colorFabb Lightweight PLA (LW-PLA) tuning cubes

prusaprinters

<p>colorFabb's Lightweight PLA (LW-PLA) becomes foamy and less dense at higher nozzle temperatures. To get the correct flow, some initial calibration is required.</p><p>Based on colorFabb's <a href="https://colorfabb.com/how-to-print-with-lw-pla">instructional page</a>, these nine cubes are printed from 200 to 280˚C using the following conditions:</p><ul><li>Print speed: 25mm/s</li><li>Layer height: 0.2mm</li><li>Nozzle diameter: 0.4mm brass</li><li>Part cooling: off</li><li>Bed temperature: 60˚C</li><li>Linear advance/pressure advance: off</li></ul><p>This single line of custom Gcode is applied before each object is printed:</p><blockquote><p>M109 S{temperature[0]+ (current_object_idx*10)}</p></blockquote><p><strong>IMPORTANT: </strong>the cubes are printed sequentially, but the order is not what you would expect. Please check the 3MF file and slice it to determine the correct order.</p>
