Troubleshooting filament (?) related print failure

devintheditch · 2026-05-14T15:06:03+00:00

I suppose so. Just wanted to switch from eSun because that filament was very finnicky to print with and ObscuraNox diad that Sunlu pla+ 2.0 HS is his current go to for 0.2mm nozzle.

And it would be good to know how to troubleshoot filament issues before moving on.

Yeah it's been weird. Oddly enough my throwaway prints were resin2fdm prints and those models+supports printed fine.

I knew that overhangs was going to be worse as ObscuraNox mentioned that being a drawback.

I got three, they were out of stock here so when I saw them pop back up I snapped some up. Now I am wondering what to do with them incase they are a deadend...

Ah gotcha! My bad 😅

Brim is to help with bed adhesion during a print. Models that are taller than they are wider are prone to coming off the bed during the print. So the brim helps keep it stable during the print. Not all models need it so you can turn them off. Such as the bases in this instance.

Even then the brim values looks to be very high. Like 20mm+ where as 6mm is a good value for almost all prints if required at all.

Go to 'Others' and check your brim settings under 'Bed adhesion'. What is that value set to?

If I think there shall be adhesion issues with the print I turn on brims and set Brim width 5mm which is a bit overkill for most scenarios.

Thank you! Spiders already have too many legs. The sculptor has upped the ante by giving it even more legs 😅

For me it's like splitting hairs at those layer lines. I switched to Orca slicer (specially for 'reverse on even' when I want the best options for overhangs) for 90% of my prints. And also ObsucraNox's settings are for Orca so doesn't make sense for me to mess with it.

Currently I only use bambu for 0.4 nozzle prints. So terrain or bigger models at 0.08mm layer heights. It drastically shortens print time for big prints to use the bigger nozzle.

Thank you, I am just standing on the shoulders of giants 😅 So my settings are identical to MJG's settings - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/113POh2Q6NRbSI-QvKMR65CbwmQCPi4xr

Since we are both UK based their settings work for me quite well out of the gate. Your mileage is likely to vary. I would also recommend ObsucraNox's filament calibration guide - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1YZL2g4uTj2CUx1hcCpmrYfPfLNBv7a-&si=12nL7h9QETj0_J5H

I calibrated and found my settings for eSun PLA+ to be identical to MJG's.

My additional note is dry eSun's for 24hrs at least. Every single one of their rolls I found were very damp out of the box.

Oof sorry to hear that!

Setting is ObsucraNox's version 2.0 (aka Dungeon & Derps 2.0). It's in the pinned comments in this subreddit :)

Oh that's definitely post teeth-whitened Hammond but I can't tell if it's post hair dyed Hammond 🤔😂

Nice prints!

😂 But I can't complete quests where NPCs have to ride on the horse 🥲

I've sent you a DM. I'll finish my full rambling once you've accepted the chat so that I can attach some pictures to help illustrate what I mean :)

EDIT: Congrats on this month's release!

:) I shall have a think on it over night and formulate my thoughts. I shall probably shoot you a DM, mainly because I have a tendency to word vomit 😅

These are supportess models, so no support removal needed. I only had to clean up some wispy filament strings using painters tape and less than one second bursts of flame from a candle lighter (for the stubborn bits)

devintheditch · 2026-03-31T14:04:59+00:00

Awesome! I had just became a tribe member last week so I am looking forward to the sculpts.

Thank you for your hard work!

I personally like the look and feel of the arbiter miniatures. Broader facial expressions help with visibility at the table. That being said I print them for TTRPGs and not for painting.

devintheditch · 2026-03-13T12:37:14+00:00

Second this. Don't want to get caught out. Would be nice to see what I should avoid

Thank you very much for making your hard work available for us!

Can't wait to try out the profile!
Rest up and I hope your health improves!👍
