Hello,
I see the bead width varies with print speed and I'm looking for an explanation.
See
The object:
materiaal: PLA
nozzle diameter: 0,4 mm
object width: 2,4 mm
wall thickness: 1,2 mm (i.e. the half of the object width, so ni infill is applied)
prints speed 20, 60, 120 en 180 mm/s
Two questions:
• We expect 6 beads with a width of slightly more than 0.4 mm. Printed are 7 beads. Why?
• The wires are printed from the inside (road 1) to the outside (road 7) printed. The beads do not have a constant width as the print speed varies. Road 1 (the inside) is very wide at high print speeds and narrower at lower printing speed. I think this is only possible if the central bead comes out extremely slow out of the nozzle and its neighbors on the other hand extremely fast. I'd rather have expected a constant bead width on all seven beads. Do you have an explanation for this?
