Speed benchy

Hi, I'm an amateur “bastlíř”. I'm the proud owner of a 3d printer i3 MK3S+ and I want to find out the limits of this printer and how else than 3dbenches. I want to share this experience with you. For each version I always write its pros and cons.

NEW Version 2.2: 

“add pictures”

+ set correctly according to the rules

+ probably the fastest possible

+ prints in 6 minutes

- use prepared gcode or in slicer set speed to 4294967296 (2^32) and machine speed to 2147483647 (2^31-1) because prusaslicer can't store such big values and will store other ones instead

Version 0: 

+ best quality

- print in 1h 20 min

Version 1.1: 

+ prints only in 17 minutes

+ infill only under box on deck

- to much wasted filament

- holes in deck

Version 1.2: 

+ prints in 18 minutes, but in much better quality

- 4% infill everywhere

- bad chimney

(here i upgraded stock cooling system to one that’s bit more effective - link here)

Version 1.3: 

+ prints also in 18 minutes

+ improved chimney 

+ 4% infill, except Z heights 18,44 mm - 36,68 mm and 40,20 mm - 50,00 mm

Version 1.4: 

+ prints only in 17 minutes

+ faster movements (can possibly break your motors!!!)

- uses still the same infill (+ 4% infill, except Z heights …)

- can still be improved :)

- strange holes on whole body

Version 1.5: 

+ prints only in 17 minutes 

+ change location of seams

+ uses 2 primers (much higher quality)

+ uses only a 0,3 mm high layer (can go faster)

- the chimney broke again

Version 1.6: 

- didn’t improve anithing

Version 1.7: 

“add pictures”

+ fix chimney with seam position

+ faster print time (I recommed to use a glue for the best first layer)

Version 2.1: 

“add pictures”

+ set correctly according to the rules

+ probably the fastest possible

+ prints in 22 minutes
