![]() The way to fix this is to clean up the model using Netfabb’s online model repair tool. You won’t be able to see this by looking at the model and it’s rarely possible to notice it when checking the sliced layers. It’s possible that the model itself has issues that need to be fixed. Finally, a somewhat unknown fact, is that sometimes it’s not the printer or the slicing settings that are at fault.If it begins to warp, it will cause the hotend to hit the printed object. Make sure your part is sticking to the bed.Note that you may now have extra stringing on your print because the hotend will hop from one point to another and won’t be wiping itself on the print. This will have the hotend move up 1-2mm before traveling to a new point on the print. If you’re printing really thin layers (under 0.15 mm), try turning on z-hop by going to Expert > Open expert settings > Z shop when retracting.Hope these issues do not "scare" you away from using a CAD package, but only help bring up the related underlying issues involved with them.Shifted layers usually happen due to the hotend hitting the printed object while it is traveling from one point to another over the print. to use 25 layers where 2 or 3 layers is enough, well that's just wierd to me. Why anyone would plunk down unplanned layers - let alone not include some references to the use per name, is one thing. No discipline is immune to this layer abuse virus The ability to turn off things like ceiling grids and Arch symbols for hard copy (plots) is of great value!Īpparently, the abuse of layering is found in more than just Construction CAD drawings! From your post, they are also found in Signal EE CAD work! I will use layers as required for a certain page. It's a result of compiling the plan file from multiple team members into a single file / page. Not all layers contain complete entities, nor are all these really needed! Another 15 for text, and maybe 20 for symbols. use.įor example, I have seen base plan files with upto 40 layers used for walls alone. Seems like many Architects end up with the same over-abuse of layers, after a project's Planset is compiled together for Prelim. In the types of CAD drawings used for Construction, multi layers can be of help - if done right otherwise, they become very annoying and major time wastes. (layers 2 and 3 could be combined as one layer, further reducing the layers to 3 total). With PCB layouts, I would say 5 layers is 1 layer too many! Xover 3.0 for designing Audio System Crossover filter networks.īassbox pro for designing Speaker Enclosures.īTW, my current CAD application is AutoCAD R14 for Windows.Īs an electrical engineer dealing with signal processing circuit boards and chips, I find "layered" drawings a real pain to deal with.īelieve me, I know where you are coming from here! ![]() 5 is my Primary Electronic Circuit designing + testing application. I use a few of these applications - all in the "Low End" $$$ areas!Ĭircuit Maker ver. These apps typically perform the Digital or Analog simmulation via SPICE / PSPICE. These allow the user to draw a Schematic, plunk down some Circuit Elements (passive and active items), then run the circuit for a "Virtural Reality Smoke Test". Oh, almost forgot applications which are "Semi-CAD" type: Circuit Simulation apps. I used it a little, but being "Jaded" by CAD applications, did not become an experienced user of Visio. I must admit, there is at least one "Non-CAD" application that has been used well by some people. There are some less expensive CAD versions, such as AutoCAD's "LT" series, and AutoSketch. Other benefits for using a CAD application are Layered Drawings, linking other drawings to one drawing without affecting the linked drawings, and linking "Non-CAD" items - such as Spreadsheets and pictures, to a drawing (via OLE). Symbols like those used on typical "E" sheets are saved as Blocks, however Blocks are not limited to Symbols only. Hundreds of "Blocks" are available which are public domain. Learning to use CAD apps is very valuable, CAD drawings may be incorporated easier to other drawings, Can use the CAD application for more tasks in the future, ![]() Much More "Universal" than the Non-CAD apps, While there are a few "Non-CAD" type applications which may be used, I would suggest going the "CAD Application" route.
