I recently bought a “Creality3D CR - 10” 3D Printer and I have been trying to print using different filaments, however every time I print I get some unpleasant results.
I have been trying to search on-line for what I have been doing wrong and I have improved a bit, however I haven’t been able to produce clean prints.
In my latest attempt, I tried to print a step extrusion test block,
Could anyone please have a look at my resulting print and let me know how I can improve the results.
Just my 2 cents worth, don’t try different types of filaments. Use only one filament with your slicer and dial in the correct settings. When you get it right then try another filament.
Look on line for good starting points for your set up.
Join a CR-10 forum where you can ask questions to people that have CR-10’s. Let them know what slicer and design software you are using.
Just posting images and asking whats wrong just leaves too many variables.
Looks like under extrusion. Could be a lot of factors but as I’m not familiar with the CR-10 I’m not sure what issues it is prone to. So let’s work backwards. Assuming there is nothing mechanically wrong with your printer what slicer are you using, what are your print settings, and what type of filament?
@Jeff_Parish I’m using CraftWare 1.14 beta version, I will try to post a screenshot of the settings so you can have a look at them. and I am using the a PETG filament 1.75 mm. missing/deleted image from Google+
@Ali_Al-Mozainy For under extrusion you want to lower the filament diameter, not the extrusion rate. Lowering the extrusion rate will make it worse. A smaller filament diameter tells the slicer to push out more filament. Try setting it to 1.70. A higher extrusion rate will tell it to do the same thing.
Try slowing down your print speed to 40 -45mm/sec. PETG is stringy.
Set your top and bottom thickness to at least 4 times your printing layer height.
Print a set of these calibration clips. They will give you a good idea of how your filament is performing thermally.
