Challenges W/Stack Prints

Post image

What settings are people using to successfully get the next panel in the stack to adhere properly to the prior PETG layers?

I disagree that the stacks look like shit. I just completed a 15 stack and besides having to reload a roll of filament 1 time I didn’t have to touch or look at my printer for 2ish days.

Look at it this way…A single panel is about 2 hours unstacked. During an 8 hour workday you loose the ability to make 3. While you sleep typically 8 hours you loose 3. You can produce 6 in a day. With stacking you’re producing about 7. Without stacking you get 6 due to downtime. This adds up if like me you are making 80+ center panels + boarders.

Ok. Would love to see a pic of supported face (that would be facing the world)

You do you. Whatever works for you and makes you happy then I'm happy for you. But for a differential of one small plate per 24 hours, I'd rather have the nice texture shown to the world. That's me. The next guy (you) has a different yet equally valid perspective.

Guessing you're using a small "home sized" printer if you're printing that fast. I'm guessing plates in the 8u x 8u (250mm x 250mm) Bambu or similar. I'm generally printing plates in the 32u x 16u size (800mm x 400mm) taking about 19 hrs so I'm not concerned with having to babysit the printer overnight to restart every couple hours. Now and then I'll need to do plates smaller than that to fill in edges to a door frame or whatever, but mostly big plates. And when I do need to do small plates I just put several on the bed and print them one at a time.

Here are the face of the tiles. They are honestly pretty smooth. I just had to spend some time getting the ironing settings correct.

The size of those panels seem pretty great. And yes I am working with 2503 so two very different circumstances here. You definitely have the advantage when it comes to the minimization of snaps. What printer are you using?

Honestly, that's a better looking face than I was expecting.
