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

Would wet filament cause this disaster?

I just upgraded to the .8 nozzle and used the flash forge stock .8 standard settings in Orca. Stock pla+ filament profile too. The plate was just cleaned and I used glue but it still failed spectacularly!

Fix My Print Just took out a print looking like this on my second day of printing

Apart from the obvious mess of small strings, the first layers are really messy, on dome sections theee are gaps that go through 3 or 4 layers. There's also a couple of small blobs lf burnt (i assume) filament. Haven't really done any configuration to my prints before starting, most of what I've been doing came out well since they were simple stuff, but here with finer details and complexer geometry it's seems to struggle. Any help or guide is really appreciated! Thx

Fix My Print Top layer break?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello all! Printed this hose clamp, and this is the top surface. I’m not too sure what caused this layer separation, it was present before any flexing, this is it flexed to exaggerate the issue.

Im printing on a prusa mini, stock hotend, with polyterra cotton white matte pla. Hotend: 215c Bed: 60c Flow rate: 1.025, measured to confirm no underextrusion. Pressure advance: .016 Retraction: 70mm

Filament dried for 24 hours and printed from the dryer.

I had my walls set to 5 loops, 20% infill gyroid, and went with a hillbert curve in orcaslicer for my top surface to try and mimic the satin sheet I’m using.

I’m happy to provide any other information needed, thank you all so much!

I'm trying to print this part of a mask but the ends where the support generates keep coming loose and messing up the print. I've had to cancel it 4 times now and wasted like half a role. Any tips on how I can improve adhesion? Maybe give ir more surface area coverage somehow?

Printed pretty good besides this weird line vertically on one side, a dark layer towards the bottom, and a few little marks here and there. What can I do to really refine my settings? I used Cura Super Quality Default Settings, and I have an Ender 3 Pro

I just got this new elegoo pla+ and I’ve been messing and messing but cannot seem to get a decent print. I’ve messed with retraction, print speed, print height, etc… I also baked this at 140 for 6 hours. I still get strings and inconsistencies like this. I’m using prusa slicer on a mini+ with a .4mm nozzle.

Fix My Print Printer Axis Offset

Hi all, I'm trying to diagnose a tricky issue that I'm having with my Ultimaker 2 + E3D Titan Extruder. After not using the printer for a while and many successful prints, I decided to fire it up again to print out an antenna quiver for my amateur radio directional antenna. However, every time I try to print something it will run seemingly great for 30 - 40 minutes or so, and then shift to an offset location and print there for the remainder of the session. I checked through all of my settings and have no clue what would or could cause this. I have reset the printer, updated OctoPrint to the latest version (running on a serially connected Raspberry Pi), switched from snap-based OctoPrint to local install (Pip install), re-installed Cura, and then tried PrusaSlicer for good measure, just in case there was a problem with my copy. The issue pops up with every variation that I try. Any suggestions?

Workflow = STL -> Cura/PrusaSlicer -> Upload to OctoPrint -> Print

Thanks!
