Done that
I think I over tightened it at this point
My only think is the piece of Capricorn tubing that goes into the heat real might not have been pushed all the way in
Could that have caused this?
I’ve noticed cura pays almost no attention to nozzle size when you set up a machine. I believe the only setting that tells cura what nozzle size it’s using is “line width”
Example:
I swapped from a 0.4 to 0.6 mm nozzle and told cura that in the machine settings (not print settings) and that’s when I was having all the horrible issues with lines not touching. Eventually I had my flow bumped all the way up to ~150% before realizing that correlated almost perfectly with the nozzle size difference
Right, but if you are asking a 0.6mm nozzle (or a badly wornout 0.4mm nozzle) to print 0.44mm line width, the line printed won’t be as good when compared to a fresh 0.4mm nozzle.
Agreed entirely. Just reiterating that changing nozzle size in the machine config doesn’t slice any differently.
No, I don’t think so.
Ah ok thanks
Dunno what could be causing it then
Unless I’m using the wrong nozzle thickness?
Or when I change nozzle do I have to change esteps again? (Or maybe I tightened some bolts on the extruder
It’s a brand new nozzle .4mm nozzle installed with . 4mm nozzle selected in Cura.
I’ll be removing the microswiss direct drive and converting it back to stock later tomorrow to see if anything changes.
@Jujo Please try 90% flow for the outer layers, before you swap out the nozzle. It will haunt if you don’t
The bottom 1/3 of the print is 90%, the next layers are 110% and the upper rest of the print is 80%. Lowered the temp this time to 200C instead of the usual 210C
All at 60% speed. Ill try to lower the outer layers specifically before convert it back
are you using cura? How do you control the flow per layers?
Cura is set to 100% flow, but on the Ender I change flow rate mid print. Is that a bad to do?
How do you change flow mid print? changing esteps??
But anyways, for my sanity, please change flow inside cura and only for outer walls. You know how to do that right?
I’ll try that before I head home for the day
set wall wipe distance to 0.4mm if you are using cura. Also set seam alignment to sharpest corner.
Or randomize seam in Cura settings
That’s weird. It might need to break in a bit but honestly I haven’t had any leveling issues so idk. I’m guessing you made sure to clean your bed very well before applying the print bite?
Tried as much as possible
I got it perfectly flat but the issue is the middle is always a different height to the corners
Ah, you might have a warped bed. Have you had issues pulling parts off before adding printbite? I warped a bed a long time ago from pulling off stuck parts.
Under Extensions->Post Processing->Modify G-Code->Add a script->ChangeAtZ->Check flow rate and change value; It’s really handy sometimes
** Also I wanna add that you change other things like print speed and what not; I haven’t fully utilized all the available settings there yet
