3D PRINTING

IMPORTANT – PRINT SETTINGS

I upload a print setting files for all my models. The print settings has the parts positioned for correct printing and with support painted. Use “Tree Manual” as the support setting. I strongly recommended you use my print setting file. If not, I will not be able to assist you if there is an issue when printing. From experience, many of the issues with printing my models are on account of users not using my print settings.

3D PRINT SETTINGS

I use the following settings and materials to print this model: Infill % : 15% (no need for more) Nozzle diameter: 0.4 mm Layer height: 0.2 mm standard Material: PLA is recommended as its more rigid. PETG or other filaments may cause the part to deform or may not work with the built-in tolerances. PLA-CF and PETG CF and other materials often print too wide and cause parts not to fit.
