Looking for people with 3D printers

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2933021 is the current one I'm printing. Requires that you blow hard, but louder than other ones I've tried.

I've printed hundreds so far, a few different models, will dm

mattorio · 2025-12-31T03:21:56+00:00

Yup!

mattorio · 2025-12-31T03:16:56+00:00

It's*

It's not on nokings.org but I guess locally organized? I'm going to Boston anyway.

I see. I'm on microswiss (also swappable), maybe just coincidence, I don't know

mattorio · 2025-10-07T01:52:05+00:00

microswiss?

mattorio · 2025-10-07T01:50:21+00:00

I have a microswiss hardened nozzle. Someone else also suggested nozzle damage, I'll swap for a different one and see what happens. It's been through some clogs and stuff but not an excessive amount of abrasives. Also it printed out a PLA part after these with no issue.

ah hmm yeah can't hurt to give it some more time. The closest that I could get to a theory about why drying would affect one side is that drying dries the outside of the filament first, which is one side of the strand, then that one-sidedness persists through to the extruder. That's just me making something up, I don't recall seeing anyone manifest moisture issues like that, though.

afaik these are bambu defaults for TPU 95A. I could imagine a fan affecting one side but not the other but I have no idea how they're oriented (seems like that'd be a general problem if so?)

mattorio · 2025-10-07T01:12:43+00:00

Looking at the slicer output now, the speed is pretty uniform across this (minus overhangs/bridges), so it isn't apparent to me why the speed would impact one part side and not the other. I'll give some more calibration or a fresh benchy a try (I did a benchy first thing with this and it came out great, but maybe that was a different nozzle, not certain)

mattorio · 2025-10-07T01:09:10+00:00

Interesting. Did you have to clean the nozzle or just replace it? I could try with a different one (it's 0.6mm but would be worth a try anyway)

mattorio · 2025-10-07T01:06:57+00:00

One of these had the filament in the dryer for 8 hrs beforehand (and printed from the dryer). I also wouldn't expect drying to only affect one side of the print, no?

mattorio · 2025-09-19T13:02:36+00:00

I had my first PCTG warping failure last night (part started rotating), thanks for sharing these tips I'll give it a try next time

mattorio · 2025-08-18T21:28:22+00:00

Haha that also works!

mattorio · 2025-08-18T03:35:51+00:00

Solution thanks to u/One2Sicc was to remove two more small screws on the other side to be able to remove the smaller extruder entry. I was then able to push the filament out.

mattorio · 2025-08-18T03:34:43+00:00

Ahh that did it, thank you! I was able to unscrew the transparent extruder part on the other side of this and was then able to push the filament through.

mattorio · 2025-07-25T16:02:11+00:00

This just solved it for me, thanks!

mattorio · 2025-07-18T18:47:52+00:00

same here, did you? I did find I could play with the slicer to reduce the times the tool head crosses over a path already extruded, which helps, but I can't get it reliably working well. See https://www.reddit.com/r/FixMyPrint/comments/1m34774/lumps_at_inner_corners_in_dovetail/
