Description

I had some overhang artifacts when I printed the Ford Mustang.

I used these overhang tests to fix the issue on my printer – maybe you will find them useful – before you attempt to print the chassis.

Tips to improve overhang:

  1. Print the body/chassis on its side, aligning the roof parallel to the extruder fan.
  2. Maintain the temperature as low as possible for the filament you are using. 
    Typically, 200ºC is suitable for Prusament PLA.
  3. Use 0.15mm layer height on a 0.4 nozzle

 

Best improvement

Best improvement so far is to use a dual fan setup:
