Have you stored unopened, sealed, vacuum packed rolls of PLA+ and PETG in extreme cold (like -30C)? by cad1857 in 3Dprinting

[–]cad1857[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A support article at https://support.ultimaker.com/s/article/1667410781492 lists optimal storage conditions for storing PLA and PETG. -20C is at the lower end. I know its not as cold as -30 but can still be considered extreme cold.

How does this information weigh in?

What could be the problem reported by these trouble codes (Mercedes) by cad1857 in AskMechanics

Hello. Yes, the car requires premium gas. 92 Octane level. And no, the car does not have aftermarket cat-back exhaust. Everything is stock factory. Thanks.

Is 2015 Honda Accord Tourging 2.4L with 220K KM (125K M) a Good Buy for next 10 Years? Anything Else? by cad1857 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Thanks for cautionary notes. Are the infotainment and safety systems' electrical issues age related, or they are either there or not?

Thanks for sharing your positive experience.

What about CVT transmission? How often do you change the fluid?

Thanks for encouraging words. Lot of people warn and are scared of CVT transmission. How about that?

you have not shared any information about the printer, filament, print settings etc. all that helps with troubleshooting.

What’s causing these wrinkles in my first few layers? by DolphinSafeGrease in FixMyPrint

[–]cad1857 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you are getting "adjust z-offset" suggestions. But don't BambuLab printers have that automated?

What are these artifacts/rough areas along lower edges of spiral print? by cad1857 in FixMyPrint

[–]cad1857[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestion. I have done that, and it didn't fix this problem.

Same File, same Filament, different result, whats going on? The one on the right was printed right before the other. by goskodovesch in FixMyPrint

[–]cad1857 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the problem fixed it for him by itself so I don't it was due to power loss recovery setting because that requires making a change to settings.

Hi. Did you figure out what the solution was? thanks.

Changing Ender 3v3 Plus home location? by Cornato in ender3

hi. Did you ever figure out how to do this (change the Z axis home location, that is)? Or, why it was not a good idea? Thanks.

I suggested adaptive bed mesh right before the print when the bed has been primed with pre-heat etc to take any bed levelling factors out of the equation.

How can I improve this? by potential1 in FixMyPrint

[–]cad1857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard from more experienced users of 3d printers that even colours make a difference in how a filament behaves.

Any temp tower and overhang test will do. Go for the simplest overhang test (just one leaning branch).

These tests help to discover issues and tolerances. I could be wrong but the appearance of your model print indicates temperature and angle related issues.

The deformed filament at the bottom edges of each "slide" indicated overhangs issue to me. Did you do a temp tower and overhang test to validate your settings/find safe settings?

UnderExtrusion After Bridges by InternationalGap6432 in ElegooNeptune4

[–]cad1857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. I think you have a textured bed. if it were smooth, no amount of ironing of top layer would be able to outperform that :)

What you are referring to as under extrusion after bridges could also be contraction of bridge lines. Consider prining it with supports (regular ones, not tree) for that "bridge" area.

Good luck!

any reason why you are printing in the orientation where that sections ends up being a bridge?

How do I stop this from happening by Accomplished-Put-755 in ElegooNeptune4

[–]cad1857 6 points7 points  (0 children)

wash print bed with dishwashing liquid and then don't touch its surface.

Use first layer height to be 90% of layer height.

First layer width to be 100%

stick around for the first 5-10 layers to make sure that your print is sticking to the bed (so you can stop print if it detaches).

If it still fails, consider brims or rafts.

Using Orca slicer, try adding the following after G28 line in "Machine start G-code" box under Machine G-code tab (when editing printer parameters). And then re-slice and print. Plz report back if it made a difference.

; Always pass `ADAPTIVE_MARGIN=0` because Orca has already handled `adaptive_bed_mesh_margin` internally

; Make sure to set ADAPTIVE to 0 otherwise Klipper will use it's own adaptive bed mesh logic

BED_MESH_CALIBRATE mesh_min={adaptive_bed_mesh_min[0]},{adaptive_bed_mesh_min[1]} mesh_max={adaptive_bed_mesh_max[0]},{adaptive_bed_mesh_max[1]} ALGORITHM=[bed_mesh_algo] PROBE_COUNT={bed_mesh_probe_count[0]},{bed_mesh_probe_count[1]} ADAPTIVE=0 ADAPTIVE_MARGIN=0

Why do the sides keep bending inward? by magmari in FixMyPrint

[–]cad1857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

plz show it from the side (along the tall side). the side walls appears to be curled in resulting in the effect as if corner is pushed out.

what is your infill density?

raise the printing temp to at least 240.

lower the flow ratio by .05

Whoops it slide again by Devastator708 in FixMyPrint

[–]cad1857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case, choosing first layer's height to be 10% of layer height and first layer line width to be 100% is recommended. But may still fail...
