...Sometimes it is called walls instead of perimeters. I'm not sure about line width, it could be the same thing. Change it to 1mm and check the slicer output. You'll be able to see if it is doing multiple perimeters. Which slicer do you use?...
Paul, what slicer are you using? Ideally, you should have separate control over speed, layer height, infill density, etc, rather than using a pre-set mode that may be overkill in some areas.This is not a complicated part, 0.20mm layers should be fine. Most of the structures are pretty thin, I doubt you'll see much time savings from using less than 100% infill, so personally I'd stay there. Print speed depends on what your printer and filament can handle before prints start getting "ugly" or "sloppy" looking -- I use 25 - 30 mm/s for clean looking petg prints. By using the 0.10mm layers, you essentially doubled print time vs.using 0.20mm layers, that's why it took as long as it did. No harm though, it should look great, work fine, and may be a bit stronger for the extra time spent.
I'm using Cura 5.3. I did change the layers to 0.2mm and changed the in-fill to 25%. So far, so good! I guess we'll see how strong it is when it's finished, hopefully, it won't blow the end out of it!
Thanks Bob! Yep, took it out last night after installing it and shot a couple shots into the woods behind the house. The only sound was the tap of the hammeer on the valve poppet! I had to check the fill pressure because it sounded so weak, but no, it had a full 250 BAR filll! I then shot a couple rounds at my target, the pellet hitting the backstop was way louder than any sound coming from the gun! It's scary how quiet it is now... The perfect stealthy pest carbine!
From Notos, to No-tones
YOURS is broken too? Those backstops just keep getting LOUDER and LOUDER!
100% infill is a big time killer. I very rarely use it. For increased strength it's more effective to add perimeters rather than infill. For this print I used my standard settings, 0.2mm layers, 3 perimeters, 20% infill, 0.4mm nozzle. The outer wall will be solid on this print with these settings. I used the same settings on the moderator for my Raptor which outputs 3x the power of the Notos.

Okay guys, I know most of this thread has been about making the notos quieter but can the LDC be removed completely. I want to be able to carry it in the holster that I use to carry my 1377.
Hehe... I did the same Mike, added a single point sling connector as I do believe the Notos will get some walk about time in the fall.
Seeing the weight, power level, precision, and price of these, the Notos has caught my eye as the backyard plinker I've been looking for...well...I'd prefer .177 -- so that mod may happen if I ever get one...Ordered one in late March from one of our favorite sponsors -- out of stock but the ETA was about a month...fair enough...Been watching the ETA go up and down, mostly down...until today. Wondering if I'll get one soon, or be twiddling my thumbs two more months
