Hi guys! I just joined the group and I already need you guys help on something. I recently printed one of the pieces for the Ikea Lack table enclosure. The part came out very weak, and has lots of cracks between the layers. This was printed at .3 mm layers with 15% infill on my cheap Monoprice Maker Select (generic i3) It is Hatchbox PLA and the nozzle was at 200C. Any help and advice you guys can give me would be Great! Thanks!
Still looking for some help. Is it because of my layer height of .3?
@Georg_Mill thanks, but after experimenting, I think the problem was a combination of infill, layer height, and speed. I think the .3 layer height was The main problem, but I did increase the infill too.
Is that a normal temp for MP selects? For a Prusa it’s about 10-15 degrees too cool, which would explain poor layer bonding.
0.3mm layer height with (I assume a 0.4mm nozzle is quite challenging). I’d try with 0.25 or 0.2 mm layer height - those should work much better.
