Standard Quality Settings Modified For Dual Printing.  #26

Description

@JasonBarretto

These are the settings I changed in "Cura for Robo 3.1.0 Alpha" for better results in dual extrusion prints.

Quality

Initial Layer Line Width: Old: 100% / New: 150%

  • (Helps with first layer adhesion when not using a raft.)

Material

Initial Printing Temperature: Old: 190°C / New: 185°C
Final Printing Temperature: Old: 190°C / New: 180°C
Retract at layer change: Old: no / New: yes
Standby Temperature: Old: 150°C / New: 165°C
Retraction Distance: Old: 8.0mm/ New: 2.5mm
Nozzle Switch Retraction Distance: Old: 5mm / New: 20mm

  • (Helps speed up tool change process/ retraction distance now gets filament out of heat zone to reduce oozed material from inactive nozzle)

Speed

Initial Layer Speed: Old: 40.2mm/s / New: 30mm/s

  • (first layer was a bit too fast, helps first layer reliability.)

Cooling

Regular Fan Speed At Layer: Old: 1 / New: 10

  • (helps prevent temp error and premature print warping)

Dual Extrusion

Prime Tower Thickness: Old: 4.347mm / New: 1mm
Wipe Inactive Nozzle On Prime Tower: Old: no / New: yes

  • (speeds up print and uses less material for prime tower/ wipes oozed material off inactive nozzle.)
