Vertical shafts warping?

Posted (edited) · Vertical shafts warping?

Using my Lotmaxx SC-10 printer and Cura Darwin slicer, vertical shafts keep warping when attempting to print.

Is there any way to fix this? I am printing them to a precise measurement so as to fit in something else, so resizing and making them thicker isn't really an option. I've tried a few basic troubleshooting steps, but I'm pretty new to printing and don't really know where to go from here. Maybe adjust print speed?? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

    The layers of the vertical part are simple, so they don't take long enough for the material to solidify before the next layer is printed. There is a setting called "minimum layer time". You could try increasing that. Another way to work around these fast layers is to print multiple of the same object at the same time.

     

    Here's a more indepth explanation from the Settings Guide plugin:

        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.
