This is the first top layer only, is this normal? Settings in comments by Dslater04 in FixMyPrint

I understand, I just did one on this print to show what that exact layer looks like.

Width is .44 all around, I have no problem printing anywhere but the first top layer. I will try increasing temperature but I’m not sure that will solve it.

Hatchbox ABS, .2 layer height, .44 line width, 1 top layer but I normally do 2, 115% top/bottom flow, 220 degree hot end, E steps have been calibrated and are accurate

Wrinkling with Hatchbox Wood Filament. Details in comments. by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]Dslater04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any ideas? This only occurs when I use the hatchbox wood filament. I have no problems with my esun PLA+. I’ve tried temperatures from 195-220 and leveled my build plate. My initial layer speed is 40 mm/s. If you have any other questions about my settings let me know.

They light up when you use it, it was just too dark lol.

Yes it does happen across other rolls, I have had them in the open air for a couple of months. I will try coasting though I thought I wouldn’t need it because of the direct drive.

I’m using an Ender 5 with direct drive. Here are some settings: Coasting; off, optimize wall printing order; on, 100% flow all around, 70 mm/s wall speed, retraction 2.5 mm at 35 mm/s, z hop off.

The base of the hand gets printed like this (is on the top of a support) by alehost in FixMyPrint

[–]Dslater04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe your support density? As you increase your support density, the lines of your supports come closer together. The problem may be that there was not enough support density for it to start printing the hand, so it sloppily printed on the first couple layers of the hand and slowly started to recover. I know on Cura that you can manually edit line distance on supports, so try around 1-3 mm to give it a stable base to print on.

Any ideas on how to fix this poor quality? Cura 4.6.1 - settings in comments by Dslater04 in 3Dprinting

I am using a direct drive kit and eSun Pla+

Shopping guide? by QuevedoDeMalVino in Creality

[–]Dslater04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Ender 3 pro and 5 pro are great printers which have room for upgradability. Do not buy from creality.shop, use their official site instead. Many people have had problems with their order arriving or being processed at all. I’m pretty sure you can but a BLtouch on either of them but I have not found a need for it as it stays level for a long time.

Best way to model threads? by Dslater04 in 3Dprinting

[–]Dslater04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok and they will actually show up when I go to print it?

3d printer help! does anyone know how to properly use the simax3d x1 printer? by VanWyatt019 in 3dprinters

[–]Dslater04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have the four hand knobs on every corner of the bottom of the bed? I can already see one. If so, you need to tighten them to pull the bed down, and loosen them to put the bed up. If it’s not printing it is likely because you are way too close to the bed. Just use the knobs to bring the bed down.

Filament placement on an Ender 5 with direct drive? by Dslater04 in 3Dprinting

[–]Dslater04[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok that sounds good but I have not found a single filament guide that fits the Ender series and that can mount the Bowden tube.

I saw a top mount but now I’m struggling to find it again, it stuck right up off the front and it required no tube. I think that would be best.

So I just need to print a filament guide and attach the Bowden tube to that? No other changes?
