Posted · order of ooze shield

It is possible to alter the printing order of the ooze shield??. Sometimes, with first layers with less line thickness and printing multiple objects, it is common for the first object or the first two to print correctly, but the following ones begin to lack material in the first layer due to the small amount of material that is deposited.

 

A possible solution would be to print the ooze of an object immediately before printing the object, instead of printing the entire ooze and then all the objects. The ideal in this case would be to ooze around each object, which is possible, but print each ooze shield when you finish the first layer of one object and before starting the first layer of the next.

 

It's possible?. Thanks!

    It doesn't sound like the shield is your problem, your printer just isn't feeding enough filament. My first guess would be calibrating your E-steps, because that makes for a difference which adds up over time. @GregValiant can give a great explanation for how to do that (and I can't because I've never had to).

     

    As a potential mitigation (but not a proper fix), try turning Special Modes > Relative Extrusion on. If your E-steps are off, that will make it so that each movement should only be affected a little bit.
