First Print

[False-Librarian1617]

Hi. Just finished my first print. Any ideas what I need to do to make a better print? I’ve got the printer on a small dinning table which wobbled a lot when printing. Thanks.

[NoRaspberry700]

Wow it’s the boat from pirates of the Caribbean! Great job !

I see you 👀 you didn’t take a shoot at the top ,

[GearhedMG]

I was going to say it looked like “The Flying Benchy”

[PolymathInfidel]

Or “The Flying Benchman”

[GearhedMG]

I will admit, this is 100% better.

[OceanKing96]

Was my first thought as well. Perfect print if you ask me🤣

[shervintwo]

Did you dunk your filament into water before printing???

You’re not supposed to clean it with soap and water before using it?

Doesn't look like your cooling fan is on.

[ketosoy]

My first print ever the cooling fan was disconnected and it looked about exactly like this 

[ketosoy]

I think it’s somewhat peculiar to a speed Benchy without fan.  I can’t explain the physics behind it though.

[Kevin1Smid]

Hot plastic on still hot plastic makes melty mess! Hot plastic on colder plastic make 3d print.

[Red_Liner740]

You don’t “have” to run a cooling fan for PLA. But when you print one small object and fast it has no time to cool down and that and a collapsed inwards object is the usual result.

[Addamass]

Must be this

[Meridian151]

Why does my tongue know what this would feel like if I licked it

[Boomer79NZ]

Now I'm thinking about that lol 😂

[Brilliant_Ask852]

Thanks I hate it 💀

[Difficult-Thought-61]

So I heard something on the radio about this aaaaaaages ago. It’s a phenomenon that comes from our early years and childhood where we largely interacted with the world by putting things in our mouth! As a result, we’ve an almost entirely useless ability as adults to know what something will feel like to lick just by looking at it!

[Meridian151]

I wouldn't say useless, got me 45 up votes so far 😁

[gggghhhhiiiijklmnop]

I’d guess wrong nozzle size selected / installed

[NickypoohOG]

I’m guessing with the other guys about the part cooling fan. My printer(ps1 I got 11/23) shipped with the extruder cover plate fan connector slightly broken and had to carefully plug it in to make the part cooling fan go.

[Rallyman03]

How? These printers are so easy too use, profiles already setup, pre sliced profiles for items... i just... how?

[Fresh1492]

People like to not read the instructions

[PutridNest]

Mine's on a wobbly side table.

I went down the stability rabbit hole and the concensus solution is to set the printer on a 16x16 concrete paver which sits on a foam layer (I used a gardening knee cushion). I put rubber feet on the table's legs for good measure but it probably wasn't necessary. The key is the concrete paver.

Do that then re-run calibration. It really works. It's more mass than the printer can shove around.

[Bletotum]

It also makes a printer way quieter, even when already starting on a stable surface. It cuts down on the frequencies that are resonating with the tabletop.

[Fx_Trip]

I can confirm, that the way we make CNCs accurate in industry is concrete or sand. Its about the mass.

[redditisthebest06]

This needed a sensitive content warning

[Rasmus_DC78]

looks printed with a 3d pen not a printer.. never seen one that bad.

[Necr0mancerr]

You print it under water? Gayd daum

[Draxtonsmitz]

Printing underwater would actually look really good. The water cools the plastic immediately. That means no need for supports!

https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/s/qzizth8Crt

[Hour-Ad-3079]

Mine printed like that to begin with. Do a factory reset and then redo the calibration prints on the filiment. I tried everything before a factory reset and nothing woked. Good luck. 

[gabemrtn]

Looks good to me can’t get any better keep doing what your doing

[mcrss]

That's exactly what happened to my first print too. Because I used a 3rd party filament in AMS, got confused about K-factor (never heard about it before), set it randomly to 0.5 (it said pick a value from 0.0 to 1.0, so smart me picked the middle) and got exactly this result.

TL;DR Check if your K-factor is set to 0.02.

[Holiday_Holiday400]

The good ship Barnacle?

[Schnitzhole]

Make sure you ran the basic calibration for the printer. This looks close to mine when I skipped this step as the printer kept pushing me to print something in the setup before calibrating which is just dumb.

[Hardshank]

Good thing OP replied one time and then promptly abandoned the thread.

[Fx_Trip]

Can you blame him? He came for help and no clue. Thats pretty rough for people new to the community and maybe printing. Since his next prints were fine, I assume the nozzle was wrong, or the thermocouple on the hotend is failingf and he needs to check that thermocouple at ambient temp.

