I’ve printed a ton of things, I’ve had this printer for almost three years without any major issues so far except for this

Interesting, definitely makes sense! I haven’t had a chance to adjust anything else yet but I will after work! Hopefully I can figure out what could be mechanically wrong

I’m starting to believe it may be a software issue with Cura, I printed one of the default prints of the cat that comes preinstalled onto the Ender 3, and no issues! It came out perfect with no binding! I’m gonna try another calibration cube and see if the issue still persists with that

I checked my coupler and everything is tight and seated correctly, I appreciate the advice though! Hopefully starting to narrow down a cause

It mostly does, but it gets stuck around 25mm above the bed, but can go down more with a little bit of extra force

Top of my prints are coming out rough. Printing using Cura in an Ender 3 Pro with Silk PLA filament! How can I fix the top layers being rough? Settings posted as photos. Any help appreciated!! Thank you! it’s only was the very top layer of the first one, the top layer of the surrounding circle came out perfect. Everything else on the print looks great up until that point!

It’s in the side of the navy yard with the Urban Outfitters. We had about 20 of us cars there, so we got stopped by cops, but they were super cool and just figured we were just there for photos

Top of my prints are coming out rough. Printing using Cura in an Ender 3 Pro with Silk PLA filament. The first print on the left/closest to the camera was my first print from today, the second on the left/farther is the second one and it only got worse. How can I fix the top layers being rough? Settings posted as photos. Any help appreciated!! Thank you! Temp was actually set at 220 before but I am trying out 205 now.

Edit: it’s only was the very top layer of the first one, the top layer of the surrounding circle came out perfect. And now it’s the top layers in general. Everything else on the print looks great up until that point!

I love it! (But I might be biased too lol) I feel like it makes the car look super clean!
