I decided to make a benchy with the printer I use at work. It came out decent but you could tell the temp was a little too high as there was a little bit of drooping. However, some of you probably remember the post I recently made about the blobs on my print and how increasing the temp from 200c to 205c helped to get rid of them. So now I seem to been in this crappy spot between blobs and drooping… Could be worse though and overall the print was pretty good.
over temperature and over extrusion
@ekaggrat_singh_kalsi why do you think over extrusion? Like what are you looking at that makes you think it’s over extruding?
What brand of filament
It looks like to me your z steps are a little to far apart have you calibrated them
The lines look really round which indicates probably to much of a gap between layers then you could up the heat or cut back on the extrusion multiplier a little
@michael_hughes This is mechanical issue. Layers position constantly changing x-y direction.
but this is a very small model, so the picture seems to be exaggerated in the picture
Decrease layer height and add cooling fan
@ekaggrat_singh_kalsi Temperature seems fine or the chimney would be distorted. The top surfaces on the roof don’t look overstuffed so we can rule out overextrusion.
I’d agree with @Jakab_Gipsz , this seems like a rigidity issue. What model printer is this?
@michael_hughes it’s eSun PLA+.
@michael_hughes well it’s set to .2mm layer height. I could set it to be smaller but I’m not THAT concerned about it.
@Adam_Steinmark I think it’s an ultimaker 2+ extended? It’s the printer I use at work so I didn’t pick the thing out.
That’s somewhat surprising because Ultimaker is known for it’s quality. We’ve got a UM3 at work which uses essentially the same construction and it prints absolutely beautifully, sometimes even better than the Fortus. That’s not to say it can’t have issues, in Thomas Sanladerer’s video about RichRap’s MasterSpool a rod completely came out of his Ultimaker. I’d recommend giving everything a tighten with an allen key then try another Benchy and checking to make sure that none of the injection molded parts are cracking.
@Adam_Steinmark ok, I’ll give it a once over.
check the hobb screw and the tightness of the nozzle… my mistake i think if the printer and filament are good then it has to be a mechanical issue or the layer height more than 80% of nozzle diameter. the layer finish gives a look of over extrusion but it is more likely something loose.
@Kevin_Danger_Powers hello am new here single looking serious man here
@Rejoyce_Akpalu fuck off…
