your benchies. So im assuming all the parts function fine with the rough top side after removing supps? Mine doesnt look too bad but I was just wondering if the horizontal lines would interfere with some of the sliding parts, if that makes sense? What are thoughts on printing R's up for cleaner top side? Im trying that now!

Was just digging for a good straight to the point video on this,thank you so much,I have a ender 3,and I use cura,I've had issues on resume print,when I resume print where it stopped it left a hard bubble that couldn't be removed and then it starting resume printing outside of the print ultimately destroying the whole print,any tips?

[@weilam03]

i wouldnt use resume print on anything like this. i dont find it reliable at all

[@smokieshootshoot]

I find that if I have to pause a print I can only really pause it for about 1 min tops befor I end up with any off filament issues. But it’s hit and miss tbh

[@AaaBbb-vy7zh]

[@Schnippen_Schnappen1]

I’m also using PSRs on a voxelab aquila will report after i try this

[@weilam03]

ive used your settings for 3 one handed benchys and theyve turned out great, i had to tweek a few of your settings but not much. the prints go faster than PSRsby like 20-40 me ns. i had to skip fuzzy slin because some prints will vibrate too much with the thin support's and if you print rails down dont do zero top layers

[@drove1213]

To be honest, I don’t really watch pie print for the first lines around and adjust while it’s moving. Once you’re set you shouldn’t need to touch it for a minute though, but I use my eyeballs.

What Carbon Fiber Nylon filament are you using? I can’t seem to find in PA-12…

[@RustyCoupe215]

So as far as speed goes and layer adhesion, if you had a fast printer, like my Anycubic Kobra 2, what settings would you run or still stick with 50 for 2A benches?

[@smokieshootshoot]

TBH i couldnt tell you... Sorry

[@missile1506]

I'm running Cura 5.3. The "wall thickness" setting is grayed out because it is overwritten by other settings. However, I can't figure which one that would be. There is a "wall line width" setting under Quality, but it is set to 0.4mm. I can't figure out how to replicate the 0.8mm setting you have shown at time 2:51. And thanks for the great starting point!

[@smokieshootshoot]

Unfortunately I don’t know how to get around this you may want to try and reach out to 3-D print general as he’s a bit better at this than I am

[@gameaddict6969]

Do you usually select "Everywhere" or "Touching Buildplate only"? I have something on the printer rails down now using "Everywhere" but I'm afraid the supports are going to be stuck to the piece.

[@smokieshootshoot]

Everywhere

[@HugePhart]

Thanks for sharing! My Diamondback nozzle has been outstanding for CF on my Ender 3. I tried doing a 15 degree angle but getting CF out of the interior of the frame is nearly impossible. Do you do rails up?

[@smokieshootshoot]

I go both ways, lol it all depends on how well the printer is calibrated when I first started it was always rails up now that I halfway know what I’m doing it’s rails down

[@HugePhart]

@@smokieshootshoot that’s likely my issue. My prints are super clean on the outside but I think I need work on the supports. The locking block and trigger housing region in particular are a nightmare. Could I get them cleaned out and useable, yes. But, in the end it would be subpar. Back to Cura I go!

[@dcstang67]

When you print rails up do you leave it level at 90 degrees or do you angle it up or down?

[@elepskymillan]

How do you change the wall thickness

[@jaeichinger]

These print settings are only as good as the parts and setup. Off brand nozzles will cause issues. Spend the extra for a better nozzle. Use the skirt to get a good squeeze on the first layer without oozing and making trenched lines. The entire print counts on a good first layer. If it messes up stop and restart. You can't save a bad first layer for a strength critical part without having a sloppy look.

[@lifengeneral6415]

Im having a huge issue with my FMDA DEFCAD files for the DD17.2's. All my Armalite stuff, "being non-specific", is perfect. My PY2A, 17 Gen 3 was a miracle by accident, but all my other Austrian lowers grips keep cracking? Is this a layer height or walls issue? i was running a .3mm layer height with a 8 line wall count, is that too much or what? If there is a contact method for you that would be amazing!

why does eveyone say their support settings are good? I've tried like 5 different settings, wasted at least two days of printing - and guess what? All my parts are dog shit quality because of poor support removal. Its equally hilarious that every single part's suggested orientation - is the worst imaginaible orintation for support removal. Seriously go look at the mac n cheese v2. Every single part i've printed is ruined by support placement/orientation. Guess my machine is dogshit, or im equally bad. Theres no way half a dozen people are full of shit right?

[@smokieshootshoot]

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s any perfect setting for any specific machine I’ve had a couple of people ask on my settings as I tend to have a pretty solid print quality and support removal on my prints. Although moving over to the bamboo slicer I’ve learned that somethings don’t translate very well so I’m relearning again. On my ender three V2 a lot of it was my machine and it being properly calibrated. Sorry your struggle seems to be very real but don’t get too down on yourself and do a couple of benches before you jump into a longer print you may even want to try doing if you torture test prints to look at overhang and supports

@@smokieshootshoot have this ender v3 se for 6 days. On my third spool, God knows how many setting variations, test prints, 2a prints, doesn’t seem to matter.
