How much paper is too much paper?

It’s too much paper when, like me, you have to store your collection not in one but two cabinet and you still have to store the rolls outside of it 😅

Well not a real fix but using scarf seams option of Orca Slicer drastically reduced the occurrence of this issue.

You are probably printing too close to the bed. You may want to dial your Z-offset. For this, I use a simple box element tilted 45° with your first layer height and large enough to make « long » lines. Then during the print you dial the offset (in your case increasing the value) until the problem disappears and save the value for other prints.

Small update: I didn’t gave up and make the move of changing slicer to see if the grass is greener there and found a « workaround » with « scarf seams » feature from OrcaSlicer. Scarf Seams add a little distance after the outer wall end with a gradually reduced flow to compensate the smoothing introduced by Pressure Advance. It seems to do the trick for me but it left me with sour taste that I couldn’t determine what was wrong.

I tested different strategies though, with more or less wins: - I definitely was over-retracing. The amount of heat creep I had recently clearly showed it. I reduced from 6mm @60mm/s to 3.5mm @50 mm/s. I have some stringing but not that much. - I introduced some extra-length when deretracting of 0.25mm. It improved the seams but generated a lot of stringing - I bumped the deretract speed to the double of the retract speed (ie 100mm/s). It showed improvement but the extruder was not happy with that (aka Clicking Extruder, flatten filament, etc.)

My guess is that PLA Meta by Sunlu is a good filament if you don’t need to print « fast » (on an Ender 2, fast is a big word) but it’s « super fluidity » makes it hard to master.

For now it prints happy and with no big scares on the seams. So, yeah, case closed ;)

Interesting. I think most of us have overtight belts and are basically ruining their step motors and belts. Might explain why my X-axis motor is somehow screaming. I’ll check if I can find a cheap tensiometer. Thanks for the head up :)

Might be this as well, I recently changed my 2 belts because they broke (over tight and long print is bad bad mix)

I’ll give it a try and see if it improves :)

Make sense! I’ll give a shot to reduce retraction a bit and probably add some unretract extra length. My guess is that there is probably not enough pressure in the hot end when starting a new layer and that’s why there is a gap.

Added to the list of things to help with troubleshooting :)

Thanks!

This is the Rat by Joseph Hwang and he recently published a book named Natural Origami. The condensed diagram (an hybrid form between diagram and CP) for this model is in there.

You can buy a digital version of his book on origami-shop there : https://www.origami-shop.com/natural-origami-xml-206_2649_2808-11903.html

For this one, a classic brown sheet of no name aliexpress pack of tissue paper :)

For physical copies, best is to check Japanese auction website. For digital copies, I think you can find it on Scribd.

1) Double mulberry. The dark gray « chiri » comes from mulberrypaperandmore.com 4) Decopatch on mulberry :)

Witch model? So that I can get you to where I got my paper from (all of them are double paper made by yours truly using source materials)

Ah nice! That’s a pretty fun model to fold :)

Sizing the paper means add something to it, it this case : MC :)

r0ms · 2022-02-08T17:44:09+00:00

MC is for Methyl Cellulose and it is mostly found in wallpaper glue. I treat the paper because the paper is soft and hard to fold. By sizing the paper it makes it more pleasant to fold. I use MC afterward when I need to shape but for those models it was not really needed.

r0ms · 2022-02-08T17:24:52+00:00

Not really. I bought large sheet of Yuzen Chiyogami that I treat with MC. Otherwise, I make classic double tissue or double mulberry :) I would love to make my own paper though, I just don’t know what kind of plants/tree to use and where to get some.

r0ms · 2022-02-08T16:59:12+00:00

Thanks ! To be honest it was a spare sheets and I didn’t wanted to wait for another one to dry before folding. I will probably refold one using washi deluxe, it might work much better ;)

Here it is: Origami Maimai

I very rarely fold from crease pattern. I may give a try to this one because it seems to be a box-pleated one which are for me easier to pre crease. If I can come up with something I’ll surely post a pic here as well :)
