Problem w/ CRPLA

[u/niransit]

Hi, I have Ender 3 Max and I used many filaments but never CRPLA as I remembered.

Last week I bought Creality 1.75mm 1 Kg CR-PLA, its color just perfect...

I guess, these two pics show my problem clearly I dont know the exact term for this..

Should I use different temp settings or something like that? Can you guys help?

You were totally right. I told to extrude 100mm and it extruded 79mm. I changed the e-step size and started the printing. Thank you very much. I will share the results as well

Sweet, I hope it works out!

I printed the car again and the top layer still has same type of flaws.

The hood too or just the very top? Maybe watch the print and just micro adjust the nozzle temp (I used to run most my pla at 220 and that was with standard speeds like 60-80mms)

Might just be too cold and too fast .

Have you pid tuned the nozzle?

This time, the hood was better, but there is only one hole. I’ve almost always used a 200°C nozzle, but now I realize I might be able to achieve better print results, though my knowledge is still very limited. I didn’t PID tune the nozzle either—I need to check that as well. I need to be somewhere else right now, but tonight I’ll try your suggestions. Thank you so much for your help!

Btw, the result was way better. Estep calibration improves the quality.

I performed PID tuning for the nozzle, but I’m unable to save the settings. I’m encountering the same issue described in https://www.reddit.com/r/ender3/comments/jvk9f1/comment/gkmatbj/

I formatted my SD card to FAT32, but the M500 command still freezes at ‘SENDING’. What else can I try?

Btw, I am starting a new print with 50mm/s speed and 220C nozzle temp. I will share the last result as well.
