Hi there,
Very new to 3D printing, about 3 days now. We have an Ender V3-SE.
On the first day, after assembly, I ran a print for a model of a USB cord holder. Everything went well.
Now, when I try to run a Benchy boat test, the outer walls appear to be drooping as if they melted. I tried a few things, such as adjusting various settings and nothing has changed and return to basic settings but still happening.
Hoping someone could give me definitive guidance, everything I’ve found on YouTube is so confusing and assumes you already have experience with this
Is the nozzle cooling fan not running, I would check that, I had a similar print with a disconnected fan on my Ender 5 plus. Other than that are you running the correct settings for your filament? Doesn’t look like layer shift but won’t do any harm in checking belt tensions.
Thanks @Bonfireman !
How would I go about checking the nozzle fan? Is it beside the nozzle itself?
I used the recommended settings for the filament, Eureka brand, 1.75mm, Nozzle: 200, bed temp: 60.
The initial line think it is “skirt” on Cura isn’t adhering to the bed either.
If you remove the hotend cover there is a fan in there with a duct that goes to the nozzle to cool the extruded filament, check it is connected to the PCB, it will have hotmelt glue on it that you can remove and reseat the connector. Without that fan running the filament stays molten leading to that melted look. I think you can select the fan on the jog dial.
If the skirt isn’t adhering then your z-offset is possibly too high you can adjust this while it is laying down the skirt or the bed needs cleaning.
