    Hello 3d fails!

     

    Those little dots are what the community likes to call “zits”. They are caused when the extruder “frequently starts and stops” while a print is taking place.

     

    The simplest ways to fix the problem are by enabling coasting, and/or adding your retraction settings in the slicer. A good place to start with your retraction distance is 5mm. If there are still some dots, increase the distance by 0.5-1mm increments, if stringing is prevalent, go ahead by decreasing it with 0.5-1mm increments.

     

    Please let me know if you have any questions!
