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 āhairā 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 doesnāt 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 wonāt 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 donāt specify it was spray coated as they donāt 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 donāt have to.
I agree. Iāve been printing now for a little over a year and thought Iād 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. Itās total crap.
Thankfully I got it on a good deal and only bought one spool.
Just came across this - I to bought Creality Soleyin PLA Filament Ultra 1.75mm 3D Printer from Amazon. Shouldāve known really, it had one review, āawfulā - I bought on price, but no matter what settings, it would not adhere to the plate except for once, and it curled on the corners. I had bought the black variant months ago and had 50/50 success with it, I assumed it was me, but over this last week Iāve been running tests and dug out the small white sample from creality, and it printed perfectly. I will be sending the roll back 90% unused and hope they refund as this PLA is not consistent enough IMO to be on sale - I can see others appear to have success with it, but this is not my experience and having ran a more expensive product straight after, with no issues, speaks volumes.
adventures with this junk continues. after a few prints filament just suck inside the reel. impossible to unroll keeps breaking. drying does not help at all. threw about half of the spool away because was afraid it will break extruder.
Iām on my 3rd roll of white and havenāt had 1 fail. Iām using a textured plate though, and donāt mix with other filaments.(It doesnāt stick well to some others)
I am having similar issues, absolute stock settings in creality print will get me to a finished print 8/10 times but i find the bed adhesion even on my cryogrip plates which LOVES PLA and the stock plate with gluestick, is a nightmare and i find it warps super easily and no matter what the first layer is messy. currently printing with pineapple yellow ultra PLA and I have a roll of matte white i havent tried yet.
Had massive issues with two spools of Soleyin. I donāt know why, many users had the same issue on Discordā¦You take one spool, itās awesomeā¦Then another spool with same settings and itās āun-printableā
The only way to fix it was to dry it A LOT (ten hours at least) and that kind of fixed it.
Iāve been trying to print with this stuff since November.
I even got on to creality about replacing 3 of my spools with something else that I know works. They agreed to it and then didnāt email me when they said they would!!
Itās crazy out of 40+ filaments including the harder to print ones.. this stuff just wonāt stick to the bed. Once itās printing itās fine but I wonāt attempt any large prints because it just rolls off the bed while itās laying it down.
The only way Iāve got it to work is ramping the bed up to 90c and then 70c for the rest.
Any nozzle temperature above 180 and itās spitting and oozing everywhere even after drying.
I have other ultra PLA colours by soleyin but the 3 colours im having trouble with are just red orange and mint green.
Terrible customer service. Wonāt be buying creality branded anything again.
Will stick to Elegoo SUNLU eSUN FILAXIX and Tinmorry where I know my money is well spent.
I keep saying this but Iāve had great success with all my prints with PETG and PLA (several different brands) with a COMGROW artic build plate. Iāve printed countless parts without any first layer adhesion issues and donāt use glue or hairspray or any of that nonsense anymore. Havenāt had anything fail first layer since.
Soleyin started showing up relatively recently over here in RSA . Itās priced below most of the other filaments locally. Feedback on our local e-commerce platforms seems to be overwhelmingly positive, but there are also quite a few negative reviews which are similar to the feedback provided by the OP. What I can say is that Soleyin doesnāt quite act like other PLA within the Creality range. I donāt know how the composition of Soleyin differs from the other PLA ranges, but it tends to require drying and doesnāt adhere to build plates in the way that one would expect. That being said, if one dries it (8 Hours @ 50Ā°C in my own experience) and one uses an appropriate build plate, it works fine. All of the spools that I obtained needed drying.
I have to second what @John_Anderson mentioned. The Soleyin PLA seems to adhere best to dedicated cold plates. On Creality printers, I can confirm the the COMGROW (40Ā°C) works. On others Iāve had success with the Geco (ambient temp) and Biqu Frostbite(35Ā°C) plates. With larger prints, detachment occurs on any of the other plates that I have at standard build plate temperatures for PLA. Also note that itās worth calibrating for each of the colours. IME, thereās quite a bit of variance in the properties of various colours. Generic settings/profiles doesnāt seem to cut it with the Soleyin PLA. I had to really dial in each one for optimal results.
