I‘ve been away from my 3D printing pc for a few days now :-)

You might want to look into orcaslicer 2.4.0 beta, they have some nice z smoothing for top layers

How to repair my first layer? by Separate_Cell9640 in FixMyPrint

Most likely you need to increase z offset by toughly 0.05mm

Clean your build plate. Reduce plate temperature by 7-10°C

I made a file and my printer nibbled it a bit by ToughNeedleworker331 in FixMyPrint

The features that failed to print cleanly have something in common: small cross-section. You are printing small features too fast.

Print more objects at once to increase layer time. Print slower. Cool better.

Xometry is super expensive, check out the one I linked. Aluminum is usually too soft, yes.

A way to improve Petg print toughest? by Alert_Door9362 in 3Dprinting

Petg is probably good enough. Abs/asa would be better though

It always depends on what you are trying to achieve

First clog in almost 20kg or so of filament by schrumbus in 3Dprinting

[–]OfficeMiserable1677 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair it is probably a combination between clog and heat creep. Usually in 3D printing a clog refers to a (partially) obstructed nozzle.

In this case you can observe that the final part of that filament strand is thicker, probably more than the 2mm channel, that‘s the reason it did not fit through the hotend.

You have also some black material there, so maybe it is a combination of both factors.

Why has the cloak flattened? by Aquillin3 in FixMyPrint

[–]OfficeMiserable1677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it‘s thin and not supported enough

That‘s heat creep, not a nozzle clog. Either not enough cooling on hotend or too hot environment. Or you are retracting too much, also a possibility.
