Direct3D EZ45
45° printing with Cartesian printers
Hardware requirements
- Nozzle tip installed at 45 °
Slicing
Position your part flat on the print bed. Use PrusaSlicer’s “Place on face ” or similar tools to ensure proper alignment.
Rotate the model 45° around the X-axis.
Slice the model using your usual settings, except for those specified in the section below.
Slicer setting (PrusaSlicer)
- Supports: Disabled
- Layers and perimeters, Detect bridging perimeters = Disabled
- Skirt, Loops = 0
- Advanced, Elephant foot comp. = 0 (recommended)
G-code must include the following
At the beginning of the file:
; external perimeters extrusion width = <width>mm
Example:
; external perimeters extrusion width = 0.80mm- Before each layer:
;Z:<layer z>
;HEIGHT:<layer height>
Example:
;Z:1.2
;HEIGHT:0.3 End G-code:
No Y-axis moves
These requirements are automatically handled by PrusaSlicer.

M808 implementation
At the start of your Custom End G-code (and nowhere else), include:

Example:
M808 ; 50- In the generated G-code, at the beginning of the last layer, the following must appear:
M808 L <number of repetitions>
