Print Quality Changes on different colors

Posted · Print Quality Changes on different colors

I have been printing several of the same part but in different colors. All the EXACT same material (PLA) & from the same manufacturer/company.

When printing this part out of black, white, dark grey, & blue colors all print PERFECT. I am so impressed with the quality of the prints. But there are 2 colors that 

print "ok" but the same exact area on each part continues to mess up over & over on these specific colors. I am using the same program/file. Nothing changes on any of them other than the color..

I am in a rush & desperately need to finish these last 3 colors & have hit a brick wall! Any suggestions or help would be AWESOME!!

    Sorry to hear you are having this issue..

    But no one is really going to be able to provide advice for you without pictures of the issue vs good print and or screenshots of what the model looks like in the area with the print quality issue.

    It is possible depending on the brand of material that not all colors are created equally, this is not uncommon.
    Honestly not even all materials are created equal either.  There is no "standard" for how PLA must be made.. so everyone has their own recipe for it in most cases.
    Which would mean for those other colors you would need a slightly adjusted print profile if its the case for your issue.
