these settings caused my x1c to clog twice this morning running long prints, i refined your settings to operate better and currently testing them out. retracting at 3.05mm is not good for these printers, the extruder gets way too hot causing the filament to soften in the extruder body and pulling from the hot end that far makes the filament soft as well. i know because i cooled my hotend and then took it apart, touching the extruder body and motor burned my fingers after 10 minutes of resting. my recommendation for p1s and x1c owners is 1mm retraction, shut off wiping because it puts a streak through the print, set your speed to 25mm/s, normal acceleration to 10,000, initial acceleration to 5,000, nozzle temp to 230 to 240. uncheck print infill first. be careful using this persons profile guys, operates ok for short prints and looks ok, long prints not so much. my settings listed above made a massive difference in the transparency of my finished prints so far. ill upload a profile with my settings later when i know it wont clog so nobody has to deal with that. im using ic3d transparent filament which is more expensive, higher quality filament and it was clogging on this persons profile. oh and a smooth bed will make it look way better, dont use textured beds with transparent glass profiles.
I used 25mm/s speed, Open chamber door and lid. Set print acceleration back to 10,000. Travel speed to 500mm sec. Shut off wiping. Set petg temp to 230c.
Thanks for the input, looking forward to seeing your profile:) but please don't print PETG on a smooth bed, you'll more often than not have serious problems getting the print off
Transparency is great but not sure why a 'bump' appeared. Do you think is because I might have the chamber fan on? all other fans are off.
I don't have much experience printing PETG and would appreciate it a lot if you could help with some nooby questions -
1. how transparent printing performs when printing a larger and more complex model. (e.g. the model I want to print would take 23 hr with this profile)
2. Does longtime printing with his profile damage the printer? (with no fan and long hour printing)
Thanks a lot!
this looks rather bad. I printed a test model with 265° C and another one with 267° C which was already more clouded.
which filament do you use? it seems to be of importance when trying to print “glass”.
kind regards
I printed HueForge swatches in Overture PETG using this, and look at the difference compared with the same models/filament with the "Generic PETG" preset! Night and day! Takes forever, and you should use a smooth plate/enclosure. But the results speak for themselves (and with zero post-processing). I've used the preset with some other translucent color petg too, and it makes a difference for sure!
works as intended. not sure why I got some weird diagonal impurity, maybe flow ratio issue? nonetheless, great profile to print transparent PETG. this was used on a generic PETG, and the results are more than satisfactory IMO.
Printed a short copy of it, realized I used the textured bed, but it was still quite transparent despite not dialing in much at all beyond the profile. Haven't used it for anything useful yet, debating on using the profile on something fun but small like a cookie design.
