3D Printer Feet Sneakers [Cura 5.9 Scarf ZSeam]

These cute 3D printer sneakers have been designed by one of our Cura team members to illustrate the newly introduced settings:

  • Scarf Seam Length Determines the length of the scarf seam, a seam type that should make the Z seam less visible.
  • Scarf Seam Start Height The ratio of the selected layer height after which the scarf seam will begin.
  • Scarf Seam Split Distance Determines the length of each step in the flow change when extruding along the scarf seam. A smaller distance will result in a more precise but also more complex G-code.
  • Outer Wall Start Speed Ratio This is the ratio of the top speed to start with when printing an outer wall.
  • Outer Wall (start) Acceleration This is the acceleration with which to reach the top speed when printing an outer wall
  • Outer Wall End Speed Ratio This is the ratio of the top speed to end with when printing an outer wall.
  • Outer Wall (end) Deceleration This is the deceleration with which to end printing an outer wall.
  • Outer Wall Speed Split Distance This is the maximum length of an extrusion path when splitting a longer path to apply the outer wall acceleration/deceleration. A smaller distance will create a more precise but also more verbose G-Code

The settings

The printjob in the picture has been printed on a Makerbot Sketch Sprint the following settings changed

  • Scarf Seam Length = 15 mm
  • Scarf Seam Start Height = 0%
  • Scarf Seam Seam Step Length = 2.0 mm
  • Zseam Alignment = User Specified
  • Wall Ordering = Outside in
  • Outer Wall Inset = -0.2 mm
  • Maximum Resolution = 2.0 mm
  • Print Speeds are reduced to 100 mm/s

How to adjust the model for your 3D printer

  • Measure the size of the feet of your 3D printer in mm
  • Divide the value by 20
  • Multiply the resulting value by 100
  • Enter the value in the scaling fields, it helps if uniform scaling is enabled

Or remix PrinterShoes-PlainForRemix.stl to fit your needs. If you do, don't forget to share, we love to see your printers.
