FRUSTRATING!! - Print quality or weak print
April 18, 2015 03:07PM
Hello Printers!

I have an issue....
I am trying to calibrate my printer. And i can get pretty results, with close to no misshaping due to heat.
How ever, at this temperature, the printed parts are very weak! and is likely to snap off in the layers..
So my question is...
Why am i seeing the following:



Or my prints are too weak.....

On the pictures above, i am printing around 200 degrees celsius.
My Slic3r config bundle is here:
Slic3r config bundle (Repetier)

What am i doing wrong?

images don't load.. but it sounds your heat is too low and not fusing the layers.
PLA or ABS or??

PLA

Sorry for the bad images! Its a dropbox link. Ill fix it when i get near a computer..
I agree, its NOT fusing.. But If i turn the heat up, it seems the plastic "collapses" As Seen on the images (Which is In the dropbox link)..

Do you have cooling fans? The only way to fix the delamination is to print hotter, so you need to cool the print, or print slower.

I would say yes, your fans are too small. I have 2- 9 CFM fans on mine, and I find I have issues on some bridging. My plan is to upgrade to a blower style or higher CFMs. You can test with some bridging calibration pieces.
