Model Overview & Print Notes

TLDR

These use half the filament and print much faster compared to normal baseplates. A 4x4 in just 14 minutes of print time! Drop down the “Open in Bambu Studio” button and click “Download STL/CAD File” to download the pre-made sizes. Or use the “Customize” button to make your own. 0.8 nozzle recommended for ultra fast prints but 0.4 or any nozzle is great also.
 

What's Different?

I made this from scratch to make it parametric and ultra light. Here's why this prints faster and with less filament:

  • Skeletonized the entire base so only walls are printed
  • Overhangs between grids removed
  • Bottom lip removed (Doesn't effect functionality)
  • Small sliver of the top removed (Doesn't effect functionality)

     

Nozzles and Print Settings

0.8 nozzles are recommended since you can print these with just 1 wall, as the base is 0.8 thick. But any nozzle works. Every other setting not listed below is fine on default.

0.8 Nozzle: - 14min of model print time for a 4x4!

  • Walls: 1
  • Layer Height:
    • 0.32mm recommended - for speed and quality, 14 min for 4x4
    • 0.24mm for quality, 16 mins
    • 0.56mm it works but the quality isn't the best at 13.5mins, I'd stick with 0.32
  • Wall Generator: Arachne

0.4 Nozzle:

  • Walls: 3 
  • Layer Height: 0.28mm recommended - Any lower doesn't make it print better, so just use 0.28 for the speed.
  • Wall Generator: Arachne

 

 

Boost MeIt took a while to make this parametric since I had to redo and optimize the entire base from scratch. But it was worth all the filament it'll save everyone :)
