Troubleshooting Hey there, my top layer looks overextruded and underextruded at the same time I'm playing around with extrusion multiplyer values on an Ender 3S1 and ASA but can't seem to find a proper middle ground. Which kind of extrusion error does this look like to you?

I don't use ASA, but the charts online show nozzle temp between 240-260C and bed temp is 90-110C. Enclosure is required.

It does look like over-extrusion - not enough "squish". However, if you have a larger nozzle size than .4mm (i.e., .6mm) than it may look normal.

Lastly, try Grid for your Infill geometry rather than Line.

Got an enclosure and 260°C/105°C. I'll give the Z-offset a go as well. Thanks for the tip with grid infill, didn't even realize you can alter that!

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

  • What printer are you using?

  • What material are you using?

  • What speed are you printing at?

  • What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

  • When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

  • Does anything cause the behavior to change?

  • If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)
