@bdonvr you’ve probably heard this before… But magnetic PEI build plate is the best adhesion I’ve had.
Used glass on my CR10S but it’s night and day vs PEI on the ender 3 S1 plus.
Keeping it clean is key but copious quantity of IPA and a very light sand has worked so far.

@CarbonAlpine Amazing model. Did you publish anywhere? I’d like to print for a full size mock up horse I made.

@MissJinx there are a few but some are just rebadged versions of other slicers. Prusa/Orca and Slicer are two I have tried.

@MissJinx I’ve had issues with some slicers not coping with vase mode.

Did you try changing the vase mode settings?

Some models don’t work so well on vase mode. Usually with steep overhangs.

You might try a different slicer?

@andyspam this may be of some use. The YouTube channel I liked. https://auroratechchannel.com/

@AlexanderTheGreat have you tried 3D Builder on windows?

I’ve found it to be complimentary to Meshmixer. It has a nice combine function to simplify complex models.

@AlexanderTheGreat it’s old and cranky, but Meshmixer is still something I use.

Let’s you split and combine as well as align

@Ajen @GrayBackgroundMusic can confirm Pi Zero 2 runs Octopi nicely. Tried running it on old pc thin clients but not sure I recommend due to the faff/webcam issues. Am also dabbling with android phones with some success…

@RegalPotoo @Wilshire good point. Release agents are used for casting concrete. They look to be oil and water mix so I’m guessing most plastics would be compatible.
Also has to be a clear path out for the print/concrete.
