Help with Printing Quality issues


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited) · Help with Printing Quality issues

Having some problems all of a sudden, so I ran a test print and I am wondering the best way to tackle them since they seemed to all appear at once. Could be the new filament I'm using. Walls don't meet up with interior well anymore and everything is pretty stringy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Ha, ya it may be just that. I have been printing a massive model and haven't changed from white for quite a while. This problem has only cropped up since I have been using white so maybe that's the issue. It just seemed so odd that all of a sudden, everything was out of whack but also has contradicting results. Like, really solid layers, but the walls aren't touching. Anyways, I am almost done my printing with white, and I will change it out and see if that's the root cause. Thanks for the input, I completely forgot about that possibility.

        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...

        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
