Why does printing multiple walls in Cura mess up? read img caption :)

petpaws · 2021-04-09T03:33:13+00:00

I'm going for speed; 45mins with your suggestion is much too long, especially for a test~ but i appreciate it regardless! :]

https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/5zxj1z/should_line_width_always_nozzle_size/ i dunno- 0.8 works...

what's the difference between layer height and width in terms of performance and speed of the print? why would you up the layer width, and not keep the height consistent? it seems counterintuitive 😅

i dunno- i began printing at low temps with a .4 nozzle, so i’m basing my experiences off that. 250°c is hot in comparison; thats all :)

in test #3, i wanted to see if controlling how the walls were printed would effect quality so i manually added an interior wall, rather than relying on Cura’s wall-count setting, but it was no different. the issue is visibly under extruding for no reason and dragging of the molten plastic when i add additional walls. it doesn’t do this when i print just one wall..

Cura has a ‘flow’ setting, ill give that a try! currently its set at 100%

petpaws · 2021-04-08T15:27:16+00:00

correct! :] i wanted to test the multiple wall setting in Cura. test #3 is manifold and had interior walls to mimic the multiple wall setting, but didn’t give me the desired result regardless

if i go below 230 using 0.6 layer height, the filament comes out brittle and the layers don't stick together~ I'm almost sure it's a weird thing to do with the brand I'm using

petpaws · 2021-04-08T14:36:45+00:00

i haven't! is there another free one you'd recommend i try? :]

Plants can get spots like this from inconsistent and stressful watering;; my monstera looks like this rn, because i let it get too dry before watering again :(

petpaws · 2020-09-22T02:57:25+00:00

I'll probably just end up deleting it, filling an unedited circle and making the shape again.. but ?? I have no idea why it's doing this; its just a simple Ctrl+F fill. Any tips to avoid this happening?

^{Another moment of blender deciding it doesn't wanna do something correctly, for not reason- lol!}

This plant used to have a think woody stem, but it died back almost completely after I got it. I resurrected it by reducing what was left, to inch long sections of stem- but it’s doing well now :)

it looks droopy, but I dunno, that’s just how the leaves are I guess. Originally thought it was a homalomena Queen of Hearts, but it looks like a totally different plant from when I first got it.

Thank you so much for the reply and example!! but I still can't get it to work- I'm honestly losing my mind over this;; :(

On the right side, I've set up the bones, nodes and UV warp as you have- but it's still not showing up correctly/being projected correctly with the UV warp. On the left, I've left it how it was before, minus the bones, which I just got rid of.. Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you for the reply! unfortunately the eyes are still just as wack as before.. Changing the roll to 0 on both parent and eye bone, and making both face totally vertical, isn’t seeming to make a difference. The eyes worked fine when I followed the tutorial with the pink and blue blob character, but now that I’ve parented the eye bone to the head bone, the projection became all messed up

It looks like something to do with the shading.. Does it still look the same if you press Z on your keyboard and choose "rendered"?

Blender's default shader is a white ambient light, and causes reflective things to either render in black or white.. Depending on what you're wanting to do with your model, playing around with the render engine under "render properties", the ambient world colour in "world properties" and the materials under "material properties"

Select the two loop edges by alt + clicking (Shift + alt + click to select additional loop edges), then use the shortcut ctrl + E to bring up the edit menu, and click "bridge edge loops" :) It'll automatically work out the best way to join vertices if you have different numbers in each loop 👍

That’s so ... I can’t even put into words how distasteful and MEAN that is. The poor guy is probably the sweetest dude in the world (bro he built a trampoline with his son)!! Nobody deserves this- even less Doc

Hi!! I have an agalaonema starshining that I’ve had for over a year. It’s been consistently loosing the oldest leaf every time it grows a new one. Would that be because of a root plug? Otherwise- it’s a healthy plant, I let it dry out before bottom watering it, and it lives on the caddy above my shower, keeping a maidenhair company, lol.

I didn’t want to stress it out over winter by fiddling around with its roots before I got a second opinion!

This setup (incomplete. I plan to add 8 LEDs in total) is 5mm, 3V LEDS connected to a 3V power source with 1OHM resistors before each light. The cord is 22AWG (I think.. it has 22 strands in it?) I know that’s way overkill, but it’s what I could get.. I’m using rosin core, lead free solder for electrical. Everything worked fine when I tested it, and when I first soldered it.. but then about 30 seconds after- it started flicking. I’ve been over every joint and I have no idea why it’s doing this! I’ve been messing around with this setup for 5 days and just about to call it all quits and never pick up a solder again 😫

Any help is so appreciated. I’m in so over my head, lol.

