Review on Enhance Dimensional Accuracy with 3D Solutech Filament: A Must-Have for Additive Manufacturing by Robert Demissie

Difficult But Worth It

So let's take a look at what you need to know about this filament. First, the color is right, beige, and it's very similar to the color of a doll like Barbie. So I like this filament - good results - excellent adhesion to bed - stable results Dislikes - complicated settings - supports can be more difficult to remove - lower temps lead to underextrusion. The first attached images are my settings that work for my machine and this thread. So, for my Ender 3 v2 Time Tower test print provided by Cura Extensions, I found everything under 210c and you get extrusion issues. I haven't seen this with other brands of yarn, and it worried me how similar it was to Swiss cheese. Now my bed temperature is 50°C and the nozzle temperature is 220°C. So let's move on to the Layer Height and Z-Distance found under the Support tab and the Air Gap found under the Layer Adhesion tab. My layer height is 0.15mm and since Cura is rounded to the nearest number divided by the layer height. My z-distance and air gap is 0.3mm and my print speed is 45mm/s. My support density is 5% of the number of walls 1 and the pattern is a line. I set the retract to 5mm at 45mm/s. I printed out some support test patterns and found that the settings just listed are correct. I'm very happy with the results after figuring out what settings I liked the most from this thread. It has a certain brilliance
