1:24 Wicker Furniture Set
Description
If I were to tackle this set again, I'd reduce the depth of the seats, reduce the curvature in the front legs, and take a second look at the angle of the arms. The finish in the arms is a little loose in this print due to overhangs that are a too severe. I had some print defects in these prints, but overall am pretty happy with how they came out.
Instructions
I use skeinforge 47, with restart extra distance set to 0, on my replicator with an otherwise stock profile. I have better luck with acceleration off. Bridges could use some tuning - you can see some drooping in these prints.
Source files in the zip are (messy, messy) DWGs.

Amazing work. I have only use Slic3r. Not sure if I could
get the bridging to run along the axis of the wicker supports. Do you mind
sharing what extruder diameter and material you used?
Wonderful design and execution. I really like that you design these things to not require support!
If you don't mind me asking, which design software do you use?
I am way too impatient for support :)
I use autocad - simply because I've been using it for a decade for other purposes and own a copy. I'd eventually like to master a mesh based program, but for the time being, when I need to do a design quickly AutoCAD is the go to.
Um, OK. Wow.
I like how the pattern left by the printing process looks like a weave on the cushion. The medium and the process have become part of the art.
Lovely prints. Great work.
Just fantastic, your designs will be the standard for a very long time.

Hi there PrettySmallThings, I was wondering what kind of speed settings you are using to print this, also when I printed this the legs of the chairs came out really thin, how wide are they on your prints?
Im asking cause im wondering if there is a problem with my slicing software.
Good work and thank you.
The smallest diameters in this design are .85 or .9mm, and I'd bet the chair legs are 2.5mm-3mm. I think I originally I used my replicators defaults of 45mm/s speed and 55mm/s for travel. I've also printed it accelerated with sailfish since then - set to 80mm/s, but I doubt I'm reaching those speeds.
Real problem with the design is the towering tiny diameters - if your retraction settings aren't spot on, the design won't reproduce well.
