Boost me for more logic-defying print profiles like this!

This is the project you've all been waiting for. An optimized and refined print profile to make your pre-installed 0.4mm nozzle print small details almost as perfectly as a 0.2mm. This is not to say that the two are exactly the same, but in general practice, the differences are invisible.

 

I bet most of you have looked at the underside of the 0.4mm nozzle and wondered why the hole for the filament is so small, but it prints such large lines. This is intended for a variety of different mechanical, structural, and other reasons I won't explain here; you can look them up for yourself if you're curious. However, the nozzle lines can be much smaller due to this design. So why not make them smaller? I created a print profile that takes some slightly adjusted 0.2mm nozzle line widths and couples the with some modified settings (for quality), packed inside a single .3mf file.

 

The best part: You don't have to change nozzles any more, just the presets! No need to buy a new 0.2mm nozzle/hotend, now all you have to do is change the presets! This also eliminates physical interaction with the printer when attempting to make prints that “require” a 0.2mm nozzle to be installed.

 

In the File:

  • A test model to demonstrate the tiny lines that you can now print with this powerful preset
  • Modified print presets that you can save off for later use (or you can just make your 0.2-optimized model inside the provided project)
  • Modified filament settings so ripping and gaps do not occur at high speeds (PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU USE LOWER FLOW RATES)

Enjoy!

Very good. I will use it again. see pictures. I wish there was a way to use a modifier to be able to print the lower base layers at .4 wide, then you could also do .2 tall and print "normal", and then just switch to this for the top little precise text. I can't figure out how to add the 5 stars. I will also boost this!

Hmm... that rating thing seems to be an issue with this model. Anyway, in case you haven’t noticed, there’s a variable layer height option now. It’s in the top toolbar; try it!

How do I make a rating? I see the ratings, but I don't see where I can submit my own rating.

In my experience it seems like there is a lag in time sometimes for Bambu to register having printed something. Only when it knows you printed something does it then notify you to put a rating review. Sometimes it skips prints for some reason and never registers it as having been printed. Seems unfair. I don’t know if it is a bug or cloud server lag or what.

Mine turned out a bit wonky but that may be my fault. Any tips? Cool design in any case!

Uh... Belt tightening, lowering build plate temp/slower first layer, and fans/lower print speed. Respectively, those fix the inconsistent layers, curling, and “elephant foot” effect. Hope this helps!

try using a brim. or printing the first layer slower for better adhesion, as well as a bit more temperature for the first layer. try it without a brim first. you can give me some feedback. the problem you have might also affect other models. maybe adjust the layer height for the first layer to be a bit thinner. clean your print bed first with isopropyl alcohol, as isopropyl alcohol does not leave any residue. it could also be that the filament is too moist. the first layer is very important for a good print.

I think the font effect is very good, I am very satisfied. However, when I tried to print a character with this configuration, perhaps the supports were not enough, I tried many times but did not get a finished product, do you have any suggestions?

If anything, glue your build plate or wash it with alcohol. However, if you do not have any of that on hand, please consider adding a brim. My best estimate for a large model like that would be 5mm. Add more if necessary.

After I cleaned and wiped it with alcohol, the first layer was very strong. The failures all happened when printing hair at shoulder height, due to insufficient or collapsed supports, resulting in spaghetti.

yeah those supports don't look happy

Been looking thru and I think yours is the cleanest with the most crisp letters that I've seen yet Good job! Which printer and filament out of curiosity? Sometimes it shows that info and sometimes it doesn't...

Sorry for the late response. Thank you, by the way. I made this using Creality red filament (although it would work better with Bambu; that’s all I had on hand) using a P1P-upgraded-P1S.

Wow, you sure that’s 1/4? That looks a bit smaller. Still very impressive though!

Thanks for that photo... that reminded me to figure out some method (*ahem* miracle) that would fix that slight top layer blemish. I had some on my larger surfaces and I wanna fix those.

I have deleted the rating because I would rather not give a lower rating than I intended. As I said, it would be 5 stars, I would like to give 5 stars, but the system does not allow me to do so, which is total nonsense. You should absolutely be able to give 5 stars despite a false error message. In the end, we users decide whether something worked well or not. Nevertheless, thank you for your understanding and courtesy. Maybe it will work better with the rating next time. Printed with the A1, by the way.

(Insanely late response, sorry!) I know, it’s a major inconvenience. However, this system was designed to save the mods some work by making sure that users printed a model to prove that they have the authority to rate it. This also prevents point farming. Don’t worry about the rating; a download and print is more than enough, and the 83 other ratings on this model are proof that it’s good enough to be publicly shared. Thank you for the clarification, though!

I printed this normal and it came out good, so I tried scaling it down to 75% (much smaller and the preview showed the letters coming out poorly), lowered the speeds, and printed it with great success on my P1S using Bambu PLA. Standard BIC lighter for scale.

I need to check that out. I want to accommodate A1 users, however. 75% is an absolute flex though. I'll try that on my own P1S tonight!

Cannot blame you. I knocked mine off shortly after taking the thumbnail, and you saw how the base also shifted. It happens to the best of us.

The font was great, but I don't know why it got these stripes. I used The A1 printer
The designer has replied

The stripes are the downside of using this preset over an authentic 0.2 nozzle. the stripes are caused by imperfect extrusion because the 0.2 lines make it so slow that the printer has to extrude in chunks and not smoothly. At least that’s my theory. It’ll happen on small surfaces like this. If you would like to check out a solution for this (with 0.4 layer lines), check out my other project, Industrial Smooth Surface Settings.

@IgorBruno Also, I just posted a model to fix your problem. It’s the fusion settings on my profile. I hope this helped, even though it’s way too late.

So do you also have optimized settings for 0.2mm nozzles? lol

I imagine the a smaller word 'precise' on top of the dot above the letter I : )

I was wondering this same thing. Could you get even more precise detail with a . 2mm nozzle? No sure when I would need that, but as a POC it would be nice to know.
