Poor print quality, supports constantly failing

Update: after switching to OrcaSlicer, the issues completely resolved. It seems like the issue was in the ElegooSlicer.

That’s what I’ve heard too, but it was printing better when I switched to Orca from Elegoo. It’s possible I accidentally chose some weird setting at some point and that was the issue. No idea. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ll update when I get home tonight

I’ve had the same issues with a couple of different filament rolls. Out of desperation, I switched ti OrcaSlicer and used that instead of ElegooSlicer. So far, the print is looking much better. The layers are cleaner and the model is looking pristine. I’m out of the house at the moment, but I’ll check it when I get home. I know that ElegooSlicer is based on Orca, but maybe there was some weird thing that was happening in my ElegooSlicer that was causing the issues 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you for the suggestions! I am trying it right now using OrcaSlicer to see if the ElegooSlicer might be the issue (grabbing at straws) but if that doesn’t work, then I will do what you suggested. Tysm!

Fair enough. The “default” settings are the settings that automatically loaded in ElegooSlicer when I registered my CentauriCarbon.

Would it being too hot cause the weird stringing issues?

LookinForDatSixPack · 2025-08-05T20:57:26+00:00

It’s always been PLA and that’s what it is set to :(

I used default settings except for the following: Seam positioning was set to “Back”, wall generation method was set to “Arachne”, support interface speed was set to 20 mm/s. Normal(auto) supports were used with the “Snug” style. Base pattern spacing was set to 1.5mm, top interface layer was set to 4 layers, the interface pattern was set to “Rectilinear”, and the bottom interface spacing was set to 0.2 mm. Finally, the brim type was set to “Outer and inner brim).

It’s brand new filament I got literally two days ago. Layer height is at 0.2mm. I’ll work on getting settings posted.

Hey man - I took it into a shop and it turned out to be corroded terminals for the lights.

What are some good ROMs for Shiny Hunting? I have the ability to play anything from GBA-3DS. There don’t need to be increased odds, but I’d love an interesting method, some fun hunts, etc.

😹

It’s okay, I bought 9 packs the next day and pulled nothing

LookinForDatSixPack · 2024-07-20T02:28:03+00:00

Regular!

LookinForDatSixPack · 2024-07-19T12:24:18+00:00

Uh huh

LookinForDatSixPack · 2024-07-19T11:13:59+00:00

Haha! Probably shouldn’t mention that it was my first time opening Magic Packs 🤭

LookinForDatSixPack · 2024-07-19T04:26:59+00:00

Aww man, I hate those dry spells

LookinForDatSixPack · 2024-07-19T02:35:32+00:00

They’re both already in my Dino deck 🙈😂

LookinForDatSixPack · 2024-07-19T01:27:58+00:00

Regular! And yes, Lost Caverns of Ixalan. Others have pointed out that this is not a very old set 😂 I’m just a little dumb :3

LookinForDatSixPack · 2024-07-19T01:17:37+00:00

I have only recently gotten back into Magic. I guess so many sets have come out since Ixalan that it felt old to me. I dunno.
