For the 3D printing nerds: I'm having a problem with my Ender 3 Pro, and I'm not entirely sure what to tweak to get better performance out of it.
Basically, the part starts out as one contiguous circle, then once it's past the base, there's an outer ring, and then some small protrusions. I usually have trouble printing multiple parts at once, because my build plate is far from flat (planning to swap firmware and get mesh levelling setup), but while this is sort of the same thing (the nozzle has to jump across multiple non-contiguous portions of the print during each layer), it's all happening within a total diameter of <40mm!?
Basically I can complete the entire base, then when it gets into the "sticky outy" bits, after anywhere from a couple layers, to maybe half a cm or so, my extruder starts clicking, and I run over to find it just floating above the print, obviously clogged I guess.
The weird thing is that I managed to do a couple test prints of this just fine yesterday. Now I just keep failing!
Any ideas!?
For reference, I have an Ender 3 Pro with the off brand red aluminum dual gear extruder. I'm using Elegoo PLA+ (which is what I've always used) at 210 degrees (what I've always set it at).
First photo is a couple successful test prints from yesterday (earlier iterations of this model; the one with the radiused walls had the ring as well but that snapped off after the fact... accidentally made it too thin). Second photo is my last 3 failed attempts, which appear to be failing earlier each time lol
