<p>How to print GLASS! The first thing to understand is a very slow speed is necessary, so patience is a must.</p> <p>The key is three different factors.</p> <ol> <li>20mm/s speed</li> <li>0.1000mm layer height</li> <li><p>No top or bottom layers, along with one single direction for infill<br/> By following the three keys above you can create a very translucent print. Several factors in positioning the printed object and direction the filament is laid down will give vearing results.</p> <p>The Best filament to use believe it or not is: OVERTURE CLEAR PETG. It even beat out Formfutura HD Glass.</p> </li> </ol> <p>(https://www.amazon.com/Filament-Transparent-Consumables-Dimensional-Accuracy/dp/B07SB761QR/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=overture+clear+petg&amp;tag=tv-auto-20)</p> <p>This is for everyone not using simplify3D</p> <p>EXTRUDER<br/> Nozzle Diameter: 0.40 mm<br/> Extrusion Multiplier: 1.01<br/> Extrusion Width: 0.50 mm<br/> Retraction Distance: 3.05 mm<br/> Retraction Speed: 30.00 mm/s<br/> Coasting Distance: 1.00 mm<br/> Wipe Distance: 3.00 mm</p> <p>LAYER<br/> Primary Layer Height: 0.1000 mm<br/> Top Solid Layers: 0<br/> Bottom Solid Layers: 0<br/> Outline/Perimeter Shells: 2</p> <p>INFILL<br/> Interior Fill Percentage: 100%<br/> Outline Overlap 35%<br/> Infill Extrusion Width: 103%</p> <p>Internal Infill Angle Offset: -45<br/> THE INFILL MUST NOT ALTERNATE EACH LAYER. EVERY LAYER MUST BE LAID DOWN THE SAME DIRECTION.</p> <p>TEMPERATURE<br/> Hot End: 265c<br/> Hot Bed: 70c</p> <p>COOLING<br/> NO! This will cloud the print.</p> <p>SPEED<br/> Default Printing Speed: 20.0 mm/s<br/> Outline Underspeed: 50%<br/> Solid Infill Underspeed: 30%<br/> Support Structure Underspeed: 80%<br/> X/Y Axis Movement Speed: 150.0 mm/s<br/> Z Axis Movement Speed: 20.0 mm/s</p> <p>Some of the settings are from Simplify3D, just use what's familiar to you. If you have any questions ask, I'd be glad to help.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Category: 3D Printing</p>
