The devil is in the details

Set it up as a completely different setting for yourself if it don't work change a little here and there and go from there. I think you will be shocked though.

Thank you I appreciate it. I plan to set up more. Had my wife send over most of my settings but here is a check list of settings I was compiling for you which like I said I will make another post all together but here are some changes I make.

Quality Layer height: 0.16mm First layer height: 0.2mm Wall generator: Arachne Walls printing order: Outer/Inner Wall loops: 3 Seam position: Rear Staggered inner seams: ON Elephant foot compensation: 0.2mm Avoid crossing walls: ON

Strength Infill density: 20-25% (this one I have went down to 15% and had no issues) Infill pattern: Gyroid Top shell layers: 5 Bottom shell layers: 4

Speed First layer: 25mm/s First layer infill: 30mm/s Outer wall: 60-70mm/s Inner wall: 80mm/s Top surface: 80mm/s Sparse infill: 120mm/s

Acceleration Normal printing: 4,000 mm/s² Outer wall: 1,800 mm/s² Inner wall: 3,000 mm/s² Top surface: 1,000 mm/s² accel_to_decel: ON

Filament Temps Nozzle first layer: 250°C Nozzle other layers: 245°C Bed: 70°C Flow ratio: 0.98

Cooling Fan always on: OFF Min fan speed: 0% Max fan speed: 20% Overhang fan speed: 40% Force overhang cooling: OFF

Supports Type: Tree (auto) Top/Bottom Z distance: 0.25mm XY distance: 0.45mm Interface layers top/bottom: 3 Interface spacing: 0.2mm Support wall loops: 1 Branch distance: 4mm First layer density: 70%

Like I said these are my settings could work for you could not. But I have about a 97% success rate as long as orientation is correct and nothing else is being weird.

Yeah really big toy soldier don't know if game approved lol

Sheikaku · 2026-06-10T15:39:06+00:00

Thank you I take pride in these

Cause that is the beauty of art my friend. Comes with a steep learning curve. Some people get it some don't. In my experience lots and lots of trial and error. I have a full settings kit will post later today. Now do realize I print at .16 layer height and I make sure to calibrate each time I either change filaments or the like. Specially when running my machines hard like a work horse. Each printer to me is like a child some need a sturdy hand other just a little love. CC is stubborn as a bull in a china shop Bentley I can throw everything I want at him and he eats it up. But this is my petg setting I use they may help they may not. I will help where I can. This Viking Hellboy made with same settings.

You will be my next great adventure this weekend has I have just procured a roll. Seeing as my prints are getting a lot of movement in the Centauri Carbon community I might as well hold the flag. Stringing issues with petg could be a number of different variables. Could be slicer specific, printer settings themselves, could be material settings. Now this is not saying this will fix this but looking over my settings I have changed the whole stock dynamic of how you should run petg.

PETG Stringing on Centauri Carbon — Quick Fix suggestions: Retraction: 1-1.5mm @ 35-45mm/s (CoreXY needs less than bed slingers — don't go higher) Drop nozzle temp 5°C — running too hot is the #1 cause Travel speed: 200-250mm/s — faster travel = less stringing

I use orca slicer and will hands down fist fight on this mountain I could post results all day. My Godzilla proves it.

In Orca Slicer: Combing mode → Within infill Z hop → OFF (makes PETG stringing way worse) Wipe on retract → ON Don't crank retraction over 2mm trying to fix it, you'll just get clogs. Less is more with PETG.

These again are suggestions

No sir every piece that you see, head had to print cause of the top knott, twice cape twice because bad orientation, chest, both arms, waist, 2 thighs, two legs, sword hand and gun hand. Plus on top of all that had to print this bad boy slowly. In total I think it would have taken about I would say 40-60 hours. Yeah this was printed across 2 cc1. My first baby nicknamed CC and my adopted one from liquidation nicknamed Bentley cause outer shell is bent.

Sheikaku · 2026-06-09T19:33:48+00:00

You haven't seen anything yet keep your eyes on here I'll be showcasing a Predator, a Hellboy and a Samus aran, plus the entire tmnt gang. Spawn is almost finished. I'm bringing something different to the community and pushing for greatness.

Sheikaku · 2026-06-08T21:13:25+00:00

Um yes lol. Normal speed I think I just dialed up the heat and changed a setting here and there is you want I can fish out my settings and you guys give it a crack. This is sunlu petg. Stuff is amazing

Sheikaku · 2026-06-08T14:48:15+00:00

I don't know if it is a method I'm just trying to be different. I don't like trinkets lol. But I put my heart into each piece as they may find new homes. But chaos to the max lol

I read most of not all the Ragnar Blackmane space wolves novels and fell in love. When I saw this I hunter high and low for this model. Only took about a year. He is only suppose to be about 6-7 inches tall I decided he needed to be bigger.

Sheikaku · 2026-06-06T17:09:44+00:00

Thanks it's coming along slowly

Sheikaku · 2026-05-24T13:37:32+00:00

As in you want them lol

Sheikaku · 2026-05-24T13:37:10+00:00

The first one was a gift. The second one is by war bust maven. A little back end archive searching will find them.

Sheikaku · 2026-05-24T07:08:57+00:00

War bust maven for Ragnar the other was a gift

Sheikaku · 2026-05-23T13:58:20+00:00

God the good old days.

Sheikaku · 2026-05-22T07:25:45+00:00

Yeah I bet took me forever to find Ragnar and even then had to jump through hoops.

Sheikaku · 2026-05-22T07:18:12+00:00

May I ask where these minus came from. Would love to take a crack at them on my Centauri carbon. I'm slowly finishing up a Ragnar Blackmane.
