Too much.

by Rob

Even more warping caused by the line spacing.

by Rob

Increased the line spacing too much, warping as a result of it.

by Rob

Tried to mitigate the gaps by increasing the perimeter overlap. Might be the best sample so far. Waves are good and adhere well with each other.

by Rob

Even bigger gaps near the perimeter, starting to become a problem especially in the inner corner. Waves once again look nice

by Rob

Bigger gaps starting to form near the perimeter due to line spacing. Waves look nice

by Rob

Print overall is very good, slight warping in the overhang caused some overextrusion in subsequent layers.

by Rob

Hilbert floor + 30% fan (vs 100% default). Thought slower cooling reduces stress lock-in. However, it warped worse, not better. Hot floor likely sagged into and pulled on the wave during its longer cooldown

by Dennis

Even for cases that can be printed with bridges, result might be better with waveoverhangs.

by Dennis

First test with Hilbert-curve settings (https://github.com/dennisklappe/OrcaSlicer-WaveOverhangs/pull/34), definitely some less warping. Will do some more tests and also compare to just no top-layers at all. Will release this later today.

by Dennis

Tested corner-aware spacing taper (https://github.com/dennisklappe/OrcaSlicer-WaveOverhangs/pull/29) on the small corner, need some more testing to see it's usefulness.

I get an error saying vector too long when i try to slice. i cant even get to the point where i try to physically print the model. I have provided the 3mf file so hopefully it'll help you all debug this.

Not quite perfect, quite a bit of warping in the extremities. Between a 4 and 5 I would say

by Rob

Even better than last sample. Warping only near the smaller wave segments but minimal. Tuning line spacing such that there is barely the adhesion to suspend the material mid air might give the best results. However, there are gaps starting to form near the perimeter as a result of the line spacing.

by Rob

Very good sample, increased the line spacing to above 0.4 to 0.42. The only issue on this sample is the warping in the area with concentrated waves.

by Rob

Small amount of layer separation, as seen in photo 2. Minimal warping, only near the smaller waves. On the top side, the waves and perimeter do not properly connect, but can already be seen in the gcode viewer.

by Rob

Not a lot of warping, though there are some spots where there are gaps between tracks and the perimeter (See photo 2).

by Rob

Better overall compared to the last. Warping similar to last as well. The rough surface is less than before.

by Rob

Adhesion between base and overhang weak, line spacing causing issues near perimeter. Warping is less than last sample.

by Rob

The connection between the base of the model and the wave overhang is weak. A wavy pattern can be identified on the bottom and top surface again. Significant warping again

by Rob

First decent PLA-CF print. There is a weird texture on both the bottom and top surface, which could be the cause of too much overlap. Layer adhesion is better than PTSample25. A lot of warping is still observed.

by Rob

Tried with PLA-CF, no layer adhesion at all.

by Rob

Print quality overall very good, the main issue here is the amount of warping.

by Rob

Only a slight disconnection between the perimeter before the curve. Warping is the bigger issue

by Rob

Tried upping the wave flow to see effect. Apart from a small disconnection in the inner corner of the sample, the print looks great. A lot of warping is present though.

by Rob

Noticed underextrusion and simply no connection between the start of the curve in the overhang and the perimeter. A lot of warping present.

by Rob

A lot of overextrusion, very much visible on both the top and bottom. Warping caused the nozzle to interfere when printing the perimeters, causing the sample to fly off the build plate. Accidentally used the wrong filament profile, temperatures were higher than normally used.

by Rob

Rough perimeter and disconnection between waves and perimeter. A lot of warping but shape is there

Slight warping

by ja

Apart from the same artifact that appeared during the last sample, the print quality is overall very good, a lot of warping is identified.

by Rob

Tried another printer and the new Orcaslicer version for the first time. Noticed a lot of underextrusion with the same converted settings as PTSample 8 and 14. Also a new artifact appeared between corners.

by Rob

Just warping, no delamination. Underside looks flawless

by Cocoanix

by ja

Went insanely well but after floor layer was placed it just warped. Will try without floor layers.

by Cocoanix

Good except for warping

by ja

Basically perfect (dirty nozzle caused black strings in print). I printed this for my youtube video that is in production.

by Cocoanix

Very low perimeter quality due to extremely low layer time.

by ja

Zig zag behaviour unexpectedly stops towards the end of the overhang.

by ja

Almost perfect, small disconnections between the perimeter, tried replicating the same result as PTSample8 and PTSample14, but with different filament

by Rob

Very similar results to 13, seems to pull back on the material

by Rob

Almost perfect again, wanted to replicate the result from PTSample8, same result is found.

by Rob

Same weird starting lines, looks like overextrusion but the parameters are roughly the same. *PATTERN USED IS "SMART", unlike photo*

by Rob

Weird starting lines, overall not very good quality though shape is properly retained

by Rob

Still shows signs of overextrusion, overall looks clean, nozzle still dragging across the layers.

by Rob

Shows signs of overextrusion, but overall looks clean. Nozzle is dragging across the layers.

by Rob

Shows signs of overextrusion, nozzle is dragging across the layers, causing them to disconnect near perimeter

by Rob

Almost perfect, not quite, perimeter on a different level than the rest of the overhang

by Rob

Waves not connected to the perimeter on a couple points

by Rob

Waves not connected to the perimeter on a couple points

by Rob

Generally dimensional inaccurate, perimeter on different level, edges not connected

by Rob

Very poor quality, not dimensionally accurate at all, a lot of underextrusion.

Takes somewhat of a form, but still does not resemble the model
