Simplify3D Creator profiles for ABS, PLA and Taulman Nylon 618

thingiverse

Using Replicator 2's default settings in Simplify3D Creator 1.1.5, I encountered poor print quality due to overextrusion. The automatic extrusion width calculation in Extruder Settings tab was questionable. However, after printing calibration cubes with a fixed 0.40mm extrusion width and an appropriate extrusion multiplier, the prints improved significantly. Destringing has been optimized using Wingcommander's deprime test part, and retraction values of around 0.3mm provide effective destringing without creating holes in the outer surface. This calibration is for a Replicator 2 with Sailfish firmware 7.4, and various materials were printed at specific temperatures: ABS at 235°C, PLA at 215°C, and Nylon at 235°C. The filament diameter during calibration measured 1.75mm.
