"Plastered" printing of articulated animals

[fabiovix]

Hi everyone!

it's been a few days that I'm trying to print some articulated animais, like a Octopus (I work on a school, want to show the students). But it seems to get "plastered", like too much material on the Joints when I use the PlusaSlicer 2.8.0 with the PrusaSlicer-Ender3-v3-SE-Config.
I'm using PLA, alread tested 210 and 200º degrees on the nozzle. The strange thing is that the same STL file prints flawslessy when I slice it on the Cura 5.8.0. Anyone had this problem? I didn't have this problem on the Ender 3 V2 + Plusaslicer, only on the Ender 3 V3 SE.

In the cura profile, what's the flow multiplier? In my profile, it's set to 1.00x (1 mm requested = 1 mm extruded). Did you try lowering this multiplier (0.98x) or calibrating your extruder?

Good Morning suchmememanyskill

Here, it's attached the gcode output from both Cura 5.8.0 and Plusa 2.8.0.
I'm only using the default parameters from Cura for the Ender 3 V3 SE (other than I enabled the supports). In Plusa, I'm only using this project config bundle besides enabling supports.

In CURA, regarding the flow in the "Material" tab, I'm using the default (100%).

I'm impressed, too, about the difference in the size of the gcode generated (910kb in CURA, 14.1mb on Plusa).

Hi!

suchmememanyskill I've printed on both software a small piece, for testing support on both software. Here are the photos.

The PlusaSlicer version is very difficult to remove the support.

Looks like snug is enabled in cura but not in prusaslicer, hence the difference in shape.

The contact distance is quite close (0.15mm times 2), try increasing it

Hi! Really, it solved the problem. In my opinion, this type of support (snug), should be the default on PrusaSlicer.
