This Episodes Questions:

Hi everyone, I am jeroen pattyn from belgium  and im a 3D print hobbyist for 2 years now .  Is there a possibility to use 2 different kinds of support on 1 model ? Sometimes i m thinking to use organics on one overhang and raster on the other . This for saving some time and getting better results . I was thinking first i could do this with the paint on supports in prusaslicer but i dont find a possibility .  I have a prusa xl 5 head printer and a bambulab x1 CARBON  i would like to hear your thoughts on this one guys . Greetings from belgium and keep doing the fun job with the podcast .

Listening to the most recent podcast discussing volumetric flow rate. If you weren’t aware, this can be displayed in cura. Once the model is sliced in the preview tab, there’s a drop down where you can select options other than line type. One of these is flow, and it will show a color gradient on the model of what the volumetric flow rate is at different regions of the print. This can be used to see the max vol flow value too. Cheers! Ben

I’ve been 3D printing for about 8-months. I currently have a Bambu Labs X1C. I’ve never dried filament. I had the last meter or so of a roll of PLA get brittle and I just recycled it, but no other issues. I mainly print with PLA and PETG. I store them in sealed plastic cereal boxes with desiccant. They hygrometers in the boxes typically read ~10%. I keep fresh desiccant in the AMS, and the humidity meter in the slicer is typically under 3 our of 5. The social boards are filled with wars over “to dry, or not to dry”. Can you give us the true skinny on this topic? Two questions on filament drying: 1) Under what conditions do you dry filament? What types, and how do you know they need drying? 2) If you dry filament, what do you use. I know the X1C can dry, so I already have one option. I’ve seen people use food dehydrators. And then there are special purpose filament dryers. Thoughts and recommendations would be appreciated. Love your podcast! Paul
