v3.1.0 of Hovalin is an excellent design from Hovalabs, offering high-quality results with careful setup. To get the best outcome, follow their guidelines for a detailed understanding of this model's capabilities. Built-In Supports Hovalab has incorporated robust supports into the design specifically tailored for PLA printing materials. This means you can rest assured that your prints will be stable and secure throughout the entire process. Print Settings Printer: Original Prusa i3 Mk2 Rafts: No rafts are needed, allowing for a clean and smooth print surface. Supports: Built-in supports eliminate the need for additional support structures, making the printing process more efficient. Resolution: Hovalin can be printed at resolutions as low as 0.1mm and 0.2mm for precise details. Infill: For optimal strength, use 50% infill for all parts of your print. Notes: Neck Print the neck section at a resolution of 0.1mm with three perimeter layers to achieve a sturdy base. Top/Middle/Bottom For these sections, print at a higher resolution of 0.3mm (or .2mm as I did) and use two perimeter layers for a more refined finish. Joints To ensure extra strength in the joints, print them at 0.3mm resolution (I used .2mm) with four perimeter layers. Infill Remember to maintain 50% infill for all parts of your print to achieve maximum durability. Filament For optimal results, use Hatchbox Black PLA filament. Post-Printing After printing, carefully sand the neck section smooth using a gentle touch. I started with 220 grit and then wet sanded at 400 grit for a polished finish. Be sure to dry everything thoroughly, preferably using a leaf blower to remove any excess moisture from the holes.
