3D Printing Discussions, Questions and Debugging

Yea, halfway through next test print and I’ve got to say I really think it’s underextruding. I changed it from 135steps/mm to 125steps/mm at 50mm/sec and it’s a loot worse. Finally seeing some holes and gaps.
I’ll bump up the flow next round

Pics?

Idk, it’s acting like overextrusion but it looks like underextrusion.

@mishrasubhransu No, I have Combing Mode ON but No in Skin. I don’t know about any other skin textures

Do you have the skin texture enabled? One that produces a matte finish? I forget th exact name…

Tried calibrating using 100mm and found out I was waaaaay off in my E-steps. I set it to 152steps/mm. Printing right now. I’ll check back on it tomorrow when I get in to work

Yeah if you turn esteps/mm down, you’ll be underextruding more goof :kissing_heart:

I just had an issue with one of my printers after switching it to a plastic cable braid instead of fabric.

It was so rigid that on large prints, it would bend up and on very specific moves… would bump my back left nozzle making it tighter and tighter.

Fun stuff!

@Jujo, so what was it finally? Was overextrusion the problem or underextrusion or something else?

I haven’t had the time to head over to the printer and check, sorry :pleading_face:




Prusament ASA and 0,2mm Layer height. Infill with 200 mm/s.
Idk what caused the look of the top layer. Shrinking rate is not that high as ABS, I guess
Some warping was involved btw.

Decrease the flow for the top layer by 10% and see if it helps. To me it looks overextruded.

You’re not going to use a riser block that tall are you?

It’s 20mm. Red blocks and longer wheel base. I’m light. Unfortunately needed for my light.

Can someone help with my esteps calibration
I set it to 150 and then tried and I got like 10mm out when printing 100mm
Using Titan aero

Thanks

Changing it on tiny machines screen cr10 pro

Does it make sense that my esteps is around 500?
Or is there something wrong if it has to be that high
