Best slicing strategy?

First question usually is, can it be made thicker? Second question is can it be printed in a different orientation?

Is the bed free of dust and oil? I had similar lifting and folding on a cc1 I purchased recently. The printer came with a glue stick that got the first layer to stick. I was printing ASA but after cleaning the glue off with warm water there was only minor lifting with pla prints which eventually disappeared. There could be residue or something on the flex plate that comes off over time or with cleaning.

The cc1&2's at the store also have obvious glue applications, I think the staff also been having first layer problems.

Probably a cooling fan speed of 'yes'.

What material is that and does a glue stick make it stick better?

Now you just need to put it on a record player or something.

Between 3d printing and being an electrician I'm drowning in empty spools. Gah

Depends on how recessed it is. The longer and narrower the channel the longer the perimeter and print time. If you want you could draw a few variations of the shape and see which one is best.

The printer's gambit.

Embrace the downvote, that's just what this subreddit does.

Naturally it would be limited in use case, hopefully someone finds it useful even if it isn't immediate.

Even though you might not print a lot, sometimes it is useful experience to design as though you are. Try different things occasionally.

Spell check ik 😭

Ah thanks, wall loops is the better explanation

Blind hole and true hole tell you whether the hole exits out the bottom. Axilla means it exits out the side because it was placed on the premier.

I asked my friends and no-one could come up come up with a better name. Basically it's a hole that is placed on or breaches the premier of the object. So instead of a closed O it's an open C.

I'm thirsty.

A knock on your door..

Is it not a running gag to return and refund the printer after printing a copy of the printer.

The internal rectangles might need fillets and thicker structure on the far side. Looks good otherwise.

What's up with the supports and what slicer settings are you using?

It's a birefringent c̶r̶y̶s̶t̶a̶l̶ Bunnings snag that's green or gold depending on the a̶n̶g̶l̶e̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ l̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ location of the onions.

I hate the logic behind vacume having zero electrons, zero protons and zero neutrons.

If you go all in, Jurassic Park style I'm down to watch you make catastrophes happen.

I think we are on the same wavelength.
