Hi there! I have an issue while printing PLA… There is threads everywhere and I can´t avoid them. I have tried changing the temperature (The big piece was at 195 degrees, the little at 183), the layer is 0,21mm and the speed is close to default. What do you think is the problem? I have no cooler at the nozzle (I have it on the peak)… Could it be the problem? What would you print to support the fan? And what size of fan would you put? Thanks a lot! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,391170,391170#msg-391170 Fri, 10 Jul 2026 22:46:04 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,391170,391284#msg-391284 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,391170,391284#msg-391284 3D-ME Printing Tue, 05 Aug 2014 17:11:55 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,391170,391272#msg-391272 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,391170,391272#msg-391272
Anyway, what temperature do you recommend for PLA?

Amyway, when the hot end is warming up, the string goes alone... I mean, it doesn't throw PLA only when it extrudes but when is waiting for the printing while warming up...

It may be the temperature then? May be I have not selected the right thermistor but... before warming the hot end, it's at around 28 degrees (what looks like it's measuring fine)

What could I set on slicer for the retraction to be fine?

Thanks and sorry for my English :D]]> monbesugo Printing Tue, 05 Aug 2014 15:28:04 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,391170,391238#msg-391238 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,391170,391238#msg-391238 3D-ME Printing Tue, 05 Aug 2014 15:10:54 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,391170,391170#msg-391170 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?262,391170,391170#msg-391170
