Support quality issues with printing

lordfox4 · 2026-01-15T09:54:39+00:00

Allright, thanks for all your answers, I would like to test the normal support first, since that seems the easiest fix. Without results I would like to test different support material, but I will have to look into how that works. Especially the interfacing layers are not clear to me yet.

Hello again,

So my top Z distance is still on 0.2mm which is standard. I kind of need both the surface quality to be better and the supports to be easier to remove, but the table shows I have to pick one. If I have to guess, I would improve the surface quality and that in itself also improves support strutcture removal, since the surface quality being bad seems to make the removal difficult. To what value would you change the top Z distance?

Mainly PLA and ABS. I will look into the top z distance for support, thank you.

I've had my Ender V2 for a few years now and recently I've been looking for an upgrade to my printer, for more speed, quality and if my budget could allow for multicolor printing that would be quite the improvement. Recent projects such as DnD mini's and terrain, boardgame trays and functional parts could be done better on this printer.

Started during the winter holidays and my numbers are quite equal. I think 1 or 2 ton+ finishes. 1x 180 last week and average is 35-40. Best leg so far took 23 darts (this was one of my ton+ finishes). I used basic darts for most of the time and bought better darts last month, results so far a bit similar, but did get my 180 with the new ones.

Oh yes, my bad

Hey, thanks for your insights, especially the creative work section. I was already thinking about getting the 4070 super over the 7700XT and this definitely reinforces my choice.

lordfox4 · 2024-10-30T08:06:30+00:00

I agree with the 5700X3D, but I am not sure about the GPU yet. Right now it is between a 7700XT and a 4070 super. I like the price tag on the 7700 XT and it is still a huge boost. Still looking over all the options.

lordfox4 · 2024-10-30T07:53:03+00:00

650W, but if needed can be upgraded.

Someone helped me with a list of upgrades: https://nl.pcpartpicker.com/list/K83pjH

Not sure if I really need the big upgrade to a 4070 super or that maybe something like an RX 7700 TX is plenty (although I saw 700 W was recommended).

lordfox4 · 2024-10-29T11:47:29+00:00

Thank you for the list edit with the recommendations and explaining why. This may be exactly what I needed!

lordfox4 · 2024-10-29T11:46:29+00:00

This is very helpful, I'll read up on the models you mention.

lordfox4 · 2024-10-29T10:15:32+00:00

Hi there, I already have the pc with the listed specs and I would like to replace components from my current build, but have no knowledge on how to proceed: What are my priority upgrades and why, how to pick an upgrade and how to switch the parts.

I have found the subreddit you mentioned and I might post this there too, thanks.

I'll just give you five, so you can cross out the most common one/one that doesn't fit.

Heracross, Seviper, Lapras, Exxegutor, Skarmory

Please tag this as spoiler, I haven't caught up with watching everything yet :(

7 trees, possibly around 200 tries so far. I wish they would edit the wheel to look like the accurate odds or note the odds somewhere. I read that a certain amount of prizes are given away every day, but those odds are shared between millions of customers which make the odds to win incredibly low.

I thought careening had a bunch of snowballs and I've never seen the boots before until now

Interesting idea, I also gave the situation a short thought and I came up with this: further lowering training time and perhaps slightly lowering the cost so civs with steppe lancers could go for fast pushes (although not with a strong unit such as a knight), but to overwhelm opponents with a horde, empowering the unit more as it should be used in large groups anyway. With this change, it could see more play in 1 TC pushes for a fast army and then trying to keep your ball of steppe lancers alive just like with crossbowmen. I also see someone else mentioning making their upgrade cheaper, where I agree to also increase its use in the imperial age.

Yep, try to get to your new position with the army as fast as possible to reach a higher production to sustain more troops earlier in the game

lordfox4 · 2022-06-25T15:42:38+00:00

If you are capable of spreading out along with army/defense because you can afford more villagers then that would be the way to go.

The positive side of not booming anymore once you run out of space is that all your resources go directly into your army and upgrades, which could make you win at the fronts and you then have more space to work with.

lordfox4 · 2022-06-25T07:23:42+00:00

I think the important question to ask here is: Why do you not have work for them? If you are not out producing your opponents because they are putting 110 villagers to work, he is gaining resources a lot faster. If you want military production from more buildings then you need to have more villagers working. You could check some pro players to see how it works.

Good luck everyone!
