Question: NonPlanar/Collision Parameters Help #50

Hello Everyone,

This is more of general usage question rather than an issue. I'm currently trying to print some nonplanar parts. I was wondering if anyone has more information and advice on how to set the Nonplanar layer parameters? Thus far I've blindly set each parameter, and the parts failed. I figured it would be best to get a full understanding of how they work.

Thank you,
MikeySpring

Maybe I can try to describe the parameters a bit:

  • "Maximum nonplanar angle": Sets the maximum angle where the surfaces are printed nonplanar (I set this < 10°)
  • "Maximum nonplanar collision angle": The maximum angle that can be printed without collision. This is only used for collision checking. The setting depends on your printer. 90° Disables the collision checking
  • "Minimum nonplanar area": Throws away all regions that are smaller than this to avoid very small nonplanar areas. Depends on the printed model.
  • "Maximum nonplanar collision height" Sets the maximum height of nonplanar surfaces. Maximum nonplanar collision angle has to be collision free in this region. The also depends on the hardware you use. Set to 999999 to disable.
  • "Ignore collision size" Ignores collisions smaller than this value. Basically a workaround to get rid of small artifacts generated by the offsetting algorithm that is used for collision checking.

Maybe this helps.
