Problem during printing PLA - 13 years ago
Hi all, I have a makerbot, with a mk6 extruder and I'm printing transparent 1.75mm PLA. I have my extruder at 195 C and my HBP at 60 C. I have a fan next to the extruder to cool it. Each time I try to print, the first part is ok but then when i print again the beginning of the part is ok and at one stage my filament is not extruded anymore. I tried to change the temp of my extruder but it is theby Anais25 - General
Safety cutoff started to burn - 13 years ago
Hi everyone, I have a makerbot 3D printer and yesterday when I printed PLA my safety cutoff started to burn. Does someone have already had that ? Do you know why this happened ? I join a picture of my safety cutoff.(sorry for the quality of the pix) It is the first time that it's happened whereas I have already printed a lot of parts in ABS and PLA. Thanks in advance, Anaisby Anais25 - General
Re: Anyone who has already printed with 1,75mm PLA - 13 years ago
Thks, I have 4043D too, but i started with 180°C as I sow on wiki but the plastic was to cold maybe because of the fun. Then I have increased the temp until a good printing and it was at 195°C . Maybe for the 1.75mm i will need a lower temp. Anaisby Anais25 - General

I have already tried with 3 mm PLA with a bed at 60 degrees and 195degrees for the extruder and with a fun close to the extruder and it wasn't too bad. Thks in advanceby Anais25 - General
