    • The problem is in your model: (enhanced contrast to show the different shading of different faces)   The file is also technically invalid, but not bad enough to prevent it from being loaded. That may be the cause of the wavy lines though (as that face is defined as a bunch of columns rather than the simplicity of just using two triangles).   What program did you use to create it? SketchUp is sort of considered a running joke about how terrible the files it exports are and Blender (or other mesh-based modelling programs) don't always get it quite right, because it's not what they're designed for. Ideally for structures made of basic shapes like this you would use a CAD program.
    • Thanks for your answers.   Makes sense!   Dunno. I was the only thing I saw changing while the print failed. Needs more testing.   The purple filament is pretty new. Maybe a week since I opened it. I live in a pretty dry place (Eilat) and the humidity level usually stay under 30%. It is generic, but the other colors from the same brand work great. During prints it doesn't break and no cracks are visible. It's not "crunchy" either and cannot be broken by bending it. Very weird filament...   I don't. I use the original 6.35mm bowden tubes. BTW I  tried replacing them with new ones and found out mine were too small (6mm) 🙈 Also tried to insert a 3OD/2ID bowden in the original one and it got sucked in by the retractions as you mentioned. I was considering gluing it inside the original one using superglue, but I don't know if it will give me any improvements and I don't wanna ruin the bowden... Any thoughts?
    • Hello,   for some prints, cura produces a wavy line on a straight section of wall. does anyone know a possible reason?   Thanks in advance! Cheers CFFFP_Support_Test.3mf
    • Hello, I'd like to inquire about whether the Method XL is compatible with third-party filament. I've discovered that it can't utilize Ultimaker filament because it only supports 1.75mm filament.
    • So wait - you are using 1.75mm pla through smaller bowdens.  Does the bowden go down inside of the print core?  I guess that's fine.  I can't think of any reason it would get hung up.    How do you keep the smaller bowden from retracting into the feeder on retractions and chewing up the bowden in the feeder?
