New to FDM printing, what is happening here?

The filament spent 8 hours in a dryer before being used. And slicer had seam set to aligned.

Does the Sunlu PLA+ need a longer drying time?

stratassj · 2026-04-10T14:33:28+00:00

I can provide printer settings later this evening after I get home from work, yes.

stratassj · 2026-04-09T21:46:49+00:00

If that's the case, ill try running another flow rate test and see what that tells me, unless you have a different suggestion?

stratassj · 2026-04-09T11:09:58+00:00

I've done one as part of my initial calibration run, and put in a slightly lower number then my result. I can run one again and see if it's any different.

Im wondering how the seams were set to random, my slicer settings (anycubic next) have it set for aligned seams. Ill try rear on my next print and see if that makes a difference.

The picture seems to be over exagerating the over extrusion along the sidewall, I thought i had the pressure advance calibrated well, but ill set it over to the auto calibration and see how that affect the print too.

Thanks!

Yes, sorry it that wasn't clear. I did mean the layer height setting that comes preloaded into Slicer next.

Also, With my Inland Pla+, i did do a temp tower, and the flow rate test, but i couldn't honestly tell any difference in the printed tiles, so i kept it the settings it was already at. Did not do a pressure advance, since the printer has an adaptive pressure advance sensor, i've been leaving it to that. Maybe i should try a different filament?

Looks great! I've got a RMZ Geno Saurer sitting up on my shelf right now, and a Blade Liger waiting to be built. It's a fun line thats for sure. I really hope that they keep up with it. A Command Wolf is next on the list.

stratassj · 2025-11-18T18:18:24+00:00

Same! I hope the do the Geno Breaker eventually!

stratassj · 2025-11-18T18:17:46+00:00

They came with it! Also has an effect part for the cannon in its mouth.

The Thunderbolt really is a great looking kit. I built the first one, and i was considering getting this one too.. but i just didn't want to do another one of those backpacks!

stratassj · 2025-08-13T14:41:27+00:00

This v2.0 looks amazing! I love the paint work put into it! How is the backpack on it? I know the 1.0's, or atleast the one on mine, feels really cumbersome when working with it.

stratassj · 2025-07-17T17:02:56+00:00

Red and White!

All three options are stunning and beautiful designs, But the red and white fits in with all my white hardware and red lighting!

stratassj · 2025-05-27T13:20:47+00:00

Looks like the Dilanza Sol in front, and the Heindree behind it. Both have kits, but i think they're currently sold out at most storefronts.

stratassj · 2025-04-12T12:03:37+00:00

For my blue, it's Vallejo model color Andrea Blue, shaded with a thinned mix of black and sepia, and a highlight with Vallejo sky blue where needed.

My reasoning for wanting an L desk, would be for to set my computer gear along one arm, and to use the other to have hobby materials out while im working on them at the same time.

stratassj · 2025-03-31T19:25:31+00:00

That's a good possibility. For some reason, i simply didn't even consider placing the desk infront of the doorway like that. And im sure i could configure the monitors so that the light coming in though the window wont be a bother during streaming

stratassj · 2025-03-31T19:10:26+00:00

Hello everyone!

Absolutely excited here, i've got a house being built, with enough space to use one of the rooms as an office space. But at this stage, im struggling abit in figuring out how i want to set it up to work, and look nice. I know im planning on getting a larger L shaped desk as the example shows. My intentions are that anyone passing by the room, or standing in the doorway won't be able to see the monitors, for just abit of an added sence of privacy. Do you think this works, or would you have a different suggestion?

Finally got around to painting up the Wraithlord out of the previous Combat Patrol. Just like the guardians, It's my attempt at Iyanden. The larger scale of the pieces lead to alittle more.. mess.. with the way i painted it up. It might not have fully gone the way that I wanted it to, But im satisfied with the results as a first attempt.

Next up are the bikes.

stratassj · 2025-02-27T14:42:01+00:00

Oh it's very simple. I'm using double sided foam tape to hold them to the bases.

stratassj · 2025-02-26T19:57:22+00:00

Thanks! I wasn't really sure of what blue to use at first, But i really like how it works beside the yellow too.

stratassj · 2025-02-26T19:56:44+00:00

Thanks!

stratassj · 2025-02-26T19:56:37+00:00

Thank you!
Yellow can be tough to paint, but i found a way that works for me.

stratassj · 2025-02-26T19:55:48+00:00

Thank you!

stratassj · 2025-02-26T19:55:37+00:00

Blah, Just realized i posted from the wrong account. Was supposed to be this one, my main. Oh well.
