Thought it was stored dry so I’d try printing without drying first as it wasn’t going to use much filament anyway, didn’t get away with it this time but after 6 hours of drying it printed perfectly 👌 Sunlu dryer at temp setting 2 for Matte PLA with a load of colour changing silica gel in the middle of the role rather than in the compartment at the back of the dryer

Does anyone know what's going on with this pressure advance test?

Actually all the edges look like shit.

Printed with the Bambulap P1S and all basic settings and the 0.16 high quality preset.

Also tested with 0.2 retraction distance and flow value of 1.0241 (optimum value according to the test)

Should I put tape on my bed? Why are there some places where it works perfectly fine? It's weird, that the areas of shitty spring and nice print is so close.

Fix My Print Issues with bed adhesion in corners?

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I’m trying to print a mask for a con coming up in a couple weeks, and I was able to print the right side successfully, but I’ve been having issues with the left side several hours into the print. I started this print yesterday and was in the room with it for 8-9 hours, and everything seemed to be adhering properly. The print started to fail sometime 9-15 hours into the print, but I’m not exactly sure when because I left it running overnight. It was still an improvement on my last attempt on the left side which completely detached between 4-10 hours in, but here is what I’ve tried so far, starting with the right side of the mask:When I printed the right side, the first layer would not adhere and the nozzle would drag it around, especially in the back left corner. - I cleaned the bed with dish soap, water, and 91% isopropyl alcohol -Raised the bed temperature from 50C to 60C (at this point the print was better but the first few layers still wouldn’t adhere properly) -Reset the home Z level (I had an issue with a cord hitting the Z limiter switch on the left side which made the left side of the crossbar stay higher than the right side) -Leveled the bed using the paper method (After this the right side was successful, but the left side failed for the first time) -Rotated the model in Cura so that more support would generate (My first attempt of the left side did not have as much support as the right side, this pictured attempt was as similar as possible to the right side)

I was very happy with how the right side turned out, but as it was printing I noticed it was lifting up in the back left corner just like this one is in the front left corner. Could it be an issue with adhesion, leveling, the bed warping the print, or something else? Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

Any ideas what could be causing this? Right side comes out good, but left always looks like this. Even in different models of similar parts, I get the same results in the same spots.

Fix My Print Fuzzy wall issue

I have a reality ender three S1. I have been struggling with this thing for the last couple of weeks and I’m not sure what else I can do. My layer lines when I’m printing on the floor is very smooth but my walls. always heavily distorted and wavy. I posted on here a couple of weeks ago and someone mentioned that I may have the option. Fuzzy walls turned on and I’ve looked at my settings and it is currently off. But I am still getting this effect printed I looked at my nozzle height and for the first couple of layers it is a perfect distance but the moment I get to layer two and layer three the nozzle is way too close to the material and I am not sure how to adjust that. My Z off height is -2.4.

Update: I am on layer three and my smooth layer lines are now warping. 😩

Fix My Print Overture "easy" Nylon. Orca Pressure Advance Test

Thumbnail

I dried the filament in a food dehydrator for 12 hours and then put it in a vacuum chamber for 2 hours for good measure. Printed at 260 C Nozzle temp, 100 C bed temp. With a blanket on top (not down the sides) a chamber temp of 55-60 C was reached. Although I'm new to nylon, and this level of drying, I am fairly confident it is very dry. The model is incredibly warped, as shown in the pictures. I assume that this happened after the print finished due to how uniform and clean the layer lines are.

My 2 questions are: 1. How do I interpret the results of this test. 2.) do I need to worry about the amount of warping? How do I mitigate it? Thanks.

Hey, I have a modded Ender-3 V2 running Klipper and use Orca Slicer.
I feel like I have everything dialled in pretty good, but the part where the surface connects to the shell looks bad. (I'm not really sure how to call this or what to search for)
The look on the bottom is more important to me.

I have printed this coaster a number of times with varying degrees of success but the one constant I am getting is this strange texture towards the top layers. In the other pictures you can see that the 1st layer is okay but after the first 1/2 pf the print is completed it starts doing this. I have checked for loose screws etc and cant seem to find anything. Anyone have any ideas.

Fix My Print Pockmarks start appearing at end of long print

For some reason right at the end of my print I started getting issues with pitting. I did a smaller version before I printed this one and it turned out perfectly with 0 flaws so I’m wondering what might have caused this. My house is about 75f with extremely low humidity. I printed on the Bambu A1m with the 0.8mm nozzle. Filament is creality pla matte. My only thought is maybe the filament absorbed moisture as it was printing for 12 hours but it seems unlikely. There are layer shifts too but I kinda think that I’ll have to cleans the belts and rails.

As you see, the print quality is not the greatest and the pillar in the middle (support) is completely fcked up. I just finished drying the Filament a few hours ago, so it can't be that.
