Shell not printing properly

Posted · Shell not printing properly

I recently had a problem with a nozzle that got clogged and I couldn't clear. So I purchased a new nozzle and got everything good to go. I tried a couple of prints and I'm having a really strange problem. The shell is not printing properly. I've tried changing settings, and even set the shell to be 1.2 mm thick and it keeps printing super thin and flimsy. The strangest thing is the shell is printing with a pattern of diagonal lines going up that are alternating thin and thick like a mesh. They are also not fusing to each other so I can see each individual shell line that was printed. The shell is resilient enough to not pull apart when I move them, but the prints squish and are flexible when they are suppose to be ridged. 70% cubic infill and it feels like a spring with PLA. I was printing a part that was suppose to be durable and resist pulling a door.

    So I replaced the nozzle again, and it seems to be printing properly. Thought the issue was in the gcode because of the diagonal pattern that I was seeing. Maybe there was a piece of metal in the first nozzle that was causing the issue.

        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.
