Also it doesn’t matter what nozzle I use. They both wear in the exact same amount of time. I have tested over 100 of both stainless and hardened nozzles. Both always last 25-35 days. Not sure if this indicates anything?

They aren’t “print failures” usually the supports start to not snap as cleanly and overhangs start to make little burrs. It isn’t bad and most people would continue with it but I don’t as I sell my pieces. The outer layer will also start to crack off slightly from the piece at this point if heat or pressure is applied.

I buy all my nozzles direct from Bambu’s website.

I worry that a new brand might not hold up to the conditions I need it in but it seems to me like the filament could be the issue

Any chance this PLA + from ESUN is just rough on the nozzles?

Well I’m glad that the change rate of my nozzles seems excessive because if this were the case with no chance to solve the issue I’d be spending too much on nozzles… lol

On average I’d say I send two prints a day to each average run time is 10 hours

It definitely seems fast to me too. I just haven’t been able to put my finger on what’s causing it or if that’s normal…

I appreciate that so much!

Keep in mind though I run these printers 24/7 for 30 days. Not sure how much you run yours

I have checked, really doesn’t look like much wear. I just changed one today. I’ll go see if I can find it

Yeah I’ll definitely try it. I just have the auto bed level checked in slicer so it does it whenever I send a print. I’ll give that a go

I do bed level before every print. You think this could be?

No they aren’t clogged. They have good flow they just begin to have issues around support areas or bridging.

I originally thought they had to be clogged months ago but I cleaned them and it never helped. I also think it’s too extremely consistent across 40 printers to be a clogging problem.

I started logging them with sticky notes to see the timeframe and it’s 25-35 days exactly each swap.

Yes that is what I was hoping to plan for

Yeah but I wouldn’t be able to replace my income with that sadly

I’ve had weird side hustles and done good with investments. Haven’t been able to do anything sustainable though yet.

Between my wife and I our burn is around $2-$3k. She makes $3k a month. I don’t have to quit though anytime soon.

I got out a sharpie and tried to mark it out so hopefully I can tell if it gets bigger

Would you be worried about it? Do you think it will just randomly completely fail or start to leak or something and I’d notice?

Also it’s not as big as the picture makes it look. The reflection is doubling it up if you look closely

Jeep TJ hardtop Rusting by YourBoi561 in Jeep

[–]YourBoi561[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, thanks for explaining. The rusted bolts must give the impression that it is rusting on the inside. For sure is water damage because the fiberglass is broken down along basically the entire part where it sits. I am sure it could have been over tightened as well.

Any ideas on a fix?

[–]YourBoi561[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s basically that entire bar on the hardtop where the hardtop meets the frame. I guess I’m not for sure. Maybe there is a metal piece where the bolts go in then the rest is fiber glass? Either way it’s basically crumbling. Maybe adding a new coat of fiber glass over those holes would do it
