/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I've printed ten+ of these tolerance tests and my conclusion is I don't know what the fuck I'm doing.

I use prusaslicer and it is maddening. The two biggest effects seem to be fill gaps and xy compensation, but it refuses to dial in. Like the prints are too inconsistent. I've never experienced this in any other test print. Usually you print out something like a bridging test, you make changes and you get a better print. Even YouTube sucks for tolerance tests. There is video after video showing a print, but not one fuck tells you what settings to mess with to make it better. And the forums, fuck man if you aren't an expert then don't bother. Haven't been this mad about 3D printing since I was trying to get my new board upgrade working. I think I give up. Ender 3 style printer and yeah at this point I should have bought the prusa or built a high quality printer.
