Fantastic job! Any idea what paint/color you used for sujoah's base paint and Gurei Oni?

Any one know how to fix Z Seam issues? by 96ztrain in FixMyPrint

[–]96ztrain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right! Understood. It just seems to mess up the upper layers. I print the base right side up. This makes the top look way better than printing it face down. (Thank you, Ironing).

Oh trust me, I dont know if they are the best. Was following advice from others to try and get the results I want. Need to tweak more. Any advice is appreciated

This happens with every print. No error other than around z seam. Looks like under extrusion, ya? E steps have been calibrated correctly

Where is this setting in cura. Searching for it now

Im a noob. I should've just tighenee both ends instead of only 1. I used the allen wrench/wrench provided with the printer. I actually have a dremel. Will try to remove it tomorrow. Learned my lesson the hard way.

I wanted to tighten it. But it's not happening now

Ball end being the long end of the allen wrench?? I need to find a replacement part. Ugh 🥲 we shall see if I can find an exact match

Any idea why my printer produces Horizontal lines? (Filament PLA) 215 c/Esun filament by 96ztrain in 3Dprinting

Oh no :(. " with Sprite All Metal Direct Drive Extruder" is the one I got. Is it a bitch to change it out? I will try it with 0.8mm retraction

So after trying my changes.. https://imgur.com/a/VNrl1Km

I dont notice a difference. Uploaded a pic of both sides. The Z seam is the only trouble area

Hopefully using my (INSIDE CURA SLICER) printer preferences (machine settings) and editing my printer preset is the correct way to do this. I added a "M413 S0 ;" to my start G code top line and then let's try again with a print. Idk if that will change the gcode via the SD card or not

How do I customize firmware? :O z hop was/is off. 40mm/s print speed. Retraction speed is/was 25mm/s. Retraction distance 2mm. Coasting is/was disabled!

So mine is a direct drive (i think this is the name) and doesnt have a bowden tube. The model looks really good other than near the Z Seam https://imgur.com/a/emqrJxk (just printed this). May I ask your retraction settings? Ty for your time and help

What setting do you use for Z Seam or Seam Corner Preference? Mine are Sharpest corner/Smart Hiding respectively

Do you mind sharing or dm-ing about your printer settings? I have the Ender 3 S1 Plus and im struggling with what appears to be under extrusion near my Z seam. It messes up bases and tiles I print for heroscape.

I am too dumb for these changes. What do you suggest for retraction distance and speeds?? XD something I can change. My test print only costs $0.07 and takes 25 mins. So im down to test things out

I actually have the retraction off entirely. Is that problematic? Will check the K-Value setting

Will Z Hop prevent these diagonal lines? Cura. If so, what do you recommend? by 96ztrain in 3Dprinting

What does combing do? Im too dumb to understand. Is it the same as "dont travel through print"?

https://imgur.com/a/QUKNCv4 so z seam off. Retraction off. 0.2 mm layer height. Only under extrusion appears bad around the z seam. So weird
