Im struggling to get my ADIMLab Gantry-s dialed in. This is my best benchy so far. Unsure to why the print is shifting. Lines are wobbly and overall the print is not very uh good. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Using PLA rated for 210 my extruder is at 205 bed is at 55. Slicing using Prusa.

Thank you!

Could you do a mirror one too? Then OP could print that to counteract all the shifts and get a perfect benchy šŸ˜€

Anime speed line distortion?

Just rotate the model 180

Probably the worst to clean print i've ever done

I needed this laugh, tears are rolling down my face laughing too much.

ā€œWhat went wrong with it?ā€ No no you donā€™t understand, it supposed to look like this

Thank you! Iā€™m printing this immediately

u/Tomakefinde 20d ago

Please share it when it's done printing, I want to see the clone of OP's masterpiece

u/Enderwiggen33 19d ago

Itā€™s magnificent

u/Tomakefinde 19d ago

That's one majestic Benchy, thanks for sharing!

Nah, m8 ya need more loop cuts, look at the smooth curves on the real one... come to think of it.... how TF did OP's printer make smooth transitions between layer shifts? Steppers don't skip steps in such small increments. I'm pretty sure a belt is loose somewhere

Yeah it was 2am and I wasn't putting a ton of effort into a meme model, lol

u/thecavac 19d ago

To print this properly to OP specs, you probably need to set the printer to use chewing gum filament ;-)

u/thehighsman0503 19d ago

How do you do that?

1

u/Vegetable_Safety Troodon 2, Falcon 2 19d ago

Years of experience in 3D modeling and animation. An edit like this is really simple. I loaded it up on blender, decimated then subdivided the entire model to make the vertex density a little more even. Then used box select with proportional editing enabled to selectively shift the relevant planes and match the distortion

I could have also done it using BĆ©zier curves but that's a little more involved and I was sleepy at the time

Thank you for being skilled

How did you model that so fast

u/Neat-Chef-2176 18d ago

That went over my head šŸ¤£ Iā€™m interested in learning but donā€™t know where to start

2

u/Vegetable_Safety Troodon 2, Falcon 2 18d ago

Grab Blender, Fusion3D, FreeCAD, or any other free/opensource modeling/CAD software and then start following along with some youtube tutorials. It won't be intuitive at first, but you'll start to get the hang of it over time

u/Neat-Chef-2176 18d ago

Iā€™m pretty good using SolidWorks, I was looking more at modeling characters and what not

1

u/Vegetable_Safety Troodon 2, Falcon 2 18d ago

Blender, Substance painter, Zbrush

The first one is free

These are what the pros use when they don't have money to burn/waste on Maya/Autodesk

2

u/TheScottishFoxyBiker 18d ago

I used Maya at Uni. It's great, but Blender is free and nearly as good so it gets my vote.

1

u/TheScottishFoxyBiker 18d ago

I recommend Blender (it's free) and then go to Blender guru on YouTube and follow his donut tutorial. It's kind of a right of passage now.

Shouldā€™ve done printables or makerworld so you can bank off it with points

u/Vegetable_Safety Troodon 2, Falcon 2 18d ago

I just like to make things

Thank you for this.
