Here are my calibrated settings for Printing PLA on the Replicator 2.
Hi, whpthomas,
We've started using KISSlicer with your PLA settings for our Replicator 2; thanks very much for sharing! However, we're experiencing some very odd quality/strength issues, despite every print being successful.
When we used your RepG settings, everything came out incredibly strong, especially when using 50-100% infill + 3 shells. With KISSlicer + your settings, though, each print has fantastic 100 micron surface finish, but the printed parts are wafer-thin, easily broken, and we're not actually confident 3 outer shells are being added, if any. We're also wondering if it's a matter of infill. We tried to print parts in KISSlicer with 100% infill and, while slightly stronger, came nowhere near 100% infill in RepG or Makerware; in RepG or Makerware, 100% infill would have resulted in a solid, strong, nearly-unbreakable part - not so in KISSlicer.
We've reached the end of our knowledge in terms of how to accurately improve the structural integrity of KISSlicer-produced prints. Every part we've printed is weak to the point of being silly, and many have been snapped when carefully tweezing away supports. Our latest round of prints have all been with 100% infill, but still the weak, poor integrity issues continue.
Note: We *do not yet have* a heated build plate upgrade from BCTechnologicalSolutions.com because they are still out of stock.
Thanks,
Greg
