Cura wireprint

You can find information on the Ultimaker website at https://ultimaker.com/en/resources/16523-fixes. The Wire Printing mode is an Experimental Mode in CURA. You need to select it to access the settings. Start by using the original setting for your first print. Don't forget about the nozzle size you use, as you can't extrude more than 80% of it. For example: 0.4x0.8 = 0.32 0.6x0.8 = 0.48 0.8x0.8 = 0.64 1x0.8 = 0.8 (I use this one, so my first layer is 0.8/ sometimes I put more, like 1). After that, you need to optimize the connections between roofs and triangle heads. I have drawn examples to explain the cases of WP because there are many strategies for creating connections. Create your G-code with Cura and read it in Repetier (or another interpreter). CURA can't read its own G-code directly; you need to download it after saving. I work with two software: Cura for slicing and Repetier for reading and running the machine. If you have a fan at the nozzle output, the result will be even better. However, you may encounter other problems, such as roofs solidifying too quickly and connections being too high due to layer placement issues. If you don't use a fan, triangles are likely to be smaller (because they fall), so you'll need to compensate with the FALL DOWN & EASE UPWARD settings... unless your EASE UPWARD is too big, in which case you'll have problems with roof placement. I'm trying to understand the impact of "Compensation" / "Knot" strategies for future reference. More information will come as I progress. So, I've finally created some pedagogical posters to explain how this works. Let's Have Fun!
