As my first prints I decided to try out the Z Drive mount with different nozzle sizes and some default slicer profiles (with recommended infill %) to see what the difference in time/quality and strength might be.
0.4mm - 6 walls @ 0.42mm width for 2.52mm walls takes 2:08
0.6mm - 4 walls @ 0.62mm width for 2.48mm walls takes 1:17
0.8mm - 2 walls @ 0.8mm width for 1.6mm walls takes 0:58
(Not very regimented I realize as I enter it here - I was backgrounding it today) Quality-wise they all seem similar. Measurements were similar across the test prints. No obvious defects. So thinking that thicker walls means more strength and reading that gyroid is a stronger multi-directional infill than grid, which was the default in the slicer, I am reprinting with the 0.8mm nozzle but 3 walls with a 0.82 line width (2.46mm wall). For this model that adds 10min to the print time.
Assuming no big difference in the output this is what I’ll use next for the core which means ~7hr print time.
I forgot also that I got a Kobalt router the last day they were on sale so that’s going to be my spindle.
