Hi all. I've been struggling with this print. I've had fair print and poor ones like this but have never had a great print. If someone could offer advice, I would really appreciate it.

Here are some of the things I've tried on my Bambu P1S, but at this point I am good to start over. Inside house door open, inside house door closed, AMS riser with top open, heavy cooling (aux set to 100), extra supports, 0.2mm slices, 0.08 slices, etc.

• Printer & Slicer - Bambu P1S using Bambu slicer
• Environment - Printer in somewhat heated garage (set to 68 degrees)
• Filament Material and Brand - Bambu jade white
• Nozzle and Bed Temperature - 220/55c also tried 220/65c
• Print Speed - Regular bambu settings with all overhang speeds set to 10mm/s
• Nozzle Retraction Settings - Regular bambu settings with no overrides other than long retraction when cut (18mm)

Again would appreciate any advice. Thanks!

Hi!

First of all, I'm quite noob to 3D Printing, so sorry if this problem has an obvious answer I'm missing.

I am using a Creality Ender V3 SE with a 0.6mm nozzle, printing from Creality View. The filament is PLA, a textured filament from Winkle (PLA HD Texture Marble, to be specific). Nozzle temp is 210ºC, bed is 60ºC. Print speed is 30 mm/s first layer, 60 mm/s outer wall and 90 mm/s inner wall (which are the defaults). I don't know how to get the retraction settings :(. I tried the "0.20mm standard" and "0.16mm optimal" settings from Creality View, so whatever the default retraction setting is, I guess.

I'm trying to print and inset for a board game, but I stopped it after the first one or two layers because it is not going well. These are 3 different attempts, varying the bed temp (from 50 to 60) and quality (from "0.20mm standard" to "0.16mm optimal", which tweaks lots of things, not only the layer height). The models is meant to be flat.

How can I fix it?

Tried to do a benchy print and go 85% done and then it got pushed by the 3D printer and unstuck itself from the bed and started moving. I paused the print and tried again and didn’t work so I cancelled the print. I think it could be a filament or flow rate issue but just trying out the printer. Any ideas? I have a creality cr-6 se

Anyone got any input what causes these gaps in the perimeter? I tried different temp flow and speeds but I can’t get rid of them.

Is this a pressure advanced issue or something else?

I have noticed that the filament gets pulled up by the extruder on the first layer when it moves onto the next part, but the layer itself appears to be ok.

Any suggestions as to what may be causing it.

Polyterra matte pla with 220/65 temp going slowly on first layer

I don't have any pictures of the issue yet since I'm away from home, but I have a hugely modded Ender 3 (which I am very proud of :D) with a Winsinn 5015 hydraulic fan.

However, I've keep having issues with that fan, where the wire keeps breaking off the solder pads (pads are still in tact, thankfully). I have to keep resoldering every time it comes off (about every 3 day-long prints?), and sometimes I have to restart long prints when it inevitable falls off.

Is this a common issue with the wires on these cheaper fans? And if I have some 24 AWG flexible wire that's more durable, could I just solder them in between the wire & the fan?

This is the second attempt at this very model, during the first try it whisked away that wobbly support bit on the left completely. So I increased temp from 230 °C and lowered speeds (details below). This time it's doing better, but the support still has come off the print and wobbles as it lays down new layers. And as I'm writing this, the support has been pushed away fully now, so the top will be buggered.

So far I've figured out that PETG should be slightly under-extruded, at 90%? Perhaps that would solve the blob on the nozzle too? But would this be enough to save the support too, or is there anything else I should look at?

• Ender 3 V3 SE
• Creality CR-PETG
• Cura
• 75 °C / 240 °C / 20 % fan
• 0.15 mm height, 20% gyroid
• Speeds:
  • Outer wall 30 mm/s
  • Inner wall 60 mm/s
  • Infill 60 mm/s
  • Support 30 mm/s
• Retraction 4 mm @ 25 mm/s

Hey everyone; After returning to printing after a while; I'm having some trouble with over extrusion at the start of outer walls. When the outer wall starts a large blob is placed, that is being followed by a tiny bit over extrusion. I verified this by matching the outer wall starts with the zits/blobs. I have tried retraction values of 3mm, 6.5mm and 10mm. The results (I dont know the order of them) can be seen below. At the same time this little bit of stringing is interesting as well, since there are no travel moves through the air.

