Slic3r settings

#1

hallo again,

First I must confess you, I am not very familiar with the english language.
Slic3r does’nt support dutch. (die taal snap ik wel)
The problem is, I can’t find the spectacular setting that’s responseble for the distance between the lines who where print.

I mean, my printer prints a line from A to B.
The next line goes from B to A with a distance between them.
In my prints these distance is to big, there is space for 2 or 3 lines extra to make the distance filled completely.
I don’t find the right setting in slic3r to get this right.
I have tried many settings
Can anyone tell me what setting in slic3r is responsible for this issue?
Mabey you can add a screenshot so I can see what you mean.

B.t.w.,(is in Slic3r a line called “perimeter”?)

Is here perhaps sombody who wants to share his well working settings for PLA 1.75mm at high resolution?

Thank you!!!

If you are using a stock K8200 you need to use 3.0mm filament.

To Wrong way,

I did make a upgrade to k8203

The problem I spoke about was not present when I printed with 3mm on the k8200
I was happy with k8200, so I thought the time was there to upgrade to k8203.
But after that I can’t get lost of the problems with the distance between the several lines.
I’ve tried many things in slic3r, but, I don’t understand the therms they use very well.
So Its very difficult to me to understand what the mean.

I was hoping somebody could give me a answer that can help me to make the distance between the lines shorter.
So the Question is,
Can anyone tell me witch setting in slic3r is responsible for this issue?

Thanx for reply.

Did you change the firmware and the ini file?
You can download them in the link below.
http://www.k8200.eu/support/downloads/

Instructions to change the firmware can be found here.
http://www.k8200.eu/manual/printing/?c=007

When changing the firmware use the Arduino software 1.0.6 or below found here.

I appriciate your comments very much.
I am looking for an answer on my specific question.
That means I that I look for an answer on my question.
Not waiting at a question did you do this, did you do that, what is your operating system or have you a username.
I have done my homework and at least I ask for a little help for my problem.
But;

Yes, I did all of that.
I’m not successfull in making a fine setting to print with PLA 1.75mm
That is my question, please help me with that, just because mine doesn’t work proper enough.

Understand, I don’t want to be arrogant or what else, but keep your help on topic please.
This is not helping me.
Again, I don’t want to be a dickhead in any way, and appriciate your attention

Thanks. :slight_smile:

I don’t think you’ll get an answer without some questions first…
So be it.

So be it; Yah,? Why?

works this forum so in the way like;
q: Can you tell me the way to central park?
A: Yes I can, but first, did you ever get a driverslicence?

Further there comes only a discussion so like this?
This is b.t.w the place where I can ask about things I don’t understand?
Why are you people acting like this?

Come on please, give it another try.

There is no setting for this, as the slicer would automatically calculate the ‘ideal’ distance between the lines based on all the information you have given it. When you say there is room for 2 or 3 lines inbetween, then you clearly configured something incorrectly. Double check your settings for nozzle size and filament diameter. Also check your bed height, flow rate and finally and probably most importantly, if you configured the extrusion steps correctly in the firmware. With the modified extruder, you must modify the firmware. Thats why Wrong Way said what he said.

Feel free to try another forum.
I don’t see the problem here.

#10

Well right P4man, That is what I mean.
Thank you so much for your answer, I will check the rest of my settings again.
I can further with this. Tx.
