Hello,
I had also the issue, that the printer a) flushes a lot b) seem not to respond to any flush multiplier changes and c) doesn’t flush either into tower or infill.
So I ran some tests with different Flush settings:
5 Tests (see named screenshots and print / flush results in pictures)
-
flush 1.3, with tower - calculated (calc.) 2,9g model (M) / 3.3g flush (F) /
1.58g tower (T) - reality 2.8g model, / 5,6g flush / 1.5g tower → way more
flush
-
flush 1.0, no tower - calc 2,9g M/ 2,5g F/ no T - real 2,9g / 5,7g F / no T →
double flush calc to real and similar to 1,3 setting
-
flush 0,5, no tower - calc model = real Model / 1,27g F calculated, but 6,2
expelled (was also first print of the day)
-
flush 0.0, with and without tower - Model + Tower weights similar to above,
flush calculated 0.0, but 3.3 to 3.5 grams
Results:
-
with flush settings to 0.0, flush in this test reduced to nearly half
-
flush setting above 0.0 always same flush, but also not adjustable (simulated in
slicer, close to multiplier set to 2.7 or 2.8
-
no difference using a tower for flushing (assumption from prior printing, also
flushing into infill makes no difference, because printer flushes first everything
into waste channel
Find enclosed the print test file
4 Color Tower Testprint.3mf (68,9 KB)
what the software told me, how much it would flush
Do you have smilier problems?
