||||||
|
|
||||||
**Never use the unicode multiplication symbol (×, U+00D7) in any documentation, code, or markdown.**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Always use a plain lowercase 'x' for dimensions and multiplication.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- WRONG: `25mm × 25mm × 25mm`
|
|
||||||
- CORRECT: `25mm x 25mm x 25mm`

||||||
# Wiki Tagging Standards
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All wiki pages should use YAML frontmatter for tagging.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Challenge Tags
|
|
||||||
All challenge pages must include the following tags:
|
|
||||||
- `challenge`: Identifies the page as a challenge.
|
|
||||||
- `challenge-NNN`: A unique sequential identifier.
|
|
||||||
- `challenge-001`: October 2025
|
|
||||||
- `challenge-002`: November 2025
|
|
||||||
- `challenge-003`: December 2025
|
|
||||||
- Increment for subsequent months.
|
|
||||||
- `archive`: (Optional) Use this tag when the challenge is no longer active.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Visibility Tags
|
|
||||||
- `hidden`: Use this tag to prevent the page from being published to the fargo3d.com website.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Example Front Matter
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
```yaml

# November 2025 Challenge: "Wait, This Was Printed? How Are There No Layer Lines?"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Challenge Overview
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Can you achieve the smoothest, most layer-line-free surface finish possible? This challenge pushes your printer tuning, slicer settings, and material knowledge to the limit. The goal is simple but difficult: create a 25mm cube with 2 walls and no top that looks so smooth, people question whether it was actually 3D printed!
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This challenge focuses on:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Surface finish quality and smoothness
|
|
||||||
- Proper printer calibration and tuning
|
|
||||||
- Optimal slicer settings for layer adhesion
|
|
||||||
- Material selection and temperature control
|
|
||||||
- The art of making layer lines disappear
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
## Challenge Rules
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Materials & Constraints
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Filament**: 3D Fuel filament (any type: PLA+, Pro PLA+, PCTG etc.)
|
|
||||||
- **Nozzle Requirement**: Must use a 0.4mm nozzle (REQUIRED)
|
|
||||||
- **Estimated Filament Usage**: Approximately 3 grams (for reference only)
|
|
||||||
- **Model Specification**:
|
|
||||||
- **Dimensions**: Exactly 25mm × 25mm × 25mm cube (REQUIRED)
|
|
||||||
- **Wall Count**: Exactly 2 walls (no more, no less) (REQUIRED)
|
|
||||||
- **Top Layers**: 0 (no top surface)
|
|
||||||
- **Bottom Layers**: Standard (as needed for proper adhesion)
|
|
||||||
- **Infill**: 0% (hollow interior)
|
|
||||||
- **Print Mode**: Standard FDM/FFF printing (no resin printing)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Competition Categories
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Smoothest Surface**: Best overall surface finish with minimal visible layer lines straight off the printer
|
|
||||||
- **No post-processing allowed** - cubes must be judged as-printed
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Judging Criteria

## Model Creation Instructions
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Using the Provided Model
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Download the pre-configured cube:**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **File Location**: [Challenge Files/November2025/Cube.3mf](../../Challenge%20Files/November2025/Cube.3mf)
|
|
||||||
- **Pre-configured**: Already set to 25mm × 25mm × 25mm with 2 walls and no top
|
|
||||||
- **Ready to slice**: Import into your slicer and adjust settings for your printer
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Creating the Cube Model from Scratch
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Using Bambu Studio
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Step 1: Add Primitive**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Open Bambu Studio to a new project
|
|
||||||
2. Right-click on the build plate
|
|
||||||
3. Select "Add Primitive"
|
|
||||||
4. Select "Cube"
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
**Step 2: Resize the Cube**
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Click to resize the cube
|
|
||||||
3. Set X to 25mm and Y and Z should also set to 25mm(If uniform scale cause issue you can uncheck)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
#### Alternative Methods
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Fusion 360**: Create square sketch (25mm × 25mm), extrude to 25mm height
|
|
||||||
- **Tinkercad**: Use cube shape, adjust dimensions to 25mm × 25mm × 25mm
|
|
||||||
- **FreeCAD**: Create cube with specified dimensions
|
|
||||||
- **Any CAD Software**: Simple cube 25mm × 25mm × 25mm
|
|
||||||
- **Use provided file**: Open `Challenge Files/November2025/Cube.3mf` directly
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Basic Cube Setup
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Slicer Configuration
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. **Create or Download Model**:
|
|
||||||
- Use the provided `Challenge Files/November2025/Cube.3mf` file
|
|
||||||
- Or create using any CAD software (25mm × 25mm × 25mm cube)
|
|
||||||
- Or use the Bambu Studio/Orca Slicer primitive steps above
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. **Slicer Settings** (Critical):
|
|
||||||
- **Dimensions**: 25mm × 25mm × 25mm
|
|
||||||
- **Wall Count/Perimeters**: 2
|
|
||||||
- **Top Layers**: 0
|
|
||||||
- **Bottom Layers**: 3-5 (as needed)
|
|
||||||
- **Infill**: 0%
|
|
||||||
- **Layer Height**: Your choice (hint: smaller = smoother, but slower)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. **Tips for Success**:
|
|
||||||
- **Lower layer heights** (0.1mm-0.12mm) help reduce visible lines
|
|
||||||
- **Slower speeds** improve surface quality
|
|
||||||
- **Temperature tuning** is critical for layer adhesion
|
|
||||||
- **Linear advance/pressure advance** can help with consistency
|
|
||||||
- **Proper cooling** prevents warping without sacrificing layer bonding
|
|
||||||
- **Material choice** matters - some filaments naturally produce smoother surfaces
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### Advanced Techniques to Consider
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Slicer Tricks**:
|
|
||||||
- Adjust line width for better wall fusion
|
|
||||||
- Experiment with different seam positions
|
|
||||||
- Use variable layer heights if supported
|
|
||||||
- Try different acceleration/jerk settings
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- **Material Selection**:
|
|
||||||
- Experiment with different 3D Fuel filament types
|
|
||||||
- Colors can also give different appearance levels
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
### What NOT to Do
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Do not exceed 2 walls
|
|
||||||
- Do not add a top surface
|
|
||||||
- Do not deviate from 25mm cube dimensions
|
|
||||||
- **No post-processing allowed** (no sanding, heat treatment, chemical smoothing, etc.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Good luck creating the smoothest cube possible! May your layer lines vanish into nothingness!
