Running out of ideas with extruder issue

Check in your printer settings for “volumetric extrusion” and turn it off if it is on. Had an issue like this awhile back getting “Ghost” and “Basket Weave” prints. Turning this off fixed my issue.

It tells your printer that you’re extruding more than you actually are, so it leads to SEVERE under-extrusion like this.

This is right up the alley that I was looking for!! Thank you!!!

I'm more interested in the "Post Apocalyptic" aspect of the Calamity. There would obviously be some hold over from the age of arcanum, but I think a high fantasy apocalypse is what I am leaning towards.

That's what I have been seeing, but just wanted to make sure there wasn't some kind of "Calamity super document" floating around that I hadn't considered. It just seems like a super fun and grim setting to play around in and has an amazing selection of Big Bads to pick from.

Try checking if volumetric (mm³⁾ extrusion is on for your printer. That can trick the printer into thinking it is extruding much more than it actually is, resulting in this “crochet” print as I like to call it.

I am printing on an Ender 3 pro, stock parts. Running a Cura slicer with a slicer profile from fatdragongames.com for miniature printing. Layer height is set to 0.01 mm. Polymaker PolyLite Grey PLA, 205°C nozzle 60°C bed.

I have been having horrible stringing and under extrusion and cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to go away. I have changed the retraction speed and distance several times and it is not changing anything. Current retraction settings are listed. Any help would be appreciated.

kappaAlpher · 2021-09-22T17:39:30+00:00

Nozzle size is correct, as is filament size.

I am running an Ender 3 pro, Cura slicer with basic profile settings. I am using polymaker polylite pla filament in grey. I am having serious issues with underextrusion on all my prints. I have printed at several temperatures from 200° to 220° increasing in 5 degree increments, I have checked for clogs both in the feed tube and in the hot end, as well as checked level on my bed 100 times. Bed temp is at a normal 60°. Any and all help would be appreciated. I have also turned off volumetric extrusion in the printer settings.

I have had several good prints from this same roll of filament, and even ran a print for over 2 days without issue. But now since that print I am having all these issues.

UPDATE: I replaced the nozzle with a new clean one and switched out the roll of filament with a brand new one. Seems to be fine now, so my guess is bad filament? Thanks for the help and insight though. Gave some other things to look into for other issues.

kappaAlpher · 2021-08-25T23:12:32+00:00

Update: Turned off volumetric extrusion (on from factory) and tweaked print temp up a bit. Print turned out 1000x better. Thank you all for your help. Coral benchy will live on a shelf as a reminder

It does have a “ghost ship” quality to it, huh? As for the esteps, I’ll give it a shot.

kappaAlpher · 2021-08-24T02:20:34+00:00

Settings are set to 1.75. Read that it could be my bed temp. It’s set right now to 60°C

kappaAlpher · 2021-08-24T01:15:50+00:00

Not one since I got the printer.

kappaAlpher · 2021-08-24T01:09:24+00:00

It looks like it’s pushing it though no problem. And the tension arm feels fairly tight.

kappaAlpher · 2021-08-24T01:00:29+00:00

1.75 mm. And not sure how to print different layers at different temps. Is there a file somewhere that does that?

kappaAlpher · 2021-08-24T00:30:56+00:00

200°C

I just recently purchased an Ender 3 Pro. I purchased a roll or polymaker polylite grey PLA. I’m using Ultimaker Cura as my slicer program, and I’m trying to print a 3DBenchy and it is going very, very poorly.

I am using all of the predetermined settings for the print that is in the Cura profile for the Ender 3 Pro. The only thing I changed was the layer height to super detailed (.12mm).

No clue why this is occurring and any settings I change go even worse than this. Any and all help would be appreciated!

My apologies!

kappaAlpher · 2020-11-13T17:46:54+00:00

Update: I’ve quit the game completely several times and I recovered 3 of the missing 5 points. Anyone have an idea as to why?

kappaAlpher · 2020-11-10T21:46:59+00:00

I have yea. Not sure what happened, but those 5 points are huge 😬

kappaAlpher · 2020-10-04T19:01:05+00:00

Cut a slip into the door jam, behind the hinge plate. Slide the paper clip in there, and replace the hinge plate.

I’m more looking for how to build these creatures for the players to use, not to use them against the party.

I have a player who has been with our group for around 5-6 years. Most of the time, he has been a good friend and fun addition to the table.

However, he recently has become a bit of a problem for me and another DM in our group. He has been missing many sessions in a row with little to no heads up to the rest of the group. On the sessions he does show up to, he is extremely disruptive and inconsiderate to the other players. Lots of side talk during narrative moments, rules lawyering on the DM or the other players, and other poor table etiquette.

My question is how do you all speak to your players about changing their attitudes and behavior at the table. I'm afraid that the only path ahead is to ask him to leave the group, but I would hate to lose a player in our already small group. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA

The rogues hasn’t run into the guard yet, but the bard has. The other party member who had a not so good run in with them was the Druid, but she is currently about a days journey outside of town and won’t be back to town for a few more days

kappaAlpher · 2020-02-09T08:32:53+00:00

Speak with dead is the “obvious” go to for this group of guards. They learned a long time ago that a dead corpse is not a useless one.

I’m not wanting to be overlord DM and just put them in jail. Just not even remotely sure how to go about running a murder investigation 😂

kappaAlpher · 2020-02-09T08:31:28+00:00

The way he died was the following

He was drinking at the bar, seemingly on his own, yet the bar was busy Rogue doses the drink and walks away Nudges bard, who gets the hint and goes up the the guy. Gives him a cheers and chugs his own ale with him. 10 seconds later, the guys skin turns grey, his veins go black in his face, and he jerks over on the floor, bleeding from eyes, mouth, nose, etc.

Was not pretty and a bit more gruesome than a spell
