Calculate the extrusion multiplier as a difference between resulting and suggested weights. The tolerance should be within a few grams. Print the test part (the bigger the better), check the weight and compare the resulting weight to the diagram.

You can find suggested weights of most parts in the PDF user guides of each plane. We need to make the part lightweight yet strong enough.

The Extrusion multiplier is a value where you can adjust the overall weight of printed parts. 1,75 mm and 3 mm are just the systems, and the actual diameter value may vary a bit causing under extrusion or over extrusion. Please measure the average filament diameter of each spool with callipers prior to altering these settings, we’ll address this later on the “Other” tab. This tab contains all the necessary settings to tune up the extrusion and retractions. Set the values according to the image as a starting point.

Let’s start with configuring the basic process for the wing/fuselage part. Direct drive E3D V6 hotend seems to be a perfect choice.įurther in this article, we’ll try to explain the aspects of preparing the gcodes from scratch, so you better understand all the settings. Also, keep your hotend in a good shape, and if you’re still unable to tune up the extrusion, consider upgrading it. Check all the axes could move freely and are perfectly perpendicular to each other. Please note, any Simplif圓D settings couldn’t fix a poorly built or designed printer. If your printer requires tweaking the settings, use the factory file as a starting point and adjust only the necessary parameters.

If you’re using original Prusa i3 compatible printer with direct drive extruder, all you have to do is open the factory file, hit Prepare to print button and save the resulting gcode to your printer SD card (or just use our prepared gcodes, made precisely this way). Since we provide factory files for all parts, all of the necessary work, such as setting up processes and bed layout has been done for you.
