3:05 I like how you just casually mention this absolute game-changing feature. Clear prints is something that I've always just assumed would never be possible in 3D printing. At least not with out weird workarounds.
All you that thumbs up! Please spread the word and please spend that few seconds and send the Prusa team an email to ask them not to remove the setting!!!!
Just to want to say I love these videos. They're concise, and your approach explains everything without dumbing it down too much OR assuming too much from your users. Really impressed, thank you!
Same - s3d got me hooked, but the bs they're pulling with paid upgrades on an 'all upgrades included' price bait and switch...followed by other slicers getting some crazy cool features, it's probably not a bit step to change.
I can't get over how good PE Slicer is... like leaps and bounds more advanced than slicers that come with $20,000 printers like a Markforged. You guys are amazing.
The new Prusa Slicer 2.3.0 is a very useful further development. Have been using this version for a few days and the new features like ironing work fantastic. To the Prusa development team: You did a great job. Thumb up!
I really appreciate all the features that are being added to the FREE software. Somewhat amazed that it's still free given all it has to offer. Thank you, Prusa!
It was THE feature i missed grom Cura, glad to see it here :) There are other stuff in cura, but they are much, much more situational, whereas this will be useful often :) Next thing i hope will be fuzzy skin :)
That is a pretty cool implementation, Well done boys and girls, Yet another fine example of why someone should buy from Prusa over a Chinese POS, When the last time someone heard of them innovating to an already existing product like Prusa has time and time again.
Well it's slicer option and actually has nothing to do with printer itself. I did this first time quite a while a go on my Chinese POS Anet A6 with Cura. It actually worked really well. It's really nice to see that I can _finally_ use this feature with my Prusa.
Earlyer this Year you talked about non planar slicing and if its worth it. A good start would be to enable such a feature for just the last few layers. You wouldnt have to modify your printer with a longer nozzle and you could cover the print steps on almost-planar areas. that would be a big increase to prints that have round tops like heads or so.
I’d love to see an ironing inset, which offsets the distance of the ironing path from the perimeter. That’s also implemented in cura and I found, that it vastly improves the quality of edges.
At 7:20 you mentioned about fuzzy edges after ironing. Cura got crucial modifier for that called "Ironing Inset". That modifier let you set the distance how far from the edge the ironing should finish (in milimeters od fraction of milimeter). It basically eliminates the problem with fuzzy edges. This is extremely important, especially on objects with rounded edges. This video was prepared 2 years ago for PrusaSlicer 2.3. Now we have official 2.6 version and equivalent of that function is still not present in PrusaSlicer. Do you think about solution to "fuzzy edges" on ironed objects and when can we expect it?
Another thing to keep in mind when ironing that I discovered playing around with one of the alphas of 2.3, make sure you have plenty of top layers and/or the top layers are well supported. I did a sample print with very few top layers (3 I think) and because the nozzle spends so much time going over the top that it became soft and started to droop a little between the support of the infill.
They should have the option to exclude perimeters / set distance away from edge for ironing. For the perimeters maybe have the option to print the top infill first, iron it, then print the perimeters.
Fuzzy skin is still something I really would like to see in PS. Especially together with an anti-ironing rough top surface mode and textured built plate 😍
If you, like me, are getting constant extruder jams on an original Prusa MK3 using the default Prusaslicer profile for it: that's a cold end jam due to heat creep from the motor cause it's just extruding too slowly. Doubling ironing flow to 30% and speed to 30mm/s will work! TEST YOUR OWN PRINTERS BETTER, Joe!
This is cool! Is the time for each feature type shown in this video part of the 2.3 release too? I'm on 2.2 and can't find out how to get it to appear.
Yes i am aware of that thank you, but i mean an actual option. For example a loot of my prints have a very complex top surface like a Name or something and then its verry hard do make the right modifiers.