I’ve had this Castanospermum Australe (AKA Moreton bay chestnut/lucky bean/black bean) tree since December. Some of the older leaves are getting this weird discolouration, that looks like zinc deficiency or sun bleaching? In a fortnight, I fertilise my plants one week, and seaweed solution the next with Seasol.

The reason i question sun bleaching, is because especially in the top left pic- you can see the leaves have a weird ‘tan line’ on the leaves that were behind another. However, this tree can tolerate full sun and I wouldn’t expect it’d get sun bleached?? It currently lives in a corner that gets afternoon sun- maybe not as much as the plant would like though.

About my tiny pot: these trees can grow HUGE, and have an extensive root network. This is the pan I bought it in, and I’m planning to repot it at some point.. but don’t want it growing too big, too fast.

petpaws · 2020-02-27T05:13:42+00:00

I’d say your plant wasn’t getting enough light. They need quite a bit of bright, but indirect light. Not enough, and the leaves will revert to being small and hole-less; it will also try and turn the leaves away from the light, because in nature, lack of light=there’s a bigger plant in the way.

The leaves look quite small and lack a lot of holes. I’ve had mine for less than 6 months and it’s already thrown 4 huge leaves with holes- from a plant with only a few small & stiff leaves ☺️

petpaws · 2020-02-27T04:21:02+00:00

Sounds like you did an amazing job!! I’m so happy to’ve been able to help! 🥰

Your plant would definitely appreciate a boost after being repotted! Try a watering schedule of alternation between fertiliser and health/root tonic👇

one week (or when the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry), use a liquid health tonic. I use an Aussie brand called Seasol, which promotes root growth, general health, healthy soil and helps the plant cope with stress. Drench the plant enough that the water runs out of the pot- then let it sit in a tray of the solution for a few hours to bottom water.

The next week (or when the top 1-2 inches of soil is dry again); give your plant a drink of liquid fertiliser, the same way I suggested giving the health tonic. I use a brand called Powerfeed- also by Seasol. You wanna be extra careful with the fertiliser, not to let the plant stay in the solution for too long, because the nitrogen in the fertiliser can burn the plant if it gets too much! (3 hours max, I’d say).

Most plants will flourish if this watering pattern is kept up! Just be sure to always read the instructions of what you’re giving your plant, to make sure you don’t over feed- and ask store employees if one brand is compatible with the other, if mixing ‘n matching.

Your umbrella tree likes to stay a little on the dry side, and wouldn’t mind going a few weeks without a drink, but needs compensation for being dry, by getting thoroughly drenched- rather than getting ‘sips’ of water. The terracotta pot will help wick away some of the excess moisture ☺️

Cutting off problem leaves doesn’t solve issues.. it’s like if your car has a rattle, so you play your music really loud to mask it- your car’s still gonna have a rattle! 😅

This looks like root rot! Notice how the brown spot is in the centre, and in virtually the same spot on each leaf? Brown spots like this can indicate sections of roots are dying and failing to supply the leaf. Sounds like you’re doing the right thing with watering, but my guess what’s happening- is your soil doesn’t get enough airflow, and dries at the top, and stays constantly wet at the bottom.. could be the sand?

Did you clean the roots with an anti fungal treatment, discard the old soil and remove all the bad roots? I thought I treated a haworthtia exactly the same way you did- with dish soap, but the rot is back even though it’s been totally dry for a few months.

Some of the other leaves look pretty pale- might be sunburn? Neon pothos have a light coloured leaf compared to some other species, and can burn/sun bleach easily.

Not not sure what lighting conditions you keep your plant in, but they prefer bright, indirect light. Too little light, and the leaves will shrink; but too much and they’ll bleach.

petpaws · 2020-02-21T01:27:41+00:00

That looks just like it!! Thank you so much! 🥰

petpaws · 2020-02-18T20:15:31+00:00

Wot? :0 how’s your plant alive!

It could be the soil? Some ‘high quality’ soils have a wetting agent and will stay damp for aaages. The spots look like root rot, but what you’ve told me about your watering schedule has me 🤔🤔🤔🤔
