Virtual 3D Printed Fibers and what Slicer to use!

What this episode covers

In this episode, we discuss the proposal to use "virtual fibers" to strengthen FDM 3D printed parts that work by adding tiny holes to your model! We also go through whether you actually need to buy a slicer or if the free and open-source ones are now just as good - and finally, Tom twist's Stefan's brain with continuous belt 3D printers and why they can't use a vertical Z-axis. ### SHOW NOTES ### RepRap Ltd. article on virtual fibres https://reprapltd.com/fibre/ Joel's video on Simplify3D issues https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UWMoXw917k Stefan's PC parts AMD Ryzen 7 2700X https://themelt.zone/2700X/ Asus Prime X470-Pro https://themelt.zone//X470Pro/ MSI RTX 2070 https://themelt.zone//MSI2070/ 1TB Samsung 860 SSD https://themelt.zone//Samsung860-1TB/ also, a new Synology 6-bay NAS https://themelt.zone//Synology6/ Tom's PC parts https://toms3d.org/my-gear
