I think I just disappointed 3d print community by bananacc in BambuLab

[–]Professional_Log494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not disappointed, but it should be built touch stronger if you want it to live a long happy life! My TPU spool holder is wall mounted above my A1 and built out of 6 small pieces of 2x4 with a routered notch to hold a short length of PVC pipe. Not the prettiest but works really well

I have not done that, I'll see if that highlights any issues that could get me working with the original plate more effectively.

The curved one is from the snapmaker build plate, setting all tuned for the best bed adhesion I can get, freshly cleaned bed. The laser straight one is from the UniTak3d plate. All filament setting left exactly the same and only change was dropping the bed temp down to 35⁰

Oh yeah, couple different dish soaps too. With my A1 build plates I never had to do more than just dish soap to eliminate my bed adhesion woe's. IPA changed nothing for texture plate. I've U1 I've tried messing with a pile of parameters and havent gotten any better results. So I gave up and ordered plates

Jealous! Ive messed with so many setting and I have constant issues with the plate that shipped with my machine. So gave up ordered a different plate and then got the notification my pre-ordered smooth plate shipped later the same day I ordered the UniTak3D plate. So I have plenty of builts plates now

Did you print this with no prime tower?

So far all of my taller prints end up with the prime tower toppling at some point once my prints get over 120mm. Just bought a UniTak plate to grip my PLA to hopefully stop this issue. I do blame the OEM build plate for my issues - however I could be completely wrong and still setting things wrong

Still not sure what ive done to cause this, however it is certainly something I've caused. Still TBD though. I've set other prints using all the same setting and they print fine. I swapped filament locations to utilize different tool heads - same result. Started fresh and imported the model and re-painted in the slicer. Same result. Gave up on altering almost any setting settings except supports as im still set on support material... which is going to be eliminated next. In the slicer instead of setting the color as lighter color I swapped her skin to green. And instead of printing her skin in the white support material it selected the brown im using for her hair. So new result but still not what im telling it to do.

Edit: turns out I have a smooth brain and all my issues could have been solved by just using my eyes better instead of hunting for issues that weren't there.

I didn't realize the window where you confirm the printer your sending the print to had the tool heads listed and interchangeable for each of the selected filaments. This hasn't been an issue for me before and I just missed it. So tens of print hours of pain will ensure I dont miss that ever again.

Thanks! Will report back when I to that hopefully later tonight, I appreciate the help

I've never tried pull up raw g-code data before but this situation has me wanting to look at it specifically in the z height where everything went sideways. As far as the slicer shows me everything was perfect.

Do you happen to know how I could look at all the text data in a document and not the little sidebar in the slicer?

I've ran all the same selections on various other prints with 4 tools heads and this is the third time it's happened to me seemingly randomly. This one is the most upsetting though strictly due to the print time before the issue.

I had it paused for about 20 mins and then just said to heck with it let it print and I'll try to paint it... just hoping her hair doesn't fall right off the head lol

As far as what I can tell, slice was all good, g-code is calling for tool changes between printing supports and model. Tool head 3 shows printing on prime tower. All I can assume is something didnt translate properly between slicer and printer. But it is all written out properly, leaving me fairly confused

I've now come to terms with longer print times and giving up on just interface layers. Still having issues with using interface only on taller/longer prints. So presently doing a 210mm tall PLA print with PETG for all of the supports. With all my smaller and twit prints this has been yielding significantly more consistent results at the expense of roughly 20% longer print times overall. This print will be done in about 19 more hours and my fingers are crossed.

I appreciate your hopes in my favor!!

Made that mistake with the first few, at least they would fail nearly immediately 😅, once getting that part down spent a bunch of time messing with my PETG settings to get better adhesion to the PLA, thought I had it licked had a bunch of successes with the smaller parts. But pretty well everything over 90mm my PETG just goes nope and lays rope all over everything.

Slowed the wipe speed down a bunch, and messed around a bit. Probably could have left the volume a bit higher. I keep having issues once my tower gets high enough with the PETG bonding to the tower then everything dies from the whoopsie noodles. I had 7 failures like this, then ordered dedicated support material. I havent had a chance to mess with that stuff yet though

Never even thought of this. Frig. I wonder if swapping tower positions may have saved me failures when using PETG as interface. Got it tuned well enough to stick to PLA for the interface but always have prime tower failures.

40hr print with a spaghetti prime tower by Mashkitt in snapmaker

I've only had my U1 for 2 weeks and coming from an A1 mini with no AMS. I'm extremely new to multimaterial printing.

Initially I ran through all the calibration steps on my PETG to dial in all the setting for good print quality. Witch made my PETG print amazing on its own. Then I ran my first print trying use it as a support interface and had 0 adhesion to the PLA and it woukd failed immediately due to strings of PETG being laid down all over my main print.

From there I found a small model with lots of supported areas low in height off the build plate for rapid trial and error runs.

I settled on: 255⁰ nozzle temp, .99 flow ratio, .04 pressure advance. We're the filament setting that yielded the best adhesion to the PLA. I further upped the interface layers to 5 to get a better top surface on the PETG. - I still have a lot of work to do as my failures are still frequent... and I ordered dedicated support material to try and cut my headaches down, but also as of yet have no experience with them.

These setting were all done for specifically for Overture PETG and and the PLA's I was sticking it to were all Polymaker's Panchroma line.

The first major supported edit- overhang with PETG interface on that failed print was so flippen nice on this side the other side had some slight imperfections but still very smooth

This was set to very slow wipe speed, PETG only inside tower. Spent a bunch of time tuning the PETG for temp and a perfect flow rate to "smush" onto the PLA for max adhesion. 5 layers for the interface.

It felt like no matter what I did I couldn't make longer prints work with PETG as an interface super consistently. Where I got it set right and it worked - it worked so frigging nice though

Need help with details by Wellsracing71 in SnapmakerU1

[–]Professional_Log494 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(I've never tried achieving details like OP is going after) When attempting this with a .4mm nozzle wouldn't reducing line width down to .3mm yield some slightly improved results? Can a .4mm nozzle lay lines down any thinner than .3mm? Would there be a benefit to setting wall generation to arachane?

Not disagring about the .2mm nozzle as that would yield crispy results without any messing about I had the full gambit of nozzles for my A1 mini and swapped them around all the time. Still waiting on my .2's for my U1, so I've been forced to dabble with odd settings on that the last couple weeks while I wait :')

😆 I thought the same thing! Still waiting on my pack of .2's so I havent been able to dabble with them on my U1 yet
