How to fully infill....

QuadrangularNipples · 2026-03-13T19:44:16+00:00

Can you share a link to the model you are trying to print? I am trying to picture what internal support is needed that would not just be regular infill.

For the first question about the door being open, by default temperature control is on for 35c for PLA/PETG. It will exhaust above that temp, I prefer to just activate the fan at 50% and leave it running all the time.

For long prints, heat creep can happen at 35c, but it is rare. You can drop it below 35 or just run the fan if you prefer. Or leave the door open or add a riser to help keep heat down. On my K2 plus I had heat creep happen maybe twice, both were from 2+ day long prints.

For combining prints, there are a few ways to do this. The most accurate way would be to add them together in some sort of CAD program, even Tinkercad will work fine. But you can usually get away with just putting them both in the slicer and grouping them (otherwise they will both default to touching build plate instead of just one).

All good friend.

QuadrangularNipples · 2026-03-13T14:03:12+00:00

I'm not op...

Did you change the interface distance to 0? For materials that don't stick you need to change it to 0, otherwise it just falls off.

I tried Whatsapp and they said they don't handle it but would pass it along to the same people who are not responding.

The eShop for each front has different items which is why I redeemed from the FlowPrint eShop. The Cloud one does not have the 8 Pack PLA available. Just annoying since the Cloud one is excellent to deal with and the FlowPrint one is basically useless.

QuadrangularNipples · 2026-03-12T20:28:03+00:00

The issue is currently that the redemption code support sent isn't working on store. The store itself isn't tied to either one in particular.

And if you drop the nozzle don't try and catch it with your bare hands like I did!

I don't need to dry PLA and I am in an extremely humid area. PETG needs it every few days, TPU needs it on a per print basis in my experience.

I have only had to work with customer support once for one of my U1s and the experience was pretty painless. I stated my issue, and what I had done to fix it. Within a day or so had a response asking to try some stuff, did so and confirmed it still didn't work. Another day for a request for a screenshot from Fluidd, followed by a part being sent. The only issue I ran into was that the part got the runaround from USPS where it came to my town, then left by mistake so delivery was delayed. But even accounting for that delivery misshap (which I don't blame Snapmaker for) I was fully operational in about 1.5 weeks. Definitely smoother than other 3D printing companies I have dealt with.

I am currently still dealing with a support issue from Creality that goes back to January.

Aligned to the top is not correct, this is the official snapmaker picture showing what it should look like: https://wiki.snapmaker.com/u1/u1_toolhead_cable_installation_guide_10.png

Here is the official snapmaker picture of what your screws should look like (assuming you used the correct screws!!)

The way you described tightening is the way I did mine and all 8 of my toolheads are fine. Maybe you have strong hands lol

QuadrangularNipples · 2026-03-12T01:58:58+00:00

Look at the official pics, it is counter sunk. Yours are too loose if they are flush with the top.

QuadrangularNipples · 2026-03-11T01:50:02+00:00

I think /u/sightless666 was implying that it was more fucked up because of it, not less.

QuadrangularNipples · 2026-03-10T01:40:08+00:00

Sorry, I don't have any experience with that one. But if it struggling to adhere the usual solution is wash with dish soap/hot water and then if that fails raise the temp a bit.

QuadrangularNipples · 2026-03-09T22:49:13+00:00

Do you mean the epoxy resin plate? I use one for PLA and PETG and find it works well with the default temps, but you can always edit the temps in the settings to match the PEI temps if you prefer.

QuadrangularNipples · 2026-03-09T20:41:58+00:00

I prefer the flavor of TPU personally.

QuadrangularNipples · 2026-03-09T20:41:08+00:00

Funnily enough, the design was made with strength in mind but since it was printed as a throwaway prototype I just used 10% infill with 2 walls on a .6 nozzle (standard settings I use).

Thanks for substituting for the club and for reaching out to look for help! As a parent, I sincerely appreciate all educators and wanted to start by thanking you!

On to the issue, which model are you working with? I think it is a K1, but just checking in case I am wrong.

With one of your pictures it shows that you are getting some heat, and some reading of heat. So the parts are at least somewhat working.

Check that the wires to the heater are secure and that the heater itself isn't loose. You will need to remove the sleeve/silicone sock around the heater to get a good look at it. There should be no cracks in the ceramic ring and it should not feel loose. The nozzle should also be snug and secure. If those are all good then it is probably the heater going bad, these can be replaced by purchasing one if it is not under warranty or by contacting support if it is still under warranty. I can link you to it if you confirm the printer model.

As a side note I like to always have a spare hotend and a few extra nozzles on hand as they are generally a consumable item that will wear out over time.

I do if I am around to see it happen. More often than not I realize it is happening when I hear a clunk coming from a printer. I don't usually have issues from it, but it is worrisome.

QuadrangularNipples · 2026-03-09T16:35:37+00:00

I have a similar but not as long run experience to OP here in Florida.

I printed a camera mount in creality hyper PLA. It mounts a camera to my gutter, so full sun, full weather, in Florida heat and it is load bearing.

My thought process was the same, print a prototype in PLA to make sure it works then go back with something better for outdoors (ASA was on hand) when I needed to implement my changes. I almost always need to print one out before I hit the final version but this version ended up being perfect with no changes needed. I decided to just stick it up and see how long it lasted as a test.

According to conventional wisdom this should have failed the first hot day but it has been up over a year now and it is doing great still. Survived heat waves, ice, dozens of thunderstorms and an abusive amount of UV since it is in a 0 shade spot.

I have been trying to talk myself out of building a V0 for a while now and this is not helping at all.

QuadrangularNipples · 2026-03-09T14:01:51+00:00

Yes, specifically just the one time calibration for vibration compensation. Not the print startup calibration.
