I have experimented with printing Semaphore lenses in clear/transparent PLA. Here are my notes on the process.
Printer settings
The video "How to create transparent 3D prints!" provided wonderful help for adjusting printer settings for successfully making lenses.
I made the following changes in Cura to make the lenses much more transparent. With the default settings the lenses were cloudy white.
- "Infill Density": 100%
- 15% over extrusion (115%)
- "Printing Temperature": 200C
- "Printing Temperature Initial Layer": 200C
- "Initial Printing Temperature": 190C
- "Final Printing Temperature": 195C
