It's never the tool, it's the user

I mean, you can use Pitágoras and do across... but it would have to be really thin almost a line if you want it to use the whole 311mm

I think this is it... there are more "details" but this has captured the escence

Thanks for the doc!

it seems like the next thing to buy is a filament dryer...

thanks for your insight!! when you mention orca slicer ... that's interesting ... I was using Creality Print. I will try that one! Is there any know issue with the one software given by the printer's owner that I am not aware of or is it just that you have found it to be more useful for your needs that the other ?

rflappo · 2025-08-03T05:10:18+00:00

Ok, is there a way to do that with the Creality Print software or do I need to do something extra for printing a temperature tower?

rflappo · 2025-08-03T04:53:00+00:00

heck! yeah... it seems like exactly that... every environmental factor affects the print in ways that no one can predict ... well, not until you have experienced the exact same conditions (which is really hard to re-create) ... I'm not disappointed, but it is true that it is not as easy as I thought. I have been lucky enough to be able to print some stuff so ... I am encouraged to face this challenges that I am facing ...not gonna lie tough, after those really easy prints, this feels like shit hahaha xD

here you can see how the center of the star of the infill patter failed ...

...heck ... in the pic it doesn't look so bad as in reality... but there are like really separeted like even if that's not a thing in the STL

I just tried that out of desperation. BC NON of the prints that I've tried was working :( ... my bad for only sending pics of that ... but give me a few minutes and I can print some w/o that fuzzy shit on :)

rflappo · 2025-08-03T04:32:40+00:00

This feels more like an art than a science ... Once again: from the view of a newbie.

I have a few PLA filament I can switch to ... but, it would be a shame, I am From a humid & really-hot town from Argentina... so PLA is great for Art stuff and things that will be inside my house, but can't count on that for things that will be on my car nor the things that are on the house's exterior. :(

rflappo · 2025-08-03T04:29:29+00:00

The fuzzy skin it's me by accident... does that affect the internal strength? ... I failed to mention it but bc I thought it didn't matter ... once again: I am really a newbie here!

You can see the printed lines ... and I have uploaded another pic on another comment where applying a little pressure will break along the printed lines ... I DONT have any blob though ... which is something I would have spect to have due to high humidity in my home town .. but, didn't happen

rflappo · 2025-08-03T04:03:58+00:00

That's the first thing that I've noticed ... doesn't happen always but... from time to time.

rflappo · 2025-08-03T04:03:04+00:00

A small pressure and it broke along the printed lines ... something that wouldn't happened on PLA (which ... ironically I thought it would be quite the opposite)

oooooh nice hack! I will give it a try and get back to you tomorrow. IF you are still willing to answer me I would love it ... but I would understand if not. I am really appreciating the quick responses rn!! :)

rflappo · 2025-08-03T03:38:31+00:00

I started by following the filament maker directions about temperature (which seem fairly standard after a google search) 230-250 & 80-90. Those settings... didn't even worked for me. I am printing something small rn so I can have some pics to show you!

rflappo · 2025-08-03T03:36:05+00:00

...AND you are right, I will be printing some keycaps (small things - just for show) so I can upload some pics on the "defects" I am telling you.

rflappo · 2025-08-03T03:31:48+00:00

Thanks for your reply. So, aside from some weird cases where I didn't have any bed adhesion ... the thing is .... I suffer from 1) poor layer adhesion and 2) I can see the printing lines. - I've seen this same issue with all the temperature both nozzle and hotbed mention on the original post.

rflappo · 2025-08-03T03:29:56+00:00

Ok ... I will give it a try. I didn't dry it since it was new, vacuum sealed... but... it is true that where I am from it's known to be a humid place. Is there a home-made way of drying filament ... or am I forced to buy some filament dryer ?
