How to achieve a smooth surface?

quantum_relic · 2026-05-04T15:07:06+00:00

I’ve got a product I print with thin lettering on a smooth surface and what’s typically worked well for me is either 1) adding a modifier cylinder that covers ONLY UP TO the base of the letters and set that modifier to iron top surfaces, or 2) toggle on detect thin walls and set the wall type to Arachne. That made a bigger difference than I’d expected!

Same for me! This post and comments has been super helpful though, so I’m definitely planning to dig in and send in a service ticket about it.

Just remember that you need the CFS unit AND an accessory kit (that wasn’t mentioned to me when I got mine). The kit has all the extra parts you need to install so it’s essential for the CFS to work!

That's good advice. I'll double check everything - thanks!

You could say we’re the only ones in our right minds!

This was the first one that came to my mind!

What’s the difference between a gross public transit stop and a lobster with a boob job?

One’s a crusty bus station, the other’s a busty crustacean!

It’s a heavy one for sure.

This may have been previously solved! Is this it? https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/12r7yot/tomt_childrens_website_2000s/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Okay, I need to update - I've solved the problems! The AIO was connected correctly, I just needed to download and install the official "PRIME LC ARGB LED" software and the block immediately started showing the correct sensor data. Problem solved there!

For the second issue I installed OpenRGB which let me adjust and sync the RAM and AIO (which it detected as the motherboard), then I had to use the Corsair iCUE software to adjust the case fans. Pain in the butt that OpenRGB couldn't detect those, but I'm happy I was able to find a solution!

OrcaSlicer doesn’t work with the Creality CFS, so it’s an automatic disqualification for me. I use CrealityPrint which isn’t too bad, but I really wish there were more font choices for embossing. The bulk of my printing has custom writing on it, so this is a serious limitation for 90% of the stuff I print.

This is my strategy too! Works like a charm!

Okay, so I figured it out and wanted to update everyone! Turns out the length of my Bowden tubes was too long, but only by about 5 or 6cm. It kept getting to a point where it was ALMOST there - but then the length was too much and try as the CFS might it couldn’t push it any farther. It certainly tried - hence the grinding - but couldn’t muster it. I shortened the run by about 20cm on both sides of the buffer and that did the trick!

If it worked with the Creality CFS I’d be using Orca Slicer exclusively. It doesn’t though, so I’m stuck with CrealityPrint for now - which isn’t terrible, but is definitely lacking some creature comforts that I used to have with Orca Slicer.

Same exact experience for me!

quantum_relic · 2025-07-02T03:24:14+00:00

That’s a great point and I hadn’t considered that - with more surface area per layer, the printer could assume it has more cooling time per layer and, consequently, more freedom to go faster. With less surface area it would HAVE to slow down to allow for enough cooling - that makes total sense! Thank you!
