Big blob on every layer extrusion and not consistent
Posted
· Big blob on every layer extrusion and not consistent
I think you more than one issue, the blobs in each layer are the z-seam, and should not look that bad. You can control the z-seam, to have it not randomly distributed over the object, but have it always in one place. But then it will still look like bad with a big blob.
I guess you print too hot or with too low cooling. So the nozzle oozes during the z-hop and then you get the blob at the beginning of the new layer. You can also play with retraction settings, but printing cooler should help here.
The problem on the top is hard to guess, maybe a too big layer height? Is the model hollow?