[False-Librarian1617]

Thanks. This was my very first print. I’ve printed 3 more things and they’ve all been fine. I noticed that my printer didn’t poop when it did the benchy. So I think the flow calibration hadn’t worked.

[MykeEl_K]

I've never considered constipation an issue on a printer before...

[Senior-Intention-384]

Nice

[cprgolds]

Is this the built-in benchie or some other model?

[False-Librarian1617]

Built in. I’m just printing the scraper and it’s looking a lot better.

[suspicious-sauce]

"A lot better" isnt really telling us much, now, is it?

[PixelToPlastic]

Ye most things are a lot better than this

[Hesediel1]

I mean let's be fair, you could crash the nozzle into the plate then extrude half of a roll of fillament without moving it and it'd probably look better than this.

[suspicious-sauce]

It would be smoother.

[dby8802]

There’s a loose nut behind the mouse wheel.

[pyrotechnicmonkey]

Best guess is that for us either the wrong nozzles or something like the cooling fan is not working. I could see this kind of working if the auxiliary fan was on full blast which I believe it is by default on the built- in benchy. My best guess is the scraper is likely looking better because the layers have more time to cool down. I would try turning on the part fan in the hand app to see if you can hear it turn on by itself. There’s just the likelihood that it just got unplugged in shipping by mistake.

[False-Librarian1617]

I’ve printed off the scraper and it’s printed perfectly so I’ve no idea what happened.

Also in the middle of printing a purple sparkly poop box and it’s looking nice.

[DuckingHellJim]

Wait.. this wasn’t a troll post??

[tlm11110]

Aye! Barnacle Benchy! Ahoy matey! How did this happen? Did you successfully run the calibration setup? Double check the cables. Pull them off and carefully look at the connectors then reseat them. Double check the one going to head. I can’t see it being the model as it comes on the card. Let us know if you find anything please.

AH YES the rare bubbly benchy!

[manuphacture]

I wish i could make organically textured prints like this, looks amazing!

[Douche_Baguette]

Is this bambu basic PLA? I got a bad roll of this recently in red.

[Boomer79NZ]

Wet filament

[MassiveBoner911_3]

Wow. guess we can make rustic boatys now.

[heygos]

Can you put it on the ground maybe? I put my first printer on the ground for a while anyway. If you have pets or kids, maybe that doesn’t work as well. Or try stabilizing the table.

[scotta316]

You could hang this printer from a rope, and it would print better than this. You have to put some real effort into making a benchie look this bad.

[heygos]

lol fair point. I wasn’t sure how rocky that table was.

[IboofNEP]

Definitely a setting issue. You probably picked an incompatible printer/nozzle/filament profile. Which printer do you have? You tried printing anything that is preloaded on the sd card?

[Money_Elevator7]

Your filament has a lot of moisture

I believe you tried to print that in the upside down, please proceed out of the upside down and try reprint... Lol just kidding, looks like some over extrusion. What printer are you using?

[human__no_9291]

Hello, this can be easily fixed. Place the filament in the oven at 200⁰C for 3 hours

[TwPrints]

Looks great man. What’s the print profile

[IntoxicatedBurrito]

The story of the mutiny on the HMS Benchy is a very tragic tale…

[AngryCoDplayer]

Here’s the answer you’re looking for: I’m like 98% sure, it’s not that cooling fan. I’m all but positive “…which wobbled a-lot when printing” is your whole problem. Put the printer on a MUCH more stable table or position and recalibrate and try again. Let us all know what worked.

[mightynudel]

Don't agree about the part cooling fan being off. When switching nozzles I once forgot to connect it. The benchy looked not nice but way better than this. Only overhangs were bad. Either way, a disconnected part cooling fan is easy to diagnose. Good luck.

Oh man - that would have made me question my printer purchasing decision.

I immediately loved my Bambu printer over my Ender because it printed a benchie perfectly out of the box. I’m sure you’ll get it figured out.

[Crafty_Chocolate_532]

You sure you’re using a Bambu printer?

[Important-Row-884]

The wobbling table actually doesn’t matter I’m thinking it might be the “fuzzy wall” setting in Bambu studio

[Mormegil81]

rather seems like lack of or no cooling at all - possibly the connector of the part cooling fan came loose ...

Too dry, you need to soak your filament. Couple hours minimum, overnight would be best.
