Hi Guys,

while I am not new to 3D printing I am new to the Zortrax M200 only having purchased one a couple of months ago.

I’m hoping someone can help with a new project we are working on.

the project is a lightweight aviation one. We are looking to produce a thin skin with a geodesic framework to support it.

we know from another project that the M200 is easily capable of producing accurate thin walls (down to around 0.4mm) that it uses to create light bridging structures automatically. The problem is that every thin wall section we create results in a thickness of around 1.0mm no matter how thin we model it. We suspect the reason is because M200 is making two passes for each side of the wall. If we are correct in our presumption is there a way to force the printer to print a section with only one pass similar to the support structures?

thanks in advance Dave

As for now, printing walls ~0,4 is possible using Shell option, it makes 1 round instead of 2.

Hi,

I’m not familiar the Zortrax software ecosystem but assuming there is a proprietary slicer, you should look for the “number of perimeters” or “number of shells” parameter.

good luck

Hi 3deo,

not sure I’ve seen these on the Zortrax software. I’ll take a look and try them as soon as I’ve finished the current print.

Hi Marcin,

i’ll give that a try. Thanks for the info.
