Blobs at the end of each layer

Posted · Blobs at the end of each layer

I seem to be getting an end-of-layer blob with this PLA print. There is supposed to be a through-hole on the left and right sides, the left side works fine but it messes up the right. The left side is where it starts the layer, and the right side is where it ends. I aborted Part 2 because I noticed it starting again, with adjusted retraction settings. Also noticing it on 2 of the larger holes, shown below, at the end of each revolution.

 

Ender 3 v2

0.2mm Layer Height

4mm nozzle

100% infill

205°C nozzle, 60°C bed

Support: none

Part 1: 6mm retraction @ 25mm/s

Part 2: 4mm retraction @ 50mm/s

 

Any help is appreciated - Thanks!

    It could be a few things, whats your print speed btw?

     

    It could be your over all print speed is to much, but i think you have another problem looking at the top layer of the base i can see that the paths are not all joined to each other and you got gaps between them. This could be filament size settings, line width settings and filament flow.

     

    If you go to file and save project you be able to upload your 3MF file to the post and this will let people see your full settings.

    Print speed is 50 mm/s, infill 50 mm/s, top/bottom 25 mm/s. I see what you mean about the gaps, but didn't think they were significant enough to worry about - so I should be getting a better quality out of the top face you think?

     

    I forgot to save the settings, but haven't changed print speed and flows.

     

    Flow is all 95%, I have this extruder with e-steps changed to 139 from stock. I found 95% flow to give me approx. +/-0.02mm on a calibration cube. Line width set to 0.4mm.

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