Great feature! I've been waiting for this feature for a long time! Really very useful. One question, can you make that modifiers can be adjusted down to a surface? Or from one surface to another surface? Without roughly adjusting them? Or from one layer height to another layer height? Thanks very much 😉 Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
Good overview of this new feature! Excited to play with it more. BTW what is that amazing spool holder you have there that shows off all your amazing Prusament rolls like that?! 😉
To be honest the Monotonic infill interests me more than the ironing. Not that the ironing isn't an amazing feature, just I have for so long wished the top and bottom layers were filled in a uniform direction to stop the "shimmer" from the filament being laid down in a different direction :D
Even if it’s some functional part that it’s hidden somewhere that no one will ever see, I try to make them as nicely looking and crisp as possible… am I weird for this? The ironing feature is really awesome.
My nozzle kept on clogging when Ironing. So I came here to find out how switch it off. But even the UI you show here is not the same as the version you show here. But thanks. I still learned something.
great feature but everytime I try using ironing, my nozzle clogged. I'm using stock MK3s but with genuine copper-plated 0.4 nozzle, HeaterBlock, and titanium heat break from E3D driectly
Would it not be beneficial if you could set another temperature for ironing? I guess it's easy enough to manually play with temperature in the gcode, but i think it would be a nice feature to add into the slicer.
@@irfuel that's why I implemented it, large surfaces. I get that it can happen, but it's never happened to me. I tried turning it to 0 in the new slicer and it wouldn't let me. Come on Nanny Prusa!
Ironing is implemented great except i would like to be able to offset a distance from the edge of the print to eliminate the potential for fuzzy edges. S3D allows me to do this.
Ooh the old Star Trek badge. I liked the 30th century ones better though, cause they are tricorders personal transporters and some holographic screen thing too.
Hi there! Is there an option to turn Ironing on, but letting the perimeters untouched (without having to do tricky things, like importing an personalized model, with offset surfaces, that exclude the the perimeters or changing the gCode). If not, I think, that could be a nice and relatively easy to implement option, that would help to keep edges clean and sharp while keeping almost all the surface smooth and flat. Btw, very nice and comprehensive video :)
I have had some issues with a 0.25mm nozzle and ironing. It gives a nice finish but the nozzle tends to clog. I wonder of there could be a series or retractions to keep the filament moving a bit... I am using a Hemera but it sort of looks like there is some softening... perhaps a temperature for ironing? This would allow some great customizing.
Great feature, but I’d like to keep my nozzle as clean as possible. This sounds like it will get dirty real quick because it’s just scraping over the layers over and over again.
You really should have made it clearer that you were using a beta version of the software. I kept looking for the ironing settings in version 2.2.0 and could not find them. Thought I was going crazy.
I don't think that exact one is available anywhere. It looks a lot like a laser cut version of the spool holder that comes with the Prusa Mini. The Mini version is adjustable to allow for different spool dimensions, something they obviously wouldn't need in the Prusa office. STLs for the Mini are here - www.prusa3d.com/prusa-i3-printable-parts/ Mini instructions - help.prusa3d.com/en/guide/building-your-mini_177717#179085
Been playing with it in Beta verry cool feature . But I wonder if you would do 1 external perimeters then infill ironing? Also the Big thing that could help is having the % of the overlapping vary with thicknesses of solid layer below it... If you do that Prusa logo with calibrated fillaments and less % like 5% event without ironing it's a LOT nicer... I'll try to do one today
Please fix the Hull line on the 3D Benchy. All other Slicers are able to Print it without Problems. Ecept Prusaslicer or Superslicer..... sad because i liked Prusa. So now i switched to Cura
1:04 - I would love if you presented some anchor / keyword where to look for or what to google if my top surfaces aren't right (for non-flat things). Ye, Im novice, don't yell at me.
Not exactly easy sifting through the updates to Slicer. You guys live and breath this stuff everyday but us end users want simplicity. I even deleted/removed the version I had and just downloaded the "latest version" only to find out it was what I had. And no "Ironing" in the drop down. Guys, why not have a button option in the Help menu or where ever that gives you the option to confirm we have the latest version loaded and all the updates? You click it and it does it automatically.
I have tow halves of an object that need to be mated to each other and have been placing these mating surfaces down into the print bed using PrusaSlicer. Would "Ironing" these surfaces provide a smoother surface than printing flat to the print bed? I ask because it still does not have a tight fitment. Thanks for any directions.
