It has better characteristics than I expected. Accidentally I found black powder for powder coating on Ebay. So I've been searching for an other material.

The sugar clumps into small drops (see pictures) und doesn't create an flat surface. I mix the powder sugar with some carbon powder, but I had no success. So I searched for untypical Materials, which can be sintered, like powder sugar. The Material would costs more than my complete printer. If I would fill my buildvolume of 8x8x8cm with PA12. Normaly SLS-3D-Printers printing with Nylon Powder like PA12 which is very expensive. = comments, to understand the custom Gcode)įor the other configurations, please download my slicer config file: G201 P0 X0 // move extra Motor for the powder pusher to 0mm G201 P0 X300 // move extra Motor for the powder pusher to 300mm G202 P0 X0 // move extra Motor for the powder pusher to 0mm G204 P0 S0 // disable extra Motor for the powder pusher M3 S50 // acctivates the Laser with a power of 50 from 255

Then you go to ->Printer Settings-> Custom G-code: You need to open the Slic3r configuration.

Slicer is allready included in Repetierhost, so you don't need to download slic3r as a standalone programm. I'am using Slic3r to generate the Gcode, because it has some features like custom Gcode on layer change, which is very important for my DIY SLS 3D-Printer, because I need an custom Gcode for the powder pusher.
