In desperation to find a solution to my problem I came to this forum and after searching the previous posts I have not been able to find anyone with the same problem as me.
Im using an Ender 3 V3 SE since 3 weeks ago and it works like a dream, however, it has a huge problem printing flat surfaces as you can see in the images below, is something weird with the adhesion between layers.
This issue ONLY happens with flat surfaces, any non flat other object is printed as spected, and as you can see the issue could happen in the first layers, in the middle, in the last layer, and sometimes happens and sometimes not
Im used allways the same profile and settings in Orca slicer, printing with the same PLA filament and tried all the testings suggested (flow rate, temperature, leveling, presion level) without any progress.
Temperature: 200/60
Filament: PLA
Slicer: Orca
Could somebody point me into the right direction so I can investigate deeply to fix this problem ?
If that is the first layer I would say your z offset is too close to the bed, try raising the nozzle by 0.05 increments until it becomes smooth. Another thing to look at is flowrate, if that is too high it can also cause wrinkling, you should calibrate the flowrate, wouldn’t be surprised if you are 5/10% off optimum.
One of the things I check also is the filament to make sure it’s dry. If not it can cause all kinds of problems even a new roll.
Maybe just for a test try another slicer like Creality Print 4 or 5. I’m not saying it’s better. Just to test out what going on with your prints…
I’m 100% sure that the filament is dry, I’m using brand new filaments I bought this week and I use a tons of silica gel in their boxes, and the weather is dry this summer here where I live
But I will give a chance to Creality Print, thanks for the suggestion
Hi, Not sure if my response would of any help…
But this is what Chat GPT suggests…
It looks like you’re experiencing layer shifting in the prints. This issue can occur for several reasons:
Belt Tension: If the belts on your X or Y axis are too loose, it can cause the layers to shift, resulting in this kind of pattern. Check the belts and make sure they are properly tensioned.
Stepper Motor Issues: The stepper motors might be skipping steps due to insufficient current, overheating, or mechanical resistance. Ensure that the motors aren’t getting too hot and that the drivers are configured correctly in the firmware.
Loose Pulleys or Grub Screws: The pulleys on the stepper motors can come loose, causing the motor to turn without moving the belt properly. Check if the pulleys are tightly secured to the motor shaft, and tighten the grub screws if needed.
Printing Speed: If the print speed is too high, the motors might not have enough torque to keep up with the commands, especially on rapid direction changes. Try slowing down your print speed.
Firmware Settings (Acceleration and Jerk): High acceleration and jerk settings can cause layer shifting, especially on quick directional changes. Try lowering these settings in your slicer or printer’s firmware.
Obstruction: Ensure there are no obstructions or debris on the bed or along the movement path of the print head, as this could cause resistance and lead to shifting.
Checking these aspects should help identify and resolve the issue.
