lnpurnell 1 Posted March 20, 2015 in Z Axis Lines Hi, I am trying to print this object and lines keep appearing along the Z axis at different intervals, here are my settings, http://imgur.com/Sr3zVac Layer height: 0.06mm Material Faberdashery Red PLA, Temperature 230 Bed Temp 60 Speed 30mm/s material flow 100% It looks like the material is failing to print fully on certain layers, I tried increasing the material flow to 120%, it smoothed the lines out a bit but nothing drastic. Any ideas? Thanks, Leigh 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lnpurnell 1 Posted March 20, 2015 in Z Axis Lines I have also done the under extrusion test and my printer has been hitting 10mm/s no problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellowshark 123 Posted March 20, 2015 in Z Axis Lines Well I wonder about a couple of things. Firstly your temp. must be too hot. I print Faberdashery red at 30mm/s, layer .200 at 210c; so that is 3X the amount of material at 20c lower. Also I wonder how you set your print up to reach your minimum layer temp.? What is the temp and what is your infill setting? Also were you using 100%on the fans? Did you do the under extrusion test with same filament? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lnpurnell 1 Posted March 22, 2015 in Z Axis Lines I was using 100% on the fans, I adjust the temp on the ultimaker settings. Ill do the test with the other filament Thanks Leigh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
