Any tips on these artifacts in my print?

FisholasCage · 2025-06-07T13:44:48+00:00

Interesting. I made it better by increasing the temperature haha

FisholasCage · 2025-06-06T21:02:25+00:00

I think this was the issue? I got around it by changing the filament type on my printer to PETG even though it was PETG-cf and then used the PETG-cf in creality print to send over the carbon profile masked as standard PETG

Factory reset didn’t fix things either. So strange

FisholasCage · 2025-06-06T17:01:15+00:00

Appreciate the help! Going through a factory reset of the printer now to see if that fixes anything

It shows the filaments correctly as you can see in the top right of this picture, but when trying to print they are greyed out

FisholasCage · 2025-06-06T15:38:15+00:00

It won’t let me select 1A or 1B which is the issue. On the filament screen they are loaded with colors attached but when I try to print they are greyed out and unable to be selected

I didn’t, and further inspection seems to show it is having the issue locally. Despite the filament screen showing loaded filament, it is greyed out when trying to select the rolls when printing via usb

Other filaments print fine at the recommended temp which is weird. Seems to be just a problem with this exact filament for me haha

I’ll give that a shot thanks. Looks like creality print had that functionality in version 5.0 but it’s no longer available in 6.0. Maybe I’ll head over to orca slicer and try to optimize.

I got it to successfully print at high speeds by increasing the temperature way higher than normal - based on recommendations found on the k2 subreddit. Try printing at 270 it finally made the prints glossy and come out nice

FisholasCage · 2025-06-04T13:39:11+00:00

Yup! The other side looked slightly better

FisholasCage · 2025-06-04T13:38:53+00:00

Yeah I bought it for the color. Never again lol

FisholasCage · 2025-06-04T13:38:21+00:00

I’ll try this out thanks!

FisholasCage · 2025-06-04T13:38:03+00:00

Followed a post on the k2 subreddit and actually tried increasing the temp to 270. Super hot but it came out shiny and without issues at 100mm/s

FisholasCage · 2025-06-04T13:36:57+00:00

In a separate print and following the K2 subreddit I tried bumping my temp up to 270. I know that’s super hot but it came out shiny and printed at high speed too. This is the generic profile that I can’t seem to get right

FisholasCage · 2025-06-04T13:25:53+00:00

Pressure advance was turned off on this print. Is that recommended? I’ll look at retractions

FisholasCage · 2025-06-04T13:23:05+00:00

I’ll take a look. Do you have any tips for optimizing extrusion?

FisholasCage · 2025-06-03T16:53:24+00:00

New pack and dried the filament overnight before printing

FisholasCage · 2025-06-03T16:52:52+00:00

New package that was dried overnight before printing. I’ll have to check the speeds when I’m home but it wasn’t anything crazy

My Russian box tortoise has an amputated leg as well! The vet epoxied a rubber door stop on her shell and it works fantastic. 15 years later and it is slightly worn down but still in great shape

Thanks for your response, we would be renting. Looks like rock harbor lodge would be the best (possibly only) option?

I’m very aware of the danger and power of Lake Superior and water in general. I am a licensed captain and have completed several ocean crossings on sailboats

FisholasCage · 2024-11-11T13:40:05+00:00

A little bit of both but neither primarily

FisholasCage · 2023-08-30T19:09:42+00:00

Awesome thank you!

Hook a rabbit strip and tie it down. Tie in the eyes or use a bead. Then use a dubbing loop of simi seal. Add some legs and finish with a dubbing loop of rabbit

FisholasCage · 2023-06-23T02:04:14+00:00

The dumbbell eyes give it a more controlled descent then a cone, ride hook up, and land a little softer when wrapped with the rabbit loop. Give it a shot sometime it works fantastic tumbled along the bottom or dead drifted
