Hi All
My Ender 3 V3 KE is about 3 months old and updated to the latest firmware.
Since I’ve had this printer, I’ve had issues with pausing and resuming prints. I have a number of models that require me to pause to insert magnets or change filament. Frequently, after resuming from a pause, the print quality degrades substantially, ruining the print.
- This happens inconsistently, but more often than not.
- The issue occurs with all filaments, I had this issue on PLA, PETG and SBS
- Issue occurs for GCODE pauses and also when manually pausing from the touch screen.
- Running a full printer calibration prior to the print doesn’t resolve the issue.
- Printing slower doesn’t resolve the issue.
- Playing around with different temperatures doesn’t resolve the issue.
- Happens with prints from different slicers (I tried Creality Print and Orca).
- The duration of the pause also makes no difference, I’ve had this issue after pausing a print for only 20 seconds.
I found one other person online with the exact same issue, but on the K1, and he does a great job at explaining the issue and also included some photos that also reflect my experience. Please have a look at his post here: https://www.reddit.com/r/FixMyPrint/comments/17p9ki0/inconsistent_extrusion_after_pause_and_resume_on/
Does anyone here knows of this issue or possible fixes/workarounds?
