Kind of neat that the software will show you actual extrusion path.

Finally, I am definitely going to install Slic3r and see what it produces. That was another question I knew I would have eventually. I will also definitely keep the degree of overhand in mind.
Just so that I can have a tight fit, I might redesign the piece to have a larger butterfly that can afford to shrink a little. I definitely like the idea of leave a little gap between parts that need to fit together. Does a 0.4mm nozzle always extrude at 0.45mm or can/will that be different when printing different layer heights? I'm not sure what your reference about 0.05 and 0.3 is regarding layer height and vertical detail. Though not on a Prusa, it seems (based on other comments) the Prusa would produce similar results with equally tight tolerances.įrom georg.s2, good to know about the 0.4mm nozzle extruding 0.45mm by default. In response to ben.t7, thanks for your example on that 20x20x20 cube with what it actually produced. Wow, such a warm reception to Prusa and 3D printing, thank you all! Some great information here. Good luck and have fun! It's a great was to spend the waiting time!!Īnswered: Re: "Resolution" of the MK3 nozzle That will give you a good idea what the printer will do with your design. Install Slic3r Prusa edition, import your designs and slice them, and go to the preview, checking layers in detail to see the actual extrusion path. Rule of thumb is to keep overhangs below 45 deg, even though realistically 60 deg overhang print nicely and even more is possible but with increasing issues, Bridging depends on many parameters, like material, temperature, cooling fan. The FDM process has it's limitations, like overhangs, bridges, edges, dimensions, shrinkage and warping. Now this is getting really interesting and I am only at the beginning of the learning curve myself. I think the rule of thumb is to leave a 0,2mm gap between parts that need to fit together.ĭimensional accuracy is quite good, but it will never be 100% accurate.
Anything smaller than that will not be resolved. Your question of resolution is maybe best answered with the default extrusion width of the 0,4mm nozzle, which is 0,45mm in Slic3r.
There are a couple of things to consider during the process. 4 nozzle on a different brand of printer then a prusa so I can't say what the machines will be able to pull off. I hope that might help some at least for your question as to what the mk3 will be able to I am unsure my stuff was done with a standard. I would most likely suggest giving a little clearance when printing those joints but does not need to be a lot but enough to account for your printer and the material. 2 layer height and I am sure some of that can be tuned in a way to get closer to spec with some work. So for example do a 20x20x20 cube and you might have one axis come out 19.97 one come out 20.07 and one 19.87 which is actually what my machine spit out today while I was fine tuning it. Welcome to the world of 3d printing, this will be my 2nd machine and I'm looking forward to it while I'm still new to the life of 3d printing I figure ill say that when items print there can be some variation on what a printer puts out.
