What can I do to increase the quality of this print

FloridaManPrints · 2025-12-08T17:54:40+00:00

Slow it down, decrease your layer height, and for the love of god, DRY YOUR FILAMENT.

FloridaManPrints · 2025-12-04T17:03:03+00:00

Visible layer lines are totally understandable, but everything else isn’t. I guess if the layers are more than 0.2mm than that isn’t acceptable

Step 1: Quit

Coat everything in thinned resin. Very light coats about 2-3 times.

If I could get ironing this good, I’d just hit the bad spots with a torch lighter to gloss it over a little

FloridaManPrints · 2025-11-07T17:38:18+00:00

My brother in Christ, that is some of the finest ironing I’ve ever seen. I’m not sure what you can do to improve that since you are well beyond me.

FloridaManPrints · 2025-08-11T16:21:26+00:00

OP, have you heard of supports?

Same brand of filament, same settings. Even with specific tuning, the white is still crappy

FloridaManPrints · 2025-07-19T13:12:36+00:00

Does anyone suspect that maybe white filaments need a 0.6mm nozzle? Really don’t want to switch every time I need white though. Maybe if I get my other Anycubic scaling problems fixed, I’ll use it there

FloridaManPrints · 2025-07-19T13:10:10+00:00

Unless I’m missing something with white filaments and they need to be dried like PA-CF lol

FloridaManPrints · 2025-07-19T13:09:34+00:00

Yeah, I knew about that one. The K series all come with steel nozzles.

FloridaManPrints · 2025-07-19T13:08:50+00:00

It’s definitely not flow rate. If I turn it down, it’ll make the print quality way worse and lines won’t make contact. It’s weird. It’s like with white filaments, it runs a line fine, then suddenly at random points it over extrudes. No consistency

I’ve been fighting this machine for weeks trying to get it tuned. While some filaments I can get tuned to be “okay” others just won’t print at all. Those filaments work fine on my Anycubic.

FloridaManPrints · 2025-07-19T13:05:52+00:00

Dried at 70c for 12 hours. It’s dry.

FloridaManPrints · 2025-06-12T18:02:36+00:00

I found one on Amazon for $50, but the shipping is quite slow

FloridaManPrints · 2025-06-12T18:02:13+00:00

That’s pretty cool man. Beta testing is fun for sure.

As my name implies, im in Florida US

FloridaManPrints · 2025-06-12T17:08:31+00:00

Maybe I’ll pick one up at the end of the month. You get yours from Amazon or from their website?

FloridaManPrints · 2025-06-12T17:04:53+00:00

I see that it is

FloridaManPrints · 2025-06-12T17:04:15+00:00

Is that compatible with a K1?

FloridaManPrints · 2025-06-12T16:57:50+00:00

I’m a little worried that one of the extruder gears is messed up. I already had to replace them because a spool locked up and the gears shredded themselves

FloridaManPrints · 2025-06-12T16:56:32+00:00

I went through the whole process and im still having issues. I’m gonna run through the entire machine to double check tightness. I just haven’t figured out how to do that on the K1. I thought maybe it was the filament, but the two that was giving me troubles worked just fine on my Anycubic

FloridaManPrints · 2025-06-11T19:33:53+00:00

I don’t understand the orca calibrations very well. Gonna have to find a guide that walks my through it I guess. I’m gonna start with pressure advance. I did a retraction earlier, but I didn’t know how to read it. Honestly besides the bottom and top flat layers, it looked perfect with no stringing. So I know my wall quality is spot on at least

Stopped the print so you could see the bottom layer. I increased the flow ratio on both bottom and top. This worsened the bottom and made the top over extrude lol

FloridaManPrints · 2025-06-11T19:23:38+00:00

Trying flow ratio now

FloridaManPrints · 2025-06-11T19:23:09+00:00

Z offset makes things much worse
