When printing I get such a glitch, as you can see in the attached pictures. When I try to print the same thing several times - it appears in the same place. I’ve tried different settings, but now I’ve run out of ideas. Has anyone had this problem? How can you deal with it?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Greetings,
Marek.
Just taking a guess here, but is it possible that this is the seam?
Personally, I hate seams, so I set the seams to Random. This way, the join is in different places and not seen.
Is this on a 3 V3 Plus?
When I had a bad print, to test, I just went back to one of the profiles that was already in Creality Print for the Plus printer.
I also increased the heat to 230 for PLA and 245 for PETG.
This helped, however, the PETG, which was brand new, in a vacuum sealed packed, was NOT dry, as it turns out!
I got a Creality Space Pi Dual and dried the PETG for several hours.
That, plus the default settings, but with hotter, really helped.
With your situation there, have you also tried other filament?
Also, getting back to the settings, something doesn’t look right there, unless that’s part of the design. I’m referring to seeing the triangles in the wall.
Is that part of the design or is that the infil being pushed through? If so, perhaps adding an extra outer wall or 2 might help?
Just shots in the darks there.
Hope you figure it out.
I just did the firmware update for the V3 Plus and doing a print now.
I did run into 2 problems, one was just the filament getting tangled on the spool, but the other, more concerning, was a full layer shift (layers didn’t stick).
I’ve not had that issue at all on these Plus printers (I have 2).
If this firmware has caused a problem, I’m going to see if it’s possible to revert to the previous.
I should never update firmware. I know this! But I took a chance. sigh…
Hello,
First of all, thanks for your quick and comprehensive answer.
I am using Ender 3 V3 SE.
I have set the stitching to “Sharpest corner” and “Smart hiding”, which improved the systuation and it is already acceptable, I think (as you can see in the picture). I also increased the temperature a bit. Will still try to experiment with other settings, for example “Random”.
An interesting thing is in the screenshots from Cure. On the first one is the “raw” model, and on the second one after setting the above stitching parameters.
What I don’t understand - is why these (white) gaps appear at all. I checked my model in Meshmixer and Blender and neither of them reported any inconsistencies.
As for the filament - for now ordinary PLA, but eventually I’d like to use a flexible one (this smaller piece is supposed to be a cover for neodymium magnets).
These triangles - of course I will correct. This was the first fitting for now.
Thanks and regards,
Marek.
Hello IQ955,
I have the exact same problem with my prints from my new Ender-3-v3-se
I use Esun PLA as I have done for a few years with a Cocoon Touch printer (slow but problem free).
Tried 3 different slicers (UtilMaker Cura, Crealty Print and Orca slicer) with all doing the same.
The setups for each of the slicers are unchanged by me as I would expect the outcome to be correct without having to change things first (when I buy a car, I don’t expect to have to modify the motor before I can drive it).
So, “and I’m sorry for the rant”, have you found a solution at all ?
Thanks,
Peter.
After setting Seams to Random as BlondieSL mentioned, the prints come out fine.
Cheers to all.
