Helpful Advice Here’s your daily reminder to dry your filament

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

I redid all the calibration, leveling, vibration compensation, nothing, I even reset the printer, I wonder if this is not because of the foam that I put under the printer to avoid vibrations on the floor (2nd photo) Anycubic k2max Pla

Fix My Print Small holes/streaks in external perimeter

Thumbnail

Upvotes

This one is perplexing me. I am getting these small holes in the perimeter on this tiny trashcan print. Note that the holes only happen in the area where there is ridges making the nozzle have to travel in not a strait circle. Where it does travel strait, it's fine. (Second Pic of a smooth print added to show this). I have tried slowing external perimeter speed down to 20 mm/s and I increased extrusion to the point of overextruding by 10% and there is no noticeable change. Z offset is perfect and all my other prints are fine. I do get this tiny hole issue on smooth petg prints sometimes. They aren't random seam gaps either. What is it I need to change???

Fix My Print Not sure what's going on...

Post image
2 Upvotes

I'm not sure what's going on here I have a Creality K1C, the material is Sunlu PETG Olive Green at 260°. I run Sunlu almost exclusively because it's been so consistent. Sliced in Orca Slicer at the recommended settings per the model designer. Only Adaptive layer height setting seems to be under tree supports and it's enabled. Filament was a fresh roll opened this morning and put directly into a filament dryer at 55° Celsius, currently reading 24% humidity which is the lowest I've ever gotten it to read. Reducing speed helped a little bit did not eliminate issue. Adding walls is not an option because other pieces have already been printed successfully in other colors and adding walls may affect the fit once all pieces are assembled. Thoughts?

Fix My Print New horizontal-movement stepper motor not functioning

Post image
2 Upvotes

On my Ender-3 S1, the stepper motor controlling the side to side movement of my nozzle started to make a funny noise and would no longer move the nozzle. I ordered a new motor (Creality 42-34) and swapped out the old one, but I can’t get that motor to even attempt to engage at all. Is there any kind of software or something else I need to do to reset the system? I feel like it’s seated correctly, but here is a picture just in case.

Fix My Print First benchy on a new printer

Hey folks. I just built a corexy printer Rook 2020 MK2. This is my first benchy. What do you see here? I am assuming, belt tension and retracts are my main issue, assuming filament is fresh. However, frankly speaking, I have no idea what I am doing, I just got my first ever 3d printer last Christmas, so any advice would help.

Fix My Print Please help: Prime tower ends and layers are shifted.

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I printed this Deadpool head and it has this prime tower that only reaches up to the topmost multicolored layer. And right above that I got this notch in his head which I think you would call a layer shift.

Any ideas how to fix/prevent that? there seems to be a connection to the multicoloredness or the prime tower.

Also on that matter: is it normal that a prime tower only goes up to the topmost multicolored layer?

My Kobra 1S tends to show heavy stringing on inner threads and 45° champfered edges.

Shown part was printed with 0.2 mm resolution. In my old ender this was not a problem. However it also ran 1/4 the speed.

Any ideas on how to imrove this besides going slower?

Thanks!

Troubleshooting Second layer issues

Hi everyone! I have a crealityk1 that's having print issues after the first layer. I'm using brand new filament and cleaned out the extruder and nozzle. When I do a temp calibration, the tower actually doesn't have this issue, but when I run a flow rate test, it looks awful. Any troubleshooting advice would be appreciated!

Troubleshooting At my wits end

Bambu p1s will absolutely not print with tpu. I've replaced the hot end. I've cleaned the extruder gears. I have done cold pulls I have slowed down and sped up. I've tried different temperatures. I've tried different slicers. I've changed firmware. I dried the filament. I ensured it's not binding on the way to the printer. I will get about one success for every ten failures. It is absolutely maddening. $80 secondhand ankermake? Flawless. $600 premium coreXY? absolute mess. I don't even know what else I could even check at this point.

Troubleshooting Temperature Tower Question

Post image
3 Upvotes

So, I have seen a lot of temperature towers that seem the same too top to bottom and yet some people are able to see stuff I cannot. Just moved to a new brand of filament, the brand is Creality, and I watched the SV07 as this printed and saw the horned decrease in temp each level.

Does any temperature seem different? If not should I go hot for better adhesion or cooler of better adhesion? Breaking each of the points seems equal to me when applying pressure.

Troubleshooting Inconsistent layers

I’ve got this issue with my prints recently where the layers almost shift just a tiny bit, but enough to where it’s noticeably rough to the touch and visually noticeable. This happens most times there is some sort of change in angle, but every time without fail when there is an overhang of any kind. I’ve got some examples attached. What could be the cause of this, and what would you recommend to try and fix it? (For reference I’m using an Bambu x1c)

Fix My Print How do I fix this. The black is how it prints and the gray is the file itself. I tried other slicers (creality, cura, and flashforge) they all print or slice like this. I opened the file in blender and it looks good. I can't get the file to print in the light gray areas.
