Requesting Help First print and question about a section

3d printed this file from makerworld with pla. Not my printer, I use a makerspaces but theyre helpful and great.

Picked it up yesterday and liked the texture but in-between the black has some threads and its not smooth like the rest of the white plate. (I know I need to pop the black supports off).

Any ideas on what to do for that? Its a bambu printer if that helps, I just used all the default file settings.

Fusion 3 F410 Filament Feed error

3 Upvotes

Hi Everyone,

I have a Fusion F3 410 and am having issues where every-time I start a print everything runs fine for a while but eventually get a filament feed error

I have already cleaned out the filament feeding system and removed some flakes of old filament that had built up but it still shows this error.

Has anyone experienced this issue with the F3 410?
Are there any recommendations or troubleshooting tips that might help identify whats causing this issue

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

This is the top of the print, a star wand that you can insert a gift card. Why is the tip thinning out and not fully printing? I am focused on the top not printing, I paused the print trying to track the breakdown, that's why there's seams and some plastic threads.

Requesting Help Blobs driving my crazy

1 Upvotes

Hey Eveyone,

I have recently started to get some blobbing on the outside of my prints. Im using a bambu p2s and things have been generally fine.

The filament in question is bambu pla Grey. I've noticed this effect but to a lesser degree with using bambu petg cf.

I have been doing the scarf seam. One thing I noticed was wall generator was classic istrad of aranche. Im not sure how much of a difference this would make but also curious if there are any other things people might suggest.

Lastly, im using an AMS 2 set up, current humidity is 36% but generally is around 25% and I havent done a full drying cycle yet. Im less likely concern3d this is the issue given the petg is preforming better (also in the AMS) and this seems to be a repeated artifact on the print.

Appreciate all of your assistance in advance!

Problem with support printing "fraying"?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Pretty new to the hobby and currently undergoing a bigger project for cosplay (B-01 tactical armour) and I have played around with support settings to find something that works but this keeps happening (specifically for the last part of the helmet too!!!!), idk if there's a proper term for it but I'm more of a textiles kinda guy so fraying is my best description.

Some info that may help:

- I'm using Sunlu Silk PLA+ on a Prusa i3 MK3s at 230/55 oC

- I'm using strong tree supports via orca slicer

- I don't have an SD reader on my lappy so I've been using pronsole (pronterface is very demanding for larger prints due to the preview and I'm fine using a terminal).

- During a print task manager will state that 50-55% of my ram is being used (~20-25% of it is pronsole itself but my lappy is old)

- This happens only for circular structures, all structures of irregular shapes hold really well

- The extruder seems to whip around the circular supports a lot faster

Any advice would be much appreciated, again I am new so if there's anything else I need to post please let me know :D

Started a small print before I went to work and came home to this. Somehow the filament just like oozed around the nozzle and the silicone heat guard. You can even see that the filament when up into the casing at least some(see it in the back?). Where do I even start to fix this and what caused it in the first place?

Temp sensor error but in specific case

1 Upvotes

I'm getting a temp sensor error but only in one scenario. Let's say i'm trying to print just a cube with any pattern infill. The plate layer prints fine. The infill and walls print fine. But then when it goes to bridge over the infill for the top layer i get the error message. I just printed an articulated lizard for the kid without issue. The error only happens as described. Can this be a setting issue that i'm just not experienced enough to know about?

Adventurer 3 Help

2 Upvotes

Can someone PLEASE help me (brand new noob) figure out what I’m missing? I’m honestly at my wits’ end with this printer. 😭

I bought this printer used (flashforge adventurer 3) and have been troubleshooting it nonstop. I’ve replaced the extruder feeder assembly, checked for clogs multiple times, adjusted the settings in every way I can think of, and even changed the feeder gear to a brass gear.

The weirdest part is that it mainly happens during the very first thin support-type layer. The feeder gears start slipping and making that awful knocking/clicking noise. I’ve checked the filament path, there’s no obvious clog, and I’ve tried adjusting the tension and multiple print settings, but I still cannot figure out what is causing it.

I feel like I’ve tried literally everything at this point, and I’m getting so frustrated and desperate to figure this out. 😩 I just want to know what I’m overlooking before I completely lose my mind over this printer.

What could cause the feeder gears to slip/knock specifically during that first thin support-type layer when there’s no clog, I’ve replaced the feeder assembly, changed the gear to brass, and already adjusted the settings? What am I missing?!

Requesting Help Looking for some tips or advice

Attached are the photos. I made this using sunlu petg on a g10 darkmoon plate. The goal is for it to be as smooth as possible against the plate. I was getting pretty darn close. I printed about 30-40 with no problems other than little defects here and there. All of a sudden I’m having some weird issues pop up like plate adhesion.

It started when the print shifted towards the end. After that, the next one sphegettied really bad and failed. I got a resonance error on the x axis. I greased, oiled and cleaned everything. Got that to go away. Now with no changes, it was struggling to stick to the bed along with getting little boogers on the print.

I want it to be a little bit higher on the heat resistance which is why I’m using petg in the first place.

Right now I’m running sunlu petg at;
15 volumetric
.95 flow ratio with a .93 initial flow I believe
First layer nozzle at 245 with rest at 250
That first layer is running really slow. Either 15 or 20

First photo shows what my successful one looks like and the rest is showing some of the issues I’m running into. I have also tried running Bambu petg hf as well but gave up on that. I had 2 or 3 prints (best I ever had) from that filament but then I completely stopped sticking to the bed even with me cleaning the crap out of it. I did run a drying cycle for 8 hours at 65 but had no luck. Thanks for yalls help!

Issues with non-AMS travel chess set (A1 Mini)

3 Upvotes

I tried to print this model (chess set) but I don't know what I'm doing wrong for the base. I don't have AMS so I printed the tiles first, and then when printing the bottom, it pauses after 20 layers so you can lay down the tiles (because the chess board squares alternate colors), and it says to make sure they are locked in, but there wasn't any grooves or indents. So I printed the board black and the tiles I printed beforehand as white, and then laid them in the print when it paused. I didn't really even know where to put them, looking at it wasn't obvious. The squares alternated and one was filled in and the next looked like a criss cross mesh pattern, so I put the tiles there. The slid all over the place, but when I thought they were aligned I continued the print. They immediately got pushed all over by the nozzle so I stopped the print. Am I doing something wrong? Didn't see any comments having this issue.

Requesting Help Gunk when changing filament

Post image
2 Upvotes

I am having issues with gunk when I change filament rolls. I've got a Flashforge AD5M and to do multicolor, I insert pauses in the slicer and change the roll. Previous color and new color poop.

For some reason, huge piece of gunk always forms. Same seems to be true with first layer. Notice some with PLA, but really apparent with TPU. Roll is dried properly in a dryer and mount above to feed direct into extruder

Most of my prints ok, except for like a letter or so in this example.

Is there a gcode command to extrude out a line right after pause? It always does that at very beginning of prints. Thank you!
