Good day to you , i would like to ask about the print settings for a translucent flame https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/home/arcane-flame-lamp-printable-led-fantasy-light from this lamp.
How width is the line supposed to be? with a basic 0.42 i am getting marks on the print because in some places it seems the line width is too low and it fills those places and the final print then looks like dalmatian .
Good question, and you’re not doing anything wrong 👍
Just to clarify first: the diffuser walls on this model are designed to be exactly 1 mm thick. With that in mind, a 0.42 mm line width is a bit too narrow, and that’s what’s causing the issue you’re seeing.
When the slicer tries to resolve a 1 mm wall using very thin lines, it ends up alternating between underfilled and overfilled segments. That’s what creates the speckled or “dalmatian” look in translucent filament.
What I recommend instead:
• Line width: 0.45–0.48 mm (even on a 0.4 nozzle)
• This allows the slicer to resolve the 1 mm wall cleanly using 2 consistent passes
• Walls: 2 perimeters (this matches the intended wall thickness)
• Infill: 0% (the diffuser is wall-only by design)
• Layer height: 0.2 mm
• Flow: keep at 100% (don’t compensate with flow rate)
• Outer wall speed: slower helps translucency stay uniform
Translucent filaments are especially sensitive to inconsistent extrusion, so slightly wider line widths produce a much smoother surface and more even light diffusion.
If you want, let me know which slicer you’re using and I can give exact settings for it.
Hope that clears it up, and thanks for printing the lamp!
Thank you for taking time to reply, i was suspecting that my line is too narrow thanks for confirming it. I was printing it with a settings that i fine tuned for translucent bottles and lamps but i guess those were thinner than 1mm since there were no marks. I will increase my line width and reprint it. Either way thanks for help!
