Replicated defects
May 28, 2014 05:42PM
I have printed 4 columns for my MKII printer I am currently building, I have noticed slight defects on each one in nearly an identical pattern, it looks like a mechanical jump except it goes away the further up the print it goes, it's printed @ .2mm layer with a .35mm nozzle, sliced with slic3r in repetier host and run from a SD card, in black ABS, it cannot be defects in the material as the patterns are so similar.
Can anyone give me steer, the only thing I can think of is the code causing it?
I have attached some shots, one is my printer.

Was there another adjacent part being printed? You can get effects like this when jumping between parts.

Travel, why didn't I think about that?
I'm going on a whim here, you're using Slic3r. If you are, then I'll tell you from personal Slic3r exclusivity that it will make odd, though repeatable, travels outside the model and back into the model, even if each layer is a single area. I don't understand it, it's simply what it does, even when I have "don't cross perimeters" checked. If you don't have it checked, do so, and see if that helps.

Instantly can tell from your pictures your using garbage slicing software...

Time to get a clue...

Hope my experience helps you... enjoy Happy Printing !smileys with beer
