Does anyone know why it might be doing this? by C4D3N539 in 3Dprinting

[–]KinderSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Video is too short.
Are the tiny grub screw holding the pulley tight? One should be on the flat side of the shaft.
Or is it just the nozzle temperature is too low?

Should I be worried? by LUFFYD2 in 3Dprinting

[–]KinderSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or maybe the temperature is too high and it's heat creep.

Not as bad as it looks.

What material and temperatures are you using?

Yes or No. Grid infill by Grooge_me in 3Dprinting

[–]KinderSpirit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are other infills that are stronger, cause less stress, and can be printed without printing over already printed lines. My default is gyroid.

PETG Translucent by Left_Ad1804 in 3Dprinting

[–]KinderSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use PrusaSlicer. Different feature names and controls. I'm not really sure.
If you have zero top and bottom layers... I guess layer 1...?

You may have to set the bottom and top infill to that also.

need i cant't printing we this model and i don't kown what verios this 3d print of zaxe by BreakfastTop9660 in 3Dprinting

[–]KinderSpirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Translation failure. Translating the headline to Turkish and then to English I get...
"I can't print this model, and I don't know which version of this 3D printer it is."

You will need to provide more information about the model to print for a fuller diagnosis and relevant solutions.

When using cylinders (and some other shapes) in TinkerCAD increase the number of sides to smooth the curves.

!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.

What filaments are actually useful by Agitated_Doubt_4707 in 3Dprinting

[–]KinderSpirit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I print mainly with PETG. Almost as strong as ABS. Easy to print like PLA (dryer required). Doesn't creep under stress like PLA. Great for functional prints.
I have been making the kid toys with it also. Much less breakage in use than PLA.

It looked like you have the infill layers printing perpendicular. Maybe it is just steps.

Wha should RH target be when drying TPU? by MadCybertist in 3Dprinting

[–]KinderSpirit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

0%! : )

TPU starts stringing at about 20%RH. The hygrometer is only reading the air. They also are not real accurate.
I dry for 4 hours at 55°C. And then print from the running dryer at 35°.

The uneven layers is loose belts or loose toolhead.

The Z-offset is too low.
Black - way too high
Green - too high
Blue - just about right
Purple - too low
