I've noticed that when I print with the natural PLA, it's level of translucency changes throughout the print.
I have seen areas of nearly complete transparency and I would like to know how to replicate that.
From what I can tell it seems to depend on one or two factors:
1. The temperature of the print. I bet this is the strongest factor. As the temperature of the hotend fluctuates through the print, I can see stripes with different levels of translucency. The problem is, even if I find the ideal temperature, the nozzle will fluctuate wildly outside the narrow window required. Is there a way to maintain a more consistent temperature with a smaller range of variability?
2. I think that whether on not a fan is on the print may affect it, causing tiny bubbles in the plastic maybe?
Has anyone been able to consistently get mostly transparent prints? Have any tips?
Thanks,
Brad
