CloClo's PLA-TPU PETG ABS-ASA T-TOWERS
Print Profile(3)
Description
Once done with your temperatures, don't forget to proceed with the “cloclo S-Tower” (link here) to find your max speed for the filament. IT CHANGES WHEN CHANGING TEMPERATURES!!

Another temperature tower ? 😮
Yes but with some more informations about the quality of your filament relative to its printing temperature.
in fact, using it myself, most of the temperature towers lack some information that I care a lot about to try to optimize the prints in relation to the filament I intend to use.
In addition to obviously offering information on precision, continuity, how matte the material is, bridging, solidity and extrusion, in this T-Tower I added two planes inclined at 30° and 45° respectively.
Now, we all already know that as the slope decreases, the print quality decreases significantly (see here) and therefore, while 45° are practically always printable with good results, 30° are difficult for our machines to digest and, if the temperature were too high it would become a real disaster...
As the temperature increases, the filament is extruded more easily and can flow too much, creating too much of a void (for a bridge for example) or creating a layer thicker than requested and the latter is a problem that is encountered frequently and it causes the nozzle, once it has changed level, to find the excess filament of the previous layer on its way, thus creating a collision between the nozzle and the model which could break the model itself, especially in its less rigid parts and subsequently creating an excellent plate of spaghetti...
Here is therefore the importance of finding the right temperature for the filament we intend to use, remembering that the temperature "recommended" by the manufacturer is not always the best for our machine... We could have a steel nozzle, hardened or not or brass, or a more or less strong and/or concentrated air flow on the exiting filament, or a different environmental condition and even a closed or open printer... In short, there are many variables to take into consideration and for this reason it is necessary to know what the best temperature is for this filament on our machine.
The plates in the file contain the tower for PLA/TPU95 , for PETG and for ABS/ASA . Choose the right one to be able to view the effects in their most natural temperature ranges.
HOW TO USESetting Bambu lab studio before launching printing of T-Towers | ||
You need to add custom G-Code to your printer before slicing the model (In fact MakerWorld doesn't allow to store modified codes and models on their server for a reasonable safety measure.)
To do so: edit the GCode section of your printer (accessible from the “Machine Gcode” tab appearing after clicking on “Printer presets” see the picture below).
Scroll down to “Layer change G-Code” and insert the following lines (Use the right one):
| Code for PLA/TPU95 T-TOWER | Code for PETG T-TOWER | Code for ABS/ASA T-TOWER |
| ;CloClo T-TOWERS Custom Code {if layer_num==6}M109 S230{endif}; {if layer_num==51}M109 S225{endif}; {if layer_num==96}M109 S220{endif}; {if layer_num==141}M109 S215{endif}; {if layer_num==186}M109 S210{endif}; {if layer_num==231}M109 S205{endif}; {if layer_num==276}M109 S200{endif}; {if layer_num==321}M109 S195{endif}; {if layer_num==366}M109 S190{endif}; {if layer_num==411}M109 S185{endif}; {if layer_num==456}M109 S180{endif}; ;END CloClo T-TOWERS Custom Code | ;CloClo T-TOWERS Custom Code {if layer_num==6}M109 S255{endif}; {if layer_num==51}M109 S250{endif}; {if layer_num==96}M109 S245{endif}; {if layer_num==141}M109 S240{endif}; {if layer_num==186}M109 S235{endif}; {if layer_num==231}M109 S230{endif}; {if layer_num==276}M109 S225{endif}; {if layer_num==321}M109 S220{endif}; {if layer_num==366}M109 S215{endif}; {if layer_num==411}M109 S210{endif}; {if layer_num==456}M109 S205{endif}; ;END CloClo T-TOWERS Custom Code | ;CloClo T-TOWERS Custom Code {if layer_num==6}M109 S280{endif}; {if layer_num==51}M109 S275{endif}; {if layer_num==96}M109 S270{endif}; {if layer_num==141}M109 S265{endif}; {if layer_num==186}M109 S260{endif}; {if layer_num==231}M109 S255{endif}; {if layer_num==276}M109 S250{endif}; {if layer_num==321}M109 S245{endif}; {if layer_num==366}M109 S240{endif}; {if layer_num==411}M109 S235{endif}; {if layer_num==456}M109 S230{endif}; ;END CloClo T-TOWERS Custom Code |
THIS CODE CAN BE SAVED LOCALLY WITH THE BAMBULAB PROJECT FILE ONCE MODIFIED.
ANYTHING WILL BE STORED/CHANGED IN YOUR PRINTER.
This is a screenshot to simplify the modifications:
Once done you can proceed to the plate slicing and send the job to the printer.
You can verify that everything is ready choosing TEMPERATURE in the Color Scheme window appearing just after the plate slicing.
You should obtain a rainbow colored sliced model as you can see in the picture.
If you need a different range, for another type of filament, leave a comment and it will be a big pleasure to create the right tower in a very short time!
Please, if you print any, share the images, the brand, the temperature you chose and the printer and nozzle you used. It will always be a very precious contribution for the whole community!!
Hugs and happy printing, pals!!
What about offering me a coffee ?
