What simple model to use to do a non-scientific strength test?

[bassamanator]

I decided to print a tall rectangular piece for a simple snap-it-with-your-fingers test: 10x5x50mm.

The standard, non-bricklayered version prints fine, of course. However, the modified, bricklayered version results in print failure everytime.

Can someone recommend the specs for a simple test print? Any slicer settings that I should enable?

Thanks!

PS I have no technical issues running the python script, etc.

Hi there @bassamanator - it's hard to give an answer without any detail about what's the print failure you have (do you have photos? Or error messages?) it would also help to know some print settings you are using. (How many walls, which engine - Classic or Arachne). A screenshot of the preview when "bricked" would also help (like, from a layer of the middle). Which slicer you are using, with which printer...

This is my third attempt. I suspect that the print fails because too much material is being squeezed between the inner and outer walls, and eventually, the part tips over. My printer is very well tuned.

• Sovol SV06.
• PrusaSlicer 2.9.2
• Arachne.
• 4 walls.
• My print settings are based off of Ellis's SuperSlicer print profiles.
• Also enabled zhop when the first attempt failed.

@bassamanator I am pretty sure you are using the script from TenTech. Mine doesn't produce that zig-zag wall.

@GeekDetour omg I feel so foolish! I think I ran into these 2 repos during the same week.

I'll try out your script tomorrow.

@bassamanator Could you give it a try? I am curious if you could print fine with my implementation.

My prints fails in the same fashion, but I can say that your script is superior (not disrespect to TenTech). The part prints more cleanly; the other script left my walls fuzzy, scraggly. The print fails because I think the edgeside of the nozzle ends up hitting the bricked layers, I'm thinking of CNC Kitchen's video from a couple of days ago.

I'm confident that if I were printing a "real" part, there would be no print issues. I'll see if I can think of a real part that would benefit from this and try. On my current test part, I could probably make it print successfully if I added a raft and perhaps thickened up the part a bit.
