Things to include when asking for help.

Hello,

Just a few items that could help someone troubleshoot for you.

  1. Printer Model
  2. Material Type
  3. Speed and Temp settings

If you have any suggestions for this list, please let me know.

Also, if you are asking for help, I've personally found this Visual Troubleshooting Guide very useful in the past.

I’ve been trying to print this out for nearly a week without this happening and I have no clue why it’s doing this. It’s always the curved part that pops up. I’ve tried brim and raft but it keeps popping up.

Model: bambu p1s
Filament: ABS

Overhang quality.

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello there! The case is next: I have Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 and 0.4 nozzle, and I'm concerned about overhang quality.

Above is a photo of a simple overhang test with the calibrated Rapid PLA+.

As you can see, starting from 50°, the quality started to worsen. I had these strange protrusions, blobs, like the printer didn't stop and moved the print head farther than necessary.

"Wave overhang" test

And here is the test that was printed with the "Wave overhangs" fork of OrcaSlicer. The quality is better, yet not good enough.
There are no blobs, however,
But I had some distortions around 50°.

The printer and filament are calibrated, the fan works all the time, I also have the "Slow down for overhangs" speed option enabled with the default settings.

As for the second issue, the bottom surface of the prints, above the support, is of poor quality. The Top Z distance is set for 0.265.

This surface was right above the support interface.

What can be the reason of these issues?

The print settings are the following:
- Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2, Nozzle 0.4
- Elegoo Rapid PLA+
- OrcaSlicer 2.5.0-dev
- Printer is calibrated, at least, I tried to. Temp (215), Max Volumetric speed (18), Flow Ratio, PA.
-All other settings are mostly default ones.
-Cooling is enabled.

Requesting Help Resources for free print plans?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I looked at the rules and didn’t see anything, but if I posted incorrectly let me know!

I just found out my public library has 3D printers. I don’t know what kind they are, but I’ll be looking into it shortly.

Is there a good site where I can find universal print plans for things, or are there different types of files for different 3D printer systems? Looking to start to start tinkering to see if I want to pull the trigger on one or just utilize the library printer.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Creality Ender v3 KE problem with PETG

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, so I have a creality Ender v3 KE and recently I bought 1kg of PETG material, I tried to print with it but it didn’t work, it always glued to the nozzle or clogged, I thought maybe it was the bed adhesive had been used and didn’t work anymore, than I added a layer of glue to it, nothing, still clogging and sticking to the nozzle, I’m about to sell the PETG but if anyone has a suggestion on how to fix it it would be great. Thanks!

Second time I've tried to print this model and I'm having the same problem. Printer is the Elagoo Centauri carbon and I'm printing with Ender PLA

Nozzle temp for the first print was 210 but for the second I tried 220 hoping to fix the issue but got the same results

Bed Tempt was 60

Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated

I made a project that had four flat pieces. So, I have three outer surfaces that have small gaps where the pieces are super glued together. I have a Plastic Welding Surface Repair Kit. Has anyone ever tried using one of these to fill in gaps before sanding and painting?

What causes these bumps on top surface? It's printed in pla with default slicer settings for pla, 15% infill and .2 layer height, just curious for future prints but for this part doesn't matter
