Milo V2 - Printing guide
Note
Values below match the official MiloV2-Manual.pdf (Introduction). Use the PDF for full context and diagrams.
Layer height and nozzle
Unless you are willing to experiment (and likely waste filament), use 0.2 mm layers. Thicker layers make overhangs on several parts significantly harder.
Minimum wall thickness values in the repository assume a 0.4 mm nozzle. If you use a different nozzle diameter, recalculate wall counts.
File naming
- Accent colour: filenames prefixed with
[a]are intended for your accent filament. - Quantity: if a filename ends with
x#(for examplex8), that is how many copies you need of that part for one machine.
Heat-set inserts
Parts that take M3 heat-set inserts are provided in variants for CNC-Kitchen-style inserts and Voron-style inserts. Print the STLs that match the inserts you purchased.
| CNC-Kitchen style | Voron style | |
|---|---|---|
| Reference depth / callout (mm) | 4.600 | 5 |
Structural profiles (from manual)
| Parameter | Structural (S) | Semi structural (SS) | Aesthetic (A) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profile code | S | SS | A |
| Infill density [%] | 45 | 25 | 20 |
| Wall count | 6 | 4 | 3 |
| Top/bottom layers | 6 | 5 | 5 |
| Nozzle size [mm] | 0.4 | 0.4 | 0.4 |
Lead- and ballscrew tradeoffs are explained in the same PDF (Introduction). TR8×8 leadscrews are the recommended default; SFK0802 ballscrews need much higher motor RPM for the same feed rate.
For hole finishing and other practical tips, the Milo 1.5 printing guide is still a useful reference for techniques (drilling holes, skirts, etc.) even where part names differ.
