  1. There is a spiralize mode, if you are willing to print the two separately? Otherwise I will leave this to the experts 😅
  2. Images below. Once it gets to the top of the pointy areas, I am starting to get small gaps and very lumpy edges. The rest of the print is mostly fine. the Infill does look a tad underextruded and I often get the blobs and stringing when it swaps between the 4 towers. (I've cut the worst of it off already here.) ColorFabb PLA/PHA Temp: 200 travel speed: 150 retraction length: 7mm retraction speed: 35 Any tips? I am still quite new to this and hoped I can improve this print. I am using an old UM2 extended
  3. Hello all. After my first print not sticking too well to the bed and warping, I put some watered down prit stick on the glass bed. Now the print has stuck royally to the bed, I have tried prying it loose with a razor, and soaked it for a few minutes in warm soapy water and no luck. I can barely get a razor underneath it! Anything else I can do? Trying to not damage the glass bed.
  4. This image helped me deduce the 'wrong way up' incident with my bowden tube. My tupe had not entered nearly as far down as your image! Thank you kindly
  5. You were absolutely right about the bowden. Somehow after I did an atomic pull, I switched the ends, which apparently is a no-go! Now it is entering just fine! Now I can finally have a go at printing my first objects out! Thanks!
  6. I am having trouble getting the filament to feed into the nozzle. It looks like it never wants to go in straight, and always seems to be curving to the left like image above. I have done an atomic pull to clean the nozzle three times over, I have also straightened the filament off the spool as much as possible as well as sharpening the end as usually suggested. Was working perfectly happy last time I printed on the machine, until I had to abort a recent print due to warping of the base. Since then, I have not managed to get the filament to insert without the feeder complaining, most likely due to this misalignment issue. Any suggestions?
