Zits And Pimples - S3D April 15, 2016 04:02PM |
Hello Reprap!
I am using Simplify3d with a SmartrapCore bowden setup.
If you see the attatched pictures, you'll notice alot of pimples and zits. This is where the outer perimeter starts and stops.
I have tried everything in S3D - From Wiping up to 8mm, coasting up to 5mm, retracting between layers and so on.
The print that the picture is of, is done with 0 wiping, 2.4 mm coasting @ 60mm/s, 200 Degrees celsius hotend and 65 degrees bed.
I'm using Devil Design Green PLA 1.75mm.
Does anyone have any tip or solution to this?
it would be highly apreciated!!
Any other tips on how to improve the print quality is also very welcome

Hey guys!
Awesome, quick feedback!
I'll try and bump up the z values, However, eliminating retractions isn't quite the goal
It's also an issue while printing the benchy for example :/
I'll get back to you with another print
JamesK - yea I'm very pleased with it! And it's roughly half price compared to colorfabb

I Just tried tinkering with the Z values - And its made a difference.
How ever, i see the blop showing only at the end of the outer perimeter.
As if its not connecting the 2 "ends" of the loop.
Should i try disabling coasting?

My I ask why removing the retraction in a part that does not need it is a bad thing? 
I made the suggestion to rule out your pimples are caused by incorrect retraction/wipe settings...

Your right - and i just tried.
It did not have any visible effect :/
But it might look like the filament is being pushed over the edge because of some excess plastic from the first perimeter.
Gah

I see - Your issue looks kind of like mine :/
have you tried calibrating the extrusion again? - I'm desperate... So i'm trying that again

Please give me a feedback!
This is really bugging me

Thanks for getting back
So, i've done a few things...
I've activated Firmware Retractions, I've changed my extruder to a geared one (WOW what an improvement) and i've gone over to volumetric extrusion (still dialing in) but, some of that seems to have helped... Or maybe its just slicer
I hate how you have to dial S3D in how come such an expensive software, doesnt have the functions of a free one

Those are the trade-offs that have to be made. Slic3r is feature rich, but the cost is that it can be prone to bugs. With S3D they likely put more of their resources into usability and stability. The cost is largely immaterial (to this argument, obviously not to the individual user) - for the likely size of the market the price of S3D is close to zero. It certainly isn't enough to support a large full time software team, so the differences are more ones of approach than funding. (Let's say the average programmer salary is $100K, fully over-headed costs are roughly 2x salary, a small software team is 10 people, so annual cost is $2 million. Does S3D sell 13 thousand copies a year? I doubt it)
It's easy to get frustrated with Slic3r's bugs, or with Cura's limitations, but the reality is that these are amazing pieces of software available for free, and all of us who at least got started with them owe an enormous debt of gratitude.

Your absolutely Right JamesK.
However, as i just moved from S3D to Slic3r - I gotta say, the feel of S3D is way better
But, i think that both softwares has some features which the other lacks :/
However, what exactly does the pressure advance setting in slic3r do?

I see - It did not do anything good for me
However, the joy was short.
The pimples are back - for some reason
And now, whenever my printer does a retraction, the filament blocks.. Could this be due to moisture? It forms a big lump of filament at the end, making it too big to pass the hot end.

Aww! I thought that
How could i fix this?
I just took off the fan, although being dusty, it seemed fine.
Sure it couldnt just be moisture in the filament?
I just tried another filament, which seems fine :/

That shouldnt be the issue with a E3D Though, it's all metal, isnt it?
- I just tried inserting a piece of the other PLA, which now retratcted fine O.o

They come with liners if not genuine and some originals too to get down from 3mm to 1.75mm, not an expert though, so if in doubt check
Have you tried to pull the hot filament out by hand?
If that shows a much bigger "lump" at the end it could indicate that there is a cooling issue in the cold end/heat break.
Or, that the tolerances are too high, it should be one snug fit till the hole for the melting chamber.

Ahh Well, the liner on my original E3D V6 is the actual bowden tube it seems.
Thinking about applying olive oil to the filament to help remove some of the stress in the bowden tube.Do you reckon this would help?
