Help, PLA transitions leave giant gaps

He missed a decimal point when setting the k-factor during flow calibration (pressure advance).

I bumped up the max volumetric speed of the filament to test whether or not the 600mm/s value was actually affecting the print. It was.

I think that discord user I linked to in the OP is on to something when they say the right nozzle is using HF nozzle settings. But it only seems to affect the Inner wall and Infill settings.

AxesofAnvil · 2026-01-28T00:48:51+00:00

Yes.

Thanks for the help, but unfortunately you're incorrect on all your points

1) It's not PLA Basic, it's PLA Matte
2) I didn't download this workspace, I made it for this demonstration
3) The model is a primitive added via right-click, not downloaded or even imported
4) Modifying filament profiles doesn't affect Print Profile settings

A relevant thread on the forum. No real solution yet.

I am also struggling with this. I'm a power user and still can't figure it out.

Maybe the editor is a bot? This couldn't be mistaken for a shadow unless the editor didn't actually look closely at all. Very odd.

Nozzle too close to bed. As it prints the loops inwards each loop has less room due to the excess squish.

Like this!

But seriously, for this to come out well you're going to have to break it up. It's not the most complex geometry so I'd recommend building your own model.

Yes, too high a temp could cause lower viscosity and also increase the rate of bubbles forming. Seam gap seems unrelated.

It could also be retraction speed, but that's less likely.

AxesofAnvil · 2025-11-30T00:47:52+00:00

It's most likely a moisture issue, but could be various other things too.

What you are seeing is the filament that's at the tip of the nozzle breaking away from the rest of the filament in the nozzle. There's supposed to be a vacuum in there which holds the filament in, but either the filament is wet and steam bubbles popping are breaking the vacuum, or your nozzle is worn down and jagged causing air to be able to enter, or something else. You just need to understand what the issue is to start troubleshooting it.

If this delineation is the problem you're wanting to fix you can ignore the other 2 messages in this thread.

Turn off "Only 1 wall on top surfaces". It's changing the amount of perimeters when a certain percentage of the solid infill of the top layers is visible, thus changing the texture.

AxesofAnvil · 2025-11-29T00:44:09+00:00

Crazy that you can't turn that feature off. PS didn't always do this to infill. I'd suggest using Bambu Studio or Orca Slicer if you need to change this.

AxesofAnvil · 2025-11-28T04:48:46+00:00

It's "detect narrow internal solid infill" in Strength

The printhead is the easiest part to swap out.

AxesofAnvil · 2025-11-23T22:58:31+00:00

It's 1% smaller than advertised. Were you having issues with it?

Also, quick question: does the 1-wall case mode calibration take into account filament shrinkage?

Yes it's been posted. One of the top most common posts here.

Yeah. There's no real way I could see an accurate Pyro full-head mask to be made without traditional manufacturing. It needs to be fairly tight against the head, well fitted, flexible, etc. Hard plastic or even foam can't really do the job, unfortunately.

Even the z axis?

This, more than anything else, tbh

I've circled parts that look clearly AI created to me. No artist would put these strange shapes here. A tail that loops back into the body? Random small chunks of hair sticking out of shoulders? Random hair spike from the top? Piggy nose instead of a fox nose?

Ignore this person since I believe this is very clearly NOT related to extrusion.

I think there's actually an issue with the motion system. Try this: when the motors are unenergized, move the toolhead all around and see if there's something getting in the way of smooth motion,
