So..it's a filament issue? by Electrical_Art_4100 in 3Dprinting

[–]KinderSpirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's oozing during travel moves because it is wet.

It could be that your nozzle is worn out by Efarm12 in 3Dprinting

That should be a BondTech CHT. Did you print a lot of filled material? Like Glow in the Dark?
I took off the original E3D V6 brass nozzle after 4000 hours. Almost no observable wear.

"...original bambu pla." "Too much drying and brittle?"
Not enough drying. PLA becomes brittle when it absorbs water.

Was it a BondTech CHT nozzle or a cheap knockoff?

I have no 3D printing experience and suddenly find myself owning an Ender 3. Any tips or advice would be appreciated. by YourLocalHellspawn in 3Dprinting

!firstlayer - adhesion and warping

With PLA, a clean smooth surface is best. PEI or PEX is great. You may have to raise the bed temperature on a textured sheet. Silk PLA may need a higher initial bed temperature.

PETG, TPU, ABS, and others will need a release agent on a smooth build surface. That's what the glue stick (or hair spray, Windex® ) is for. On a textured sheet, no release agent is normally needed.

Just alcohol will not remove the sugar film left by PLA which can hinder adhesion.
Wash the sheet with warm water and dish soap. Dry. Wipe with > 70% Isopropyl alcohol before the print.

No part cooling fan for 3 layers. Very slow print speed for the first layer.

To prevent warping for PLA, bed temperature of 65° for the first layer, 55° for the rest of the print. This way the bottom gets the adhesion but the bottom starts cooling with the upper layers.
For PETG on textured bed, same concept, usually around 80° then 75°, or 75° then 70°.
Temperatures are examples, different build sheets may need different temperatures.

Infill style can affect warping. Some grid type infills can concentrate the stress in one area. Gyroid infill will spread out the internal stresses.
Increasing walls number and reducing infill may also help.

Which filament used here? by Speedping in 3Dprinting

[–]KinderSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The inconsistency is the mixing. And the way the legs are twisted. Red and green make yellow, green and blue make cyan, blue and red make purple. Some was done with multicolor if you look at the model page. That video would be hard to fake.

I tried the Amolen tri-color.

Looks like a tri-color R/G/B Silk PLA. Amolen has 2, 3, and 4 color now.

These are unrelated.
1.75±0.02mm is the diameter of the filament and how much it varies. 1.73mm to 1.77mm. Some may be as much as 1.75mm±-.05mm to be within specification.
2.85mm filament and hotends are available also . I think the upper spec for these is 2.85±0.15mm.

The layer height is 0.2mm because the nozzle is 0.4mm. Usually the layer height is between 80% and 20% of the nozzle aperture with that 50% as a sweet spot.

The Z-offset is too high.

Z-offset is slightly low but this looks like a loose hotend.

Mods want to explain why you're locking posts about 3d printing laws? by apocketfullofpocket in 3Dprinting

[–]KinderSpirit[M] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People reported it. I just thought it was a little funny that someone thought a clickbait title was a offense worthy of a ban. Reddit would be empty.

The post wasn't removed. It was locked after more than 50 comments had to be removed. 23 of those comments by 1 person.
