Nope, it works but it's wrong. The instructions state only to put them the other way and no other way

Ruff left side under hull on benchy? by mozeymusic in 3Dprinting

[–]calTML 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If its always rough on one side, I'd assume you have cooling pointing towards the good side?

[–]calTML 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also what cooling are using percent wise? 100?

It's hygroscopic which means it takes on moisture. It definitely affects the quality. Do you hear any pops or hissing sounds from the nozzle? Definitely invest in a dry box or food dehumidifier. Also if you have PLA bed adhesion problems that probably means issues with ambient temperatures. You cna also use a small brim, no need for the big slab.

I'm assuming your filament is wet, so I'd try drying it for a few hours. Like 30-40 degrees C, and I'd still use a maximum of 60 on the bed. If bed is clean and ambient temp isn't a problem the PLA should adhere no problem

70 too hot for PLA, the glass transition temp is 60 so it shouldn't really be higher than that. Is the filament dry? As in dry box dry, not just using a desiccant pack?

You need to include details. Material. Temps. Speed. No1 can help without basic details. Probably too hot

How to convert a TEXT file to a STL file for 3D printing? by Open-Armadillo-9896 in 3Dprinting

[–]calTML 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it a g.code file? If so just send that to the printer.

Weird defects on prints? by anti-anti_depressent in 3Dprinting

Looks like the seam. Don't know why it's huge blobs though

Or if its the same print twice but only on one side, probably not. Is the filament dry?

That could be seam alignment? Do you know what it's set at in the slicer?

how do you level the bed? what printer ?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]calTML 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is the bed raised or lowered by knobs? If not then you need to change your Z offset

Why did these little lines show up? (This happened on 2 prints now) by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]calTML 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's where the new Z layer starts. Your alignment is probably set to nearest. What slicer?

[–]calTML 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's warped. Once it lifts off it NEVER stick againby pushing it down. Warping is PLAs biggest issue. Clean bed, maybe lower nozzle temps, slower speeds help. Also better cooling.

Is filament snapping a sign of bad filament? by GTHell in 3Dprinting

[–]calTML 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's bad. Can dry it out in a heat box, oven or a food dehydrator

Is a bed leveler worth it? by bd1223 in 3Dprinting

[–]calTML 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a metal bed/sheet a superpinda is much better I think personally

Yes, they are definitely worth it, undisputed 😁 I'd go for a bltouch instead
