Feature Request: Disable Tilt Mechanism for "Mechanical Models"

Open achingbrain opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Cross posting this from https://github.com/prusa3d/Original-Prusa-SL1/issues/9 - that repo hasn't had a commit in years, no idea if it's still used for anything.


Due to the physics of the tilt mechanism, mechanical parts can be warped as they are pulled unevenly and adhere to the bed for a short time before releasing.

Please add the ability to disable the tilt mechanism on a per print basis to allow for perpendicular delamination from the film via the Z axis. I believe this will improve quality of mechanical prints.

I suppose this would also require a Prusaslicer update to allow a box to be checked when slicing for the SL1.

Edit: I adding a few examples of people with the issue. forum.prusaprinters.org/forum/original-prusa-sl1-hardware-firmware-and-software-help/tilt-and-warped-mechanical-prints forum.prusaprinters.org/forum/original-prusa-sl1-general-discussion-announcements-and-releases/lumpy-bottoms-err-tops forum.prusaprinters.org/forum/original-prusa-sl1-general-discussion-announcements-and-releases/part-defections

Hello, thank you for your suggestion! We put this on the list for the future as soon as there is more time for testing we will hopefully be able to offer this feature also
