S5: PVA from Core 1 keeps oozing out while Core 2 is printing

Posted · S5: PVA from Core 1 keeps oozing out while Core 2 is printing

Is there a setting to force the material in core one to be pulled back further when the printer switches to core 2?

 

I'm pretty sure that the movement of the printerheads causes the bowden tube to flex and exert some pressure on the filament inside, pressing it towards the nozzle, leading to some extrusion of material, which gets stuck inside and along the print, also causing tons of strings when the extruded material gets caught somewhere. It's not always a real problem, but recently, it seems to have gotten worse, with more bits and pieces getting stuck in the walls of the print, leading to ugly holes.

On certain prints, when the oozing pieces collect at the same spots and bending upwards in a certain way, they even get caught by the printhead and knock part of the support structure loose. it's really annoying.

 

I'll try using the minimum temperature for pva on a test tomorrow to see if that helps any, but I doubt it, I'm already down  to 212°

 

Do you have any advice to prevent that ammount of oozing?

        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.
