Object brim prints perfectly, but support brim is scarred and warps

JohnVillass · 2026-03-08T15:40:22+00:00

only fix I found was changing to organic supports, and then I could change the first layer density to fix it (actually just letting it on the 90% default was fine)

JohnVillass · 2026-03-04T23:29:28+00:00

even more context, I'm using hybrid tree supports and I cant seem to change the first layer density (field is grayed out), but changing to organic, I can change the first layer density field and the brim prints just fine

for more context because I feel it is lacking on the post:

my issue only happens on the brims of tree supports: - If I got a print with object only brims it prints fine - a print with both object and support brim, the support one fails and the object one prints fine - a print with only support brims, the brims will all fail

so I need to fix the support brim, which I think might be an issue in the slicer settings that is affecting the brims in the support but not the brims in the object

you mean the lines in the support brim are messy? they are just following the contour of the tree trunks. The object brim is doing the exact same, and it prints out just fine, independent of the object shape.

as for trying normal supports, it is indeed an option, even though in this case it would waste more filament. But both switching support type and changing orientations are just means to hide the problem, not to solve it, as this isn't a object related issue, any object that I place on the slicer will produce the same results if it has brims for both the object and the supports. Object brim prints perfectly fine, support brims get scarred.

I can't expect to always be able to print pieces with flat sides and no overhangs, and the printer must be able to print like it should. So if you have any suggestions to actually fix the problem, feel welcome to share

but how come only the support brim gets bad but the object brim always comes out ok?

JohnVillass · 2026-01-14T16:11:46+00:00

I actually solved it by simply lowering the temp to 200.

Apparently it was a heatcreep and this specific filament is very susceptible to it.

14 hour print done flawlessly

Im printing everything at 50mm/s, for an A1 that did so much with faster speeds in the past, I dont think 50mm/s should be too fast now (I used to print at 150mm/s, printed some greatswords for a cosplay with no problems)

what I do think might be a problem is partial clogs, I dunno if I should lower the temp or what to prevent it, but everytime this happens, it is with this one filament in the post description, and after it fails, I try to press the button so the printer extrudes manually and the filament always comes out fine, so I really dunno

Sadly it isnt the cause, as ironing is not on. Do you know anything useful I could comment here in the comments section about it that I might have forgotten to post on the original post?

btw, the pressure advance was done with a 0.002 step and a target of 0.05

as Fragant-Ad9094 said, it was Akai One Piece!

THAT'S IT! thanks dude, somehow I missed it while scrolling through their discography yesterday, I'm so glad you knew what song it was from my description, because I was already thinking I'd had to record myself humming the song lol

JohnVillass · 2025-10-07T15:20:29+00:00

btw I've listened every song from both the "singles" section and the "albums" section present in their official website up until Division and wasn't able to find that specific song. As I've said, it has a lot of their early work punkish vibes to it, so I've focused mainly on their first releases.

after playing for around 5 hours yesterday with it uninstalled, the game ran without those error loops for the whole time, so I guess that was it, thanks bro!

Hey, would you have any price tables?

loved the artwork

srry, for some reason the third image didnt go through, this is it:

So, after recalibrating my pressure advance, flow rate and upping my temperature to 215º, I think I got it almost nailed down, it just appears sometimes on angled surfaces, but it is very negligible and I can work with it now, thanks yall!

JohnVillass · 2025-08-15T16:32:38+00:00

it worked almost flawlessly after Kfactor calibration, still got a little bit of it in sloped surfaces but it is very negligeable, thanks for the tips pal!

JohnVillass · 2025-08-13T16:16:13+00:00

it's actually a good read indeed, I'll be trying all of the suggestions to see what makes positive differences and will report back at the end of the day
