I've been getting some awful print quality lately and chocked it up to needing to dial in my settings on some new PETG, maybe it's wet?
Nah maintenance is just important to do regularly.
You might notice I'm having a lot of trouble getting this nozzle off by the brass shavings.
The difference between before and after is staggering. Remember to check your nozzle folks.
I am super satisfied at this print quality in PETG no less.
This was printed vertical on purpose as it will be part of a larger assembly and I wanted to know how it would come out. I gave a .3mm vs a .2mm spacer between the supports and the object and they just came right off but looking at the bridge I wonder if it's touched at all 😂
@reconbot oh I have nozzles.. I just don't want to do it. :)
For some reason it makes me anxious. I updated one of my Prusa printers to a Revo v6 swappable and it's great. This other printer didn't have that yet.
@Sablebadger lol I get it =p
If my stuff wasn't literally unprintable I might have just blamed my self and let it ride
@kbob oh I didn't see this because I wasn't tagged
yep! I have a few gcode's that will cycle through temps of bed and print so you can see how good it is, easy to tell if the strings or bridging falls apart. I often snap these thing in two to see where it's strongest too. Happy to share!
@reconbot it was a hard lesson for me. I used to use only hardened steel then I picked up a printer with a brass nozzle.
I like white filament: it’s easy to forget that white filament is white due to titanium dioxide which will chew through brass like nothing else (hardened steel? No problem). I was wracking my brain for a while to figure out why my quality had gone down so far.
@linux_mclinuxface OOo I had no idea!
I have a hardened steel one but my temps and prints were all off so I switched back, but I know a lot more about printing now so maybe it's worth a try for my daily driver - in any case glow in the dark will get it all day long
Attached: 1 image Liebe Menschen die 3D Drucker besitzen, denkt bitte dran dass auch die Nozzle zu Verbrauchsmaterial gehört. Die darf zwischendurch auch mal gewechselt werden... Nehmt einfach einmal nen Zwanni für eine aus Hardened Steel in die Hand und erspart euch das problem einfach für die Zukunft 👌
