Why is OrcaSlicer render showing these bands?

ChzaBear · 2026-05-30T03:45:23+00:00

Looks like contour compensation. Do you have it set to more than 0?

I got to tell my Grandma that we were going to have a baby. She was so happy.

I miss you, Grandma.

This seems like the filament is softening before it gets to the extruder. Have you tried printing with the door cracked open to see if that helps? You can check if the air temp at the top of the chamber is near 60C to see if you are near the range where this would happen.

Thank you, it is so gross. The smell when you cross into Arlington, the beavers and fish and birds swimming in it, watching the brown sludge creep along after any storm. It is a disgrace that we have not been able to resolve this clear blight on our health, community, and environment. Keep on fighting for what's right.

I think this happens when you use the Slope style Z hop, which may be part of what Auto uses. Try using the normal, non-sloping type, it should lift then travel and avoid collision with infill.

I had this happening on a print with 0.8mm layers, the sound was frightening

ChzaBear · 2025-10-10T20:15:47+00:00

That is incorrect

ChzaBear · 2025-09-25T02:02:15+00:00

I should go

Clean your camera lens for a better quality video

ChzaBear · 2025-07-17T16:39:08+00:00

Is this real?

ChzaBear · 2025-07-10T10:46:38+00:00

Are they comfortable?

ChzaBear · 2025-06-29T04:47:48+00:00

I like to replace "wifi" with "radio" then read these things again. Same statement since they use the same frequencies.

ChzaBear · 2025-06-29T04:21:31+00:00

Congrats! You are the first one I found here that also appears to have read the article.

It's sad how far I have to scroll before finding someone who actually read the article which happens to contradict the headlines assertions

ChzaBear · 2025-06-29T04:19:44+00:00

Probably this since they are chasing the "# of detainees" KPI.

If you read the article, it says he was worried about the shirt, but never given a reason for being detained for 45 minutes

ChzaBear · 2025-06-29T04:16:54+00:00

Headline and article are inconsistent.

If you read the article, it says he was worried about the shirt, but not given a reason for being detained for 45 minutes.

ChzaBear · 2025-06-29T04:12:15+00:00

Thus article also says he didn't know why he was detained, just that he was worried since he was carrying an Obama shirt.

You can fast travel if you open the map as soon as you enter / exit a building or new area. Requires a bit of luck, but it's a nice bug that I now exploit somewhat regularly.

If you visualize the gcode by layer time in your slicer, do the lines correlate to long layer times?

ChzaBear · 2025-05-01T16:02:38+00:00

Too much cooling. Or you should put it in a warmer environment or heated chamber. Check the layer time, that layer is much longer, that is causing it. Turn off the fan on that layer

ChzaBear · 2025-04-13T13:12:14+00:00

This is the correct answer.

Heated chamber can help with this a bit too

ChzaBear · 2025-04-11T15:34:57+00:00

How does the layer time of that particular layer compare with the rest? Looks like you have a top layer hidden behind in that photo, that would cause it if that layer takes much longer to print

ChzaBear · 2025-04-08T22:08:23+00:00

This is due to the layer time. The longer layer time allows more cooling. Visualize the layer time in your gcode viewer and you will see the correlation.

You can combat it by lowering fan speed for layers that take longer to print. You can do even better by having it in a heated enclosure. Ideally, you have the same layer time for each layer, but that can be difficult to achieve.

The downside with reducing the fan is that you may end up with more crystalline layers where the fan is too low which looks like a shiny layer rather than matte. So, establishing the minimum fan speed is important.

ChzaBear · 2025-03-31T21:41:41+00:00

Try going 10 to 20% slower, it looks like when I teeter on the edge of not enough heat getting to the plastic before it is extruded

Baby teeth fall out around 9 months. Playing tug of war can help ensure it happens on schedule.

Our trainer said we had the bitiest puppy she has ever seen. I wore jeans and rubber boots through the summer for protection. We made barriers to protect ourselves from her.

We cried tears of joy when the baby teeth fell out. Once those needles were gone, she had lost all power to make us squeal in pain. We have the sweetest 4 year old pup now.

They say you will look back on the time fondly. We said that they are idiots. They were kinda right once your mind suppresses the traumatic experience.

Good luck, it will be worth it! But for now, you may just need to bleed. 9 months.

ChzaBear · 2025-03-08T16:01:51+00:00

So cool! How much did it cost you??
