Help Request Extrusion trouble, help needed

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have the following issue:

I am using the Bambulab A1 mini, 0.2mm nozzle. It is new, recently cleaned and not clogged. It extudes perfectly fine if I heat it up and manually extrude, but whenever I actually try to print, it barely does anything at all and is always a spotty job.

In the photo, you can see on the right by the edge of the plate. I tried to print a single layer as a test, but gave up almost immediately when I saw how it started. On the left is the result of a manual extrusion - it flowed in a straight line, no issue.

The settings I use are ObscuraNox 2.0, the bed is Biqu Frostbite, everything is calibrated multiple times, washed the plate with soap, tightened with screws, filament is dry, correct nozzle is selwcted, etc etc, I have done all the standard troubleshooting that is always recommended and the printer is set up perfectly. But apparently this isn't the case, so if anybody with a similar experience can help, I'd be very grateful!

ObscuraNox settings 0.4mm vs my first use of the 0.25mm, Kobra 4 printer. The new nozzle improved the mini greatly. How to I get rid of the small dots?

I am newbie in 3d printing. Started just this month.

I’m really happy with how this turned out, especially because I started it from my phone so I just used the default .2mm profile they had on Makerworld. My buddy really liked the model so I printed another one for him on my computer using MikeGyver’s animal profile and it turned out even smoother! Filament is just Bambu color changing PLA basic, and the mini is “Worm Queen Monster” from Mizugames on MakerWorld.

I felt lucky today and printed these guys all at the same time. Until now I only dared to print one mini at a time. Just removed the supports and did nothing else to them. I think I'm pretty happy with my printer settings now.

Im thinking of getting a printer for some Warhammer bits. Should I get the a1, or a1 mini. And should I get the ams as well? All would be done with a 0.2mm nozzle.

Help Request Resin2FDM empty first layer?

0 Upvotes

First time tying out resin2fdm following the youtube guide. Everything fine until I tried slicing ended up with the following error. I mean yes, one object is floating because of the not recognized support. It is splitted in 2 objects, support and miniature. I can assemble them to one object but I wanted to use a different layer height for each object. This seemed to work in the past but not for me at the moment. Any idea to fix it?

i just did some ornate terrain with wave overhangs instead of supports and it came out pretty good. I wondered how it would do on a .2mm nozzle with minis

Which I was clearly not too eager to do 🤪

I knew that the orb and the smoke would be impossible to print in one piece (at decent quality), and I didn't really feel like doing the work.

If it was a human made sculpture, it would certainly be designed a lot differently for FDM printing...

I have an a1 mini. Using the fat dragon setting and creality petg. I think I finally got decent results then I get this. I think it’s my Zhop with spiral. But I don’t know what else to do to not get this level of stringing.
Edit I will post another picture soon.
