The 4 mm nozzle on a makerbot 3d printer may not be able to print well at layer heights higher than 35 mm.

Roof thickness makerbot.

Makerbot is here to support the medical community at this time to help combat the shortage of necessary supplies. Heres a scenario imagine a staircase consisting of 3 steps. Ideally the floor for the box needs to be an exact whole multiple of the layer height. I was just wondering if there is a way to increase surface thickness instead of just roof floor thickness.

Roof sheathing standard roof sheathing which consists of 4 by 8 sheets of plywood or oriented strand board or osb is 1 2 inch thick and attaches directly to the roof rafters or the roof trusses. An object with a higher layer height will print faster. If there are visible gaps on the roof part of your model or you d like a stronger print increasing the roof thickness might help. In general a roof truss manufactured from 2 by 4 lumber will support as much roof load as a 2 by 6 or 2 by 8 rafter.

0 35mm to 0 45mm seems to do it depending on your layer height. This group of settings includes. Makerbot 3d printing initiative to combat covid 19 as covid 19 continues to impact the world the need for 3d printing solutions to provide supplies to the medical community increases drastically. If we were to make it the same thickness as the walls it.

It seems to be a threshold to small and nothing will slice. The roof and floor settings affect the solid layers that form the top and bottom of each print. Roofthickness sets the thickness of your object s solid roof in millimeters. Sets the thickness of your object s solid roof in millimeters.

The wall thickness for the sides needs to be 0 98mm. Too thick and you get two walls. When this setting is used roof thickness is independent of layer height and number of layers. If rooflayercount is enabled this setting will not be used.

When i made these pins from memory. When this setting is used roof thickness is independent of layer height and number of layers. Floor thickness adjusts how thick the base layer bottom of first step will be and roof thickness will adjust the thickness of the surface of the 3rd. A lower layer height will result in a smoother surface.
