Sascha, cool project. Definitely frustrating when long prints fail! The layer skips almost look like nozzle clogs, have you had any issues with extruder skipping? Might be worth cleaning the nozzle. I don’t see any bleeding in the photo, but certainly clogs/skipping would also offset the material position and bleed color. If you can rule out skipping, have you successfully printed the calibration key-chain?

Adding screenshots @aordono Horizontal gap from part set to a whopping 3mm, standard support material is still directly against object body and will definitely weld to the part: Interface Density set to Auto: Interface Density set to 100%: Interface Density set to 50%: So I concur with your assessment on interface density, it looks like the % value entered is divided by two or something, and only Auto gets it ‘right’. Minor complaint, but this took an absurd amount of time to compile these screenshots due to the slicing time. I’m definitely looking to move to P2PP until Canvas can resolve slicing bugs, rendering bugs, and export faster to make it practical to iterate settings like this.

Canvas has “setups” that you have to configure with your printer and pallet profile, I’m wondering if Canvas is only exporting G-code because it doesn’t know what pallet to generate code for

Seconded, while its a minor inconvenience in the scheme of things, I would absolutely advocate for this basic feature to avoid having to rearrange my spool inputs every time I want to tune splices. And even to avoid having to swap input between the same spools. As the splice tuning guide says, for different materials there may be different tune values depending upon which way the splice is being performed. Selecting a From drive and a To drive would help simplify the process

Good to hear you've got some prints through the machine! Definitely looks over-extruded in the text, but the white portion of course looks fine. A few questions- How thick is the print? How deep is the lettering? Do you have ironing on? There are settings overrides per-material, but I'm not sure that's the right string to pull.

Agreed with all above, the P3P is a capable device, but it is lacking the interface tools that would really let this device shine in the hands of people willing to invest the time to integrate into their setup.

I’ve used this in the past, not for Canvas hub specifically however: https://www.linksys.com/sg/networking-accessories/linksys-usb3gig-usb-3-0-gigabit-ethernet-adapter/p/p-usb3gig/ Cheers, -Guy

Currently there are no material settings for “custom print modes” on P3 or P3 pro, the splice setting default is 0, 0, 0. The last I read implied material settings would be added sometime in January, I would love for staff to clarify this estimate.

Definitely, multi-spool mode has only just been added (albeit limited to PLA with no material settings), and basic run-out detection is still missing to my understanding. This is definitely an advertised feature that makes me consider the P3 and P3P to be an undelivered product at best, false advertising at worst. Getting an understanding of software development plans has been pulling teeth at the best of times.

I’ve managed to print a 30mm sphere on my Voron 2.4 with black KVP ABS and KVP 3DSolve supports! After a quick soak and a quick pass with a toothbrush, I’m very happy with the results! Just ignore the micro-plastics I’m sure I washed down the sink… Currently my splice settings between ABS and 3DSolve are 8,4,0 Settings: https://share.canvas3d.io/projects/8038a... Surface finish leaves something to be desired and I’ll crack that up to the slicer behavior, but I’ve seen worse from professional printers. Feel free to comment on this post with any suggestions.

I’ve had luck on the P3 Pro with:

KVP ABS <-> KVP ABS with 8, 3, -2

KVP ABS <-> KVP 3DSolve with 8, 4, 0

Is there a place to collect and share user splice values?
