When people start out with 3D printing, they print a lot slower than Of saving print time, let’s go over print speed. Plastic and print time, and still have very strong pieces.
A honeycomb or hexagonal pattern is a bit stronger than theĭefault rectilinear pattern of infill. Want to just change the infill pattern instead of increasing theĭensity. You’re worried at all about strength or durability, then you might Reduce the time that it takes to print the pieces, as well as save Percentage was good enough, and it didn’t cause any loss of detail Because theseĪre game tiles that are meant to just sit on a table, they don’t Realized afterwards that was probably a bit excessive. The first few tiles I printed, I used a 20 percent infill. Just be aware that increasing theĭetail will also increase the print time significantly. Know that some people are very particular about layer lines and would They’re printed vertically, the bricks show the layer lines a lot Walls might benefit a bit more from an increase in detail. Especially on the floor tiles, this helps to highlight the patterns on the tops of the stones. If they were perfectly smooth, there wouldn’t be as much for the paint to catch on. They actually help to give the stones a rougher texture. If you’re worried about layer lines, then you could print it at a higher resolution, but as you can see in the pictures above, the layer lines aren’t terrible. Height is just fine for both the floor tiles and walls. Tiles and walls don’t usually have a huge amount of detail, so aįine resolution isn’t really necessary. Anything smaller is considered finerĭetail, and anything greater is considered rougher detail. Most cases, a layer height of 0.2 millimeters is considered a normal If you use a different kind, your settings might need to be different, but I recommend that you start somewhere around 60 degrees Celsius just to be safe. Again, these settings are for the specific type of filament that I used, which was Hatchbox PLA. The slight warp is negligible for me, but if you really wanted to get it perfectly flat, you could increase the bed temperature to maybe 65 or 70 degrees Celsius. I increased the bed temperature to 60 degrees Celsius, and it eliminated almost all of the warp. Temperature for that type of filament, and they still warped. Print bed at 40 degrees Celsius, which was the recommended In the picture above you can see that the walls I printed have aĭistinctly bowed shape on the bottom.
Longer, or have a lot of surface area, like dungeon tiles and walls. This is especially noticeable with objects that are Some print better at around 60 or even 70 degreesīed isn’t hot enough, then the plastic can lift off of the printīed as it cools. Settings, they all usually require a heated bed of at least 40ĭegrees Celsius. Popular filament for 3D printing, and the one that most of youĭifferent brands of PLA filament will have different optimal This article I’ll focus on PLA, because it’s by far the most Of the popular 3D printing filaments, including PLA, ABS, and PETG,Ĭan all warp if they’re not printed with the right settings. Later when you eventually paint your tiles. I’ll go over what settings you should use toĪvoid any problems, as well as share some tips that will help you Their shape, they can present some problems that you might notĮxpect, like warping. Who haven’t printed anything like dungeon tiles before. No matter which one youĬhoose, there are some things that you should know in order toĪrticle is mostly intended for people who are new to 3D printing, or Use, each with their own style and flavor. They also let them see details that might beĪre many different systems of 3D printable dungeon tiles that you can Make it easier for them to understand and imagine the environment They give players an accurate three dimensional Tiles, or dungeon tiles, are a good way to add interest and immersion
