The Printing Assignment
My wife asked if it’s not possible to print a plant watering reservoir. It needed to be for the smaller plants with very small pots, most of them are hanging on a wall where rain water doesn’t reach.
Luckily, after some searching on Printables, I found this .
I was thinking that I can use the last of my transparent PETG filament.
Adoptive Layer Height
Not sure how or why, but I came across the use of Adoptive Layer Height. Now I know, it was mentioned in the instructions of the 3D model of course (see the link to the 3D model earlier).
As I was not sure how it’s done in the Orca slicer I had to do some research and found this article . It explains what it is how to apply it and why you need it. For me this was an eye-opener.
It is really cool how we can influence the layer height in selected areas and get an enhanced resolution in the object. Especially for sphere- and tube like objects.
I started my little 3D printing project consisting of 4 watering globes. One takes just over 1 hour on my Qidi Q1 Pro printer.
The Result
What about the result? Yes, I have to say that it was a 3D printing project that went really smoothly. It seems like everything was dialled in just right this time.
