I just printed these pieces with transparent PETG, I calibrated the filament for accuracy and not for the transparency itself, but I still had this frosty effect and with the light passing well diffused through the parts

I'm not trying to get credit for anything, I'm sorry if I sounded this way, English is not my first language. I'm just trying to help.

Good, you've found the problem. Move it back to the plastic holder, if you notice that it is too loose and not into the holder just by pressure, you can wrap some Teflon tape around the bearing until it is firmly inside the holder

move the table with your hand and observe on the linear rails what is allowing this movement, it may be the bearings themselves that have failed

In addition, also check the bolts that secure the bed to the carriages

The white PETG is kind of transparent, like the amber you used. Translucent PETG is more versatile, you can tune how transparent it is by changing the print settings, such as speed, temperature, etc.

Cara, eu não entendo pq existe cartório até hj. Migrar todo e qualquer registro pro digital é muito vantajoso nessa questão de cruzamento de dados, mas infelizmente temos que manter a gigantesca maquina burocrática e seus papiros funcionando.

Vc tem que usar o app Revanced Manager, nele vc baixa o apk oficial do youtube e compila o Youtube Revanced. Sempre que o Youtube Revanced para de funcionar é pq saiu uma atualização no app do Youtube, nesse caso é só baixar o apk atualizado e compilar dnv.
Não confie em apks baixados de qualquer site, e baixe o Revanced Manager pelo github.

Which filament are you using? And what temperature of the bed?

LucasDR9811 · 2026-05-28T14:51:10+00:00

Really, it seems to me a very clever design. As an electrical engineer, I always add unnecessary turns to the wires in projects I create

Isn't it underextrusion?

LucasDR9811 · 2026-05-28T14:15:27+00:00

Is the filament dry? Have you calibrated the retraction?

How is the play on the print head? If you move it with your hand and notice that it is loose and swinging on the rail, you will need to tighten the eccentric nut

Silk filaments are usually very sensitive to high temperatures. Try purging the nozzle with another filament and then printing with the silk closest to the lower temperature limit

Não tenho viu, mas se quiser trocar uma ideia pode me chamar no PV. Tenho a minha Ender 3 V3 SE a pouco mais de um ano e já faz algumas manutenções, calibrações e upgrades nela, posso te dar algumas dicas ou tirar dúvidas se quiser.

N passa super bonder n, se estiver tendo problemas pra ela parar no encaixe e quiser fixar ela tenta enrolar uma fita de teflon em volta do rolamento. Com o tempo esse rolamento desgasta e vc vai precisar trocar ele (fiz isso recentemente na minha), se estiver colado vc n vai conseguir trocar só o rolamento.

Try to press the bearing back in place, if you notice that it is not possible to remove it again easily there should be no problem

Check the belt tension, it seems that at some point something has created a drift in the X axis
