Thread: Filament issue?

  1. #1

    Question Filament issue?

    Hi,

    I am new to 3d printing and am trying to print with a transparent PLA filament. I am using a FL Sun SR printer.

    I want to print a single wall model with a large nozzle and quite hight layer height.

    I have tried different things to fix the issue. I have changed the nozzle temp, speed, bed-leveling but nothing seems to fix this issue with filament looking strange mid print and not connecting the same way all through the print.

    I use theese Cura-settings:

    Nozzle: 1.0mm

    Layer height: 0.64mm

    Line width: 1.2mm

    Wall thickness: 1.2 mm

    Speed: 30mm/s

    Bottom thickness: 2 layers, 1.28mm

    Infill: 0

    Print temp: 232 C

    Retraction: 6.5 mm

    What could be the issue here?

    If you are new to 3D printing perhaps try the standard 0.4mm nozzle initially.

    I think that you are under extruding, jmo.

    Basically you are trying to extrude a lot of molten plastic with a 1.00mm nozzle, can your hot end melt the required volume of filament quickly enough?
