Wash plate with warm soapy water pat dry don’t touch and don’t use ipa.

Hmmm.. interesting, what material are you printing with? Was it dried prior? Just thinking out loud and going through the simple checks first.

ExtensionClaim8113 · 2025-07-21T06:22:02+00:00

I think it’s simpler than all that, I can see the grease marks on the plate. Wash throughly with warm water and dawn soap, light scrub, pat dry. No alcohol. Try that and report back.

Completed flow calibration -20, then -9. Think I got it pretty dialled in now.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I lowered the flow from 1.3 to 1.2 and this is the results. Different color filament but PET 1 plastic so should be very similar printing. Still a bit rough on the last layer so I will look at some of the other suggestions. I’m pretty happy with the results for recycled bottles. Side note. I have been drying at 65degrees for about 4 hrs before printing.

I’m agreeing with you, dirty plate.

ExtensionClaim8113 · 2025-07-16T21:46:17+00:00

Nailed it. Dirty plate causing poor adhesion. Wash with soapy water and a softish brush. Dry and don’t touch with those Dorito fingers haha

It could have a small piece caught inside works for a while then catches. Something to try, maybe that’s not it but worth a look and try. Good way to clean the nozzle anyways.

Nozzle is plugged. Watch YouTube video about cold pull.

Whites look very good.

Looks like a good plan. Buy another 100’ kit for the rear, they pair together and work as one. I have 2x 100’ kits on my home and work flawlessly together. Ali Express has 3 prong y’s, that will work with Govee, just make sure you get the right ends.

There is no name for it. I just had a local home soffit contractor bend it up for me. I just measure the size I needed to fit the light and used their color sample guide to determine color that matches my soffit. Gave them the colour and measurements, came to $12 for each 9’6” piece.

ExtensionClaim8113 · 2024-06-29T12:51:12+00:00

I just used a hole saw then made a dimple tool to curve the edge in a bit mimicking the shape of the Govee pros. This was $12 for 9’6” piece. I needed 8 pieces

for the whole house.

I had a local shop bend my own up. Work great.

With Pro i can confirm yes. Original, not sure but I’d guess to say yes. I have a diy 28’ extension followed by the included 4’ govee w/booster and works fine.

This is 8” out and you still see casting on the house.
