HELP PLEASE-Poor print quality-stringy not solid
Hi Thanks for looking.
I have a reprap 3d printer which I have just finished building.
The bed has been calibrated and using the stock standard software settings of slicer.
I have attempted to print the gears for an extruder and also a gopro part as a test print.
The parts as you can see are not solid but stringy. I have changed the speed of the x-y from 3000mm/min to 900mm/min and the print is a bit better but far from what could be considered acceptable.
Has anyone any suggestions as to which settings I should change.
material PLA
heat 185c
extruding at 5 mm
nozzle 0.4 mm
Could you explain your term in the posting

That or your Filament diameter isnt set correctly, wich it would output to less plastic for what you want for your layer,
Well basicly set your temp at 180,
HTML Code:
and twist your extruder by hand,
and simple up 5c every time when you think it doesnt go through the nozzle that well,
I always let the machine feed 10mm with the MAX speed i would feed in a print, if its okay i simple found the right temp.
Me personaly, almost always 180-190c, also with Colorfabbs or China branded filaments.
What do you mean by twist your extruder?
