0.2mm Layer Height + 0.4mm Nozzle
Everything was designed with these feature sizes in mind.
5 Top Layers + 5 Bottom Layers
To avoid infill on 1mm thick vertical shell thickness and provide thickness around screw holes.
Arachne-only Walls
Some features are too small to recreate with ancient technology.
Don't forget to set shrinkage for ABS/ASA!
Calibrate with a test cube; Shrinkage can be found in the filament settings of OrcaSlicer.
Chassis Inventory & Materials
-
Top Plates
The top plates are mostly decorative, save for the Lemonstruder. Show off your printing abilities with a flashy filament and upload your results to the photo album. -
Unibody Chassis
The chassis should be made from a stiff material, and it does not experience savage heat. Therefore I would recommend PLA. -
Mid Plates
high temp material is required because these serve as the motor mounts. -
Tensioner
The tensioner experiences some torsion, so a drift-resistant material like CF-PETG is recommended. -
Lemonstruder
Lemonstruder is made of two parts. It experiences compression from the spring, so a drift-resistant material with good dimensional accuracy is preferred. -
Risers
Raspberry Pi mounts to these and they keep the SKR Pico pinned down. The material doesn't matter. -
Z-Tensioner
Does not experience much load, but does experience heat from the motor, so ABS is recommended. -
XY-Spacer
This links the X and Y rails together to create the XY plane. A stiff material, resistant to warping and drift, would be ideal like CF-PETG.
Z-Axis Inventory
-
Z-Axis
Choose any material for this part, just make sure it looks awesome. -
Bed Bracket
The bed bracket is made from two parts. A stiff material like CF-PETG would be ideal. -
Bed Holder
This is best printed in CF-PETG and the spine can be printed in whatever you want, I recommend matching the tool head materials. -
Spool Holder
This has a captive nut, so make sure to add a pause! Layer adhesion is important here, so PLA is a good choice.
Tool Head Inventory
-
Tool Head & Clamp
The tool head houses the hotend and thus must be printed in ABS. The clamp is a small part that holds the wires in. -
Clip
Clips the belt to the tool end. Layer adhesion matters most, so I recommend PETG or PLA.