The models are printed out of a fresh spool of eSun ABS+ on an enclosed ender 3 with a BMG extruder and a skr mini e3 1.2. I just callibrated E-steps / mm. They are printed without build plater adhesion or supports. Printed at 240 degrees / 100 degrees.

I hope one of you can give me some tips that wil guide me to the answer on how to fix this :)

Hey guys im here again, after changing the gear, the extruder, the nozzle, the ptfe tube, the printer still is clogged, idk what is happening now...

but the filament is getting stuck beetwen the tube and the nozzle, sending some pictures...

I've come across this issue with my first layer for the first time today. I've had this material before (exact same Brand and Type) and didnt encounter that much of an issue (some issues nonetheless). Is the Quality maybe just bad in this spool or are there any settings i can adjust. I've always been using pretty much default setting in creality print aside from Infill, Supports etc., haven't really played around with speed settings.

First layer almost sticks but not quite. Help?

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing consistent warping issues with my 3D prints, and I’d really appreciate your advice. I’ve attached a photo of the problem for reference.

For calibration, I’m using the Calicat model, but I’m still struggling to fix this issue.

Here’s some context about my setup:

• Printer model: Ender 3 V3 SE
• Filament type: PLA
• Bed temperature: 60 C
• Nozzle temperature: 195 C
• Build surface: PEI
• Creality Print v 5.1.6
• Printer firmware v 1.0.6

I’ve tried:

• Using a brim to improve bed adhesion, but the warping still persists.

Attempted to print an mmdvm case and this came out. Overall looks good, but the screw hole in the corner looks funny and some of the sides look wavy??

(i dont know what I should watch on this so I dont know if this is a good pic)

Hi! I'm quite new to 3d printing, but I've tweaked a bit with different types of filament, speed, temperature, layer height and such. The thing is, lately my prints that I've set to my "detailed" slicing preset are getting horizontal lines exactly at the same height. Tried it with the "low detail" preset and still, same lines, same height on every print.

I've noticed something must have happened because of a specific situation: I've printed some ring the other day, came out fine, but was a little too small. Fast foward a few days, decided to print it bigger. Same project, same settings, same everything, just bigger. But this time it came out with those lines.

My Z-axis screw hasn't been touched or suffered any weight stress. Same filament too. Tried re-leveling the printer, building a new mesh, still persists. I'm wondering what could be causing that and would like some opinions on it.

I'm also quite new to reddit and idk how to post images and text at the same time lol so I'll just upload it on imgur:

Ender 3 V2 Neo, ABS filament, Cura slicer.

Hello! I'm new to 3d printing and I have a few problems with my prints that I struggle to fix. One of those is presented on the pictures. Shows like a lil bulge but not often (every third string/row) or sometimes a hole in the prints.
I'm using Ender 3 s1 Pro with OrcaSlicer
Filament is SunLu White Silk PLA
Nozzle temp 230 and Bed temp 70 for the first layer, rest layers are on 225/65
Speeds are: first layer 35
first layer infill 50
outer wall 35
inner wall 100
sparse infill 80
internal solid infill 80
top surface 45
gap infill 45
support 40
Retraction length 0.8 and its speed 30mm/s

My initial thoughts are either filament is not dry enough or temp too hot? Any silk pla enthusiasts in the chat ? :D
Thanks in advance!

I started this print a day and a half ago and whenever I went back to it to clear out the purge from the multicolor, I noticed these super thick and random patches of filament sticking out of the model. I’ve printed at least 10 of these before with this exact same filament and I’ve never seen this before.

It is on a bambu lab X1 carbon that I just replaced the extruder gears and run out sensor on, the run out sensor that it came with was messing up after Being used for so long so I just replaced the whole set and now I’m getting these weird patches. I printed the ears the jaw and a bunch of other stuff with it so far and none of them have had this issue so I don’t know what could be causing it.

The multicolor starts where the gray does on the print and as you can see most of the damage is before that so it’s not from material system. I can give better pictures tomorrow when it’s done. It’s done in PLA plus

I tried giving as much information as I can, but if I missed anything, just let me know
