Thanks, I have a CR-10 and the Z screw thread bar is free and not binding (it was but I fixed that) however on this the horizontal bar is supported by rollers either end. The XY belts are ok just did them a day or so ago. I will let it finish the current print and see what I have and then give it a good going over. I like the CR-10's system as no double bars to check, but the rollers are a bit trby charentejohn - Prusa i3 and variants
Just looking at a print coming off and noticed this, worse when printing as it dulls down a bit once it cools. Printed at 215c and strong, good adhesion, but I do keep getting this. It is for model aircraft so not terrible but it would be nice to get a smoother finish but strong is preferred. Previously at 205c I did get just an even striped finish (good for 0.2mm) and very even small stripes hby charentejohn - Prusa i3 and variants
Thanks, looks much better. A combination of extrusion and the cunningly names Z seam alignment, should say and travel controller.. I changed Z seam alignment and all the travels stopped ending up at the same place. I did still have a weak layer about 1-2mm from the bottom. Changing the retraction settings and it seems better, also dropped the layer height from 0.2 to 0.15, figured it was betteby charentejohn - Prusa i3 and variants
That is what is so strange, the rest of the sides are fine just not that bit. Also the short side to side infill is ok but the end to end isn't. I can see the infill may need slowing, perhaps it is going end to end too fast. I remembered something from Cura about travel and so turned to view it and guess what. No matter what I do it always ends up at the same failed corner !! Photo attached, Iby charentejohn - Prusa i3 and variants
I knew someone would ask, not a great photo but should help. Note the central infill, just strings not a solid. Also the small section also not a solid just strings. If I rotate the part through 180 degrees the same bit would be just strings so related to where it is on the buildplate rather than which part of the model it is. Basically like it turns the corner, decides not to work between thby charentejohn - Prusa i3 and variants
I know this is a common problem but I have tried the usual ansers, increase temp, go slower but this only happens under certain conditions. I thought I had fixed it but it is back again, I changed so much stuff no idea how it went away in the first place. I printed a 3dlab P47 plane which I eventually managed to do but the wings were a nightmare, the inner supports would not print, then no adhesby charentejohn - Prusa i3 and variants
