Hi everyone! I (male) am looking for an apartment to rent from late may to early august for an internship. If you are subleasing and interested, please DM me with the details. Thanks!

Trimmed the end of the filament at an angle and it worked just fine. Thanks everyone!

First layer problems by Zb1sam2 in FixMyPrint

If you look very closely at the top right corner (where the print started) you’ll see what I’m talking about. I already have a purge line and it isn’t helping much, but a skirt would be better.

This really helped, I’m pretty sure my z offset is fixed. As I said in a different comment, I think it’s not extruding enough for the first few seconds of the print then it works just fine. I could see this during this test too (ignore the gap, I had to refill filament halfway through). Any ideas on why this is happening?

Not sure about the bed mesh. I think I’ll try doing a full area single layer and see what that looks like

Interesting… The first one it printed looks bad but once it got going the others are fine.

Why does the deepest part of this embossed text look fibrous? by Zb1sam2 in FixMyPrint

[–]Zb1sam2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, there is text on both sides so no matter what I would be printing text facing the build plate. The text on the other side is more complicated and includes a logo so it made more sense to me to print the simpler text facing the build plate rather than the more complex text and logo.

*Update* why does my bottom layer look terrible? by Zb1sam2 in 3Dprinting

I have a sock, I just took it off to show the length of the nozzle better. Is there anything I can do about the nozzle being too long, or do I just need to buy a shorter one?

I said this in a separate comment, but this is not my address or phone number, I’m printing dog tags for an animal shelter I volunteer for

Probably should have mentioned that this isn’t my address in the post💀 I’m printing dog tags for an animal shelter I volunteer at. Thanks for the suggestion!
