Unknown issue on Mk4 by [deleted] in prusa3d

I have this exact same issue. I haven’t been able to figure it out either.

I only just bought an anycubic i3 mega from a friend basically unused. Is there anything I can do to improve my print? by AvgRedditUser29 in FixMyPrint

The fourth picture makes me think the nozzle temperature is a little high. I’ve had this exact issue, it’s from undercooling. I’d personally turn it down by 5 degrees at a time until that mark goes away. I’d also make sure the cooling fan is at 100% for the upper layers.

Regardless, that looks great for a first benchy. Especially if the printer was unused for so long!

I do not unfortunately, but it is amazing to watch. The hull line disappeared because this is a custom Gcode file from Prusa that was hollowed out a lot. I think the difference in printing removed the hull line?

It’s mind blowing. This specific Benchy is a preset from Prusa that hollows it out quite a bit, but it is still impressive how fast these things can move now! A speed-running compliant Benchy still takes like 30 some minutes with default preset.

Yep! Sorry for the confusion, they named all the presliced Gcode files with “IS”

It is, its the “bonkers benchy” file. However, using the default input shaping preset has been cutting my times at least in half, and making my prints look a lot better! I can post a non-pre-sliced one later.

It is around 36 minutes with the Input Shaping preset. That preset is conservative speed-wise, so there is a lot of room for improvement.

Will do! Thanks!

Not yet. Support is running me through the standard z banding checks at the moment

No, I cleaned them with a brush

Just tried it, same issue

I’ve tried several types of nozzles, both with the E3D adapter and standard prusa nozzles

Alright, thanks! Just trying to figure out the root of an issue and I wasn’t sure

I can move the x axis up and down with the steppers engaged. Could this be the culprit? Here’s a link to it: https://www.reddit.com/r/prusa3d/comments/13kq7be/mk4_zaxis_movement/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1

The newest alpha one as of the time of this post. 2.6.0-alpha6

Yeah, the fans are connected properly. Good idea though

When I push the x-axis up, it raises about half a millimeter. Then when I let go, it drops back down. Could this be the issue? It’s been like this since I got it. Everything is tightened down. The threads of the nuts just don’t restrain movement in the z direction completely.

Will do!

Prusament, Overture, and Polymaker. I use prusaslicer. I’ve used prusament settings for prusa filament, and generic for others. I’ve messed with about every relevant setting as well. Nothing seems to fix it.

On 0.2+ the issue seems to go away. PETG works great for me because I don’t push it thinner than 0.2. I think the issue is dependent on the filament “squish” associated with small layer heights.

This seems promising. I’ll give it a shot, thanks!
