HI am new to 3d print. run into this issue. I had sample of Hyper PLA which came with the printer and I tried generic TPU worked pretty well prints were amazing out of the box. There was sale on Solein Ulta PLA from Creality. I thought why not price was good got a whole case with various colors.
I am trying to print with White Color
this is issues I have:
During initial extrusion filament comes not smooth looks like chunks on the string
During print it creates a mess filament all over the place . String all over the place I mean not “hair” just chunks of filament about .1.-.2 mm.
For smaller parts these chunks pulls them off the bed.
I use standard preset from creality for this filament. I tried increase temperature from 220 to 230 I did not see much difference.
Please advice temperature for nozzle and speed?
Any other setting I should modify?
Is this a junk and good only for trimmer string?
I just wonder what speed you are printing at? Hyper PLA is designed for fast printing at speeds of up to 300mm/s. It is much quicker at melting and cooling.
Check the print speed and try some smaller prints. You can always play around with the slicer settings as one setting doesn’t suit all brands of filament.
My own advice would be tind a brand of filament that you are happy with and stick with that brand.
I think I found the issue. It does not stick to the plate the same way hyper PLA which came with the printer. I had really hard time remove Hyper PLA from the plate, but it just falls off with ultra.
Plus it seems it needs more supports in comparison to sample filament provided by creality.
I Use the Soleyn all the time and it is great, I print at 220 Degrees, standard .4 nozzle and will print at high speed. Be sure to run your first layer a bit slow and increase the first layer height to .3 and you should not have any adhesion issues. Make sure you dry the Filament as I have found some of the rolls are not dry right out of the shrink-wrapped bag. If you have a K2 the textured build plate has some adhesion issues, so be sure to use a glue stick and you won’t have any problems
When in doubt, apply an adhesive to the printing plate. There are a ton of specialty ones, but for the most part simple school gluestick (I use Elmers) works wonders, even with troublesome cheaper filaments. Generally only need to apply a layer every dozen or so prints.
Also, consider swapping the build plate for a nice Powder Sprayed/Painted PEI sheet, avoid the ones that don’t specify it was spray coated as they don’t work nearly as well.
Clean your buildplate often, especially when swapping printing materials as they each have different chemicals than can interfere with the adhesion of others. I generally have to clean my plates if swapping from PLA to PETG, but oddly not the other way around. Though these days I keep multiple plates prepared for different filaments so I don’t have to.
I agree. I’ve been printing now for a little over a year and thought I’d gotten halfway decent at tweaking my printer settings to get decent first layer adhesion/etc
But this stuff will not cling to the bed no matter what. It’s total crap.
Thankfully I got it on a good deal and only bought one spool.
