Im having some issue with everything I print, A600 Prusa I3, print temps are 220 extruder, 70 on bed. .2-.3 layer height. 100% fill density. These are the settings that were already on there so I didnt change them. Can anyone tel from this why it would be happening?
Did you try a diferent filament? Some brands can give you problems, like no fused together properly, can you post some pictures
ABS?
220 for ABS is a BAD settings and the bed temperature could go at least 80+
Shoot for 230-240, and turn off that active cooling, it's actually less than 220 as soon as it goes out off the nozzle.
Sorry I should have specified it was pla, yea I just tried a different company filament and its doing the same thing, let me get some pics and I'll upload them
Increase print temperature, lower cooling and/or lower print speed to combat delamination.
*Add to this: Increase material flow rate.
Do you think the bed temp could play a part in it? I usally turn the bed off after son many layers to keep the part from warping (no matter how much glue corners still pull up with the bed on)
Bed temp relates to corner lift and first layer adhesion, not so much to delamination further up the print.
Ok I had thought so, I wonder if crap filament could be causing this? I got filament from Amazon called USA Filament or possibly the extruder? Im thinking a wades extruder could possibly fix the gaping problems
New filament from an untested source could have odd chemicals, requiring a different temperature (higher or lower); it also might be undersized. Did you check the diameter at multiple locations with calipers? Can you adjust your flow rate up a little and see how it affects the print?
People don't usually consider the cost in time and material of failed prints; saving $5 on the filament could cost you $100 in lost time. Find a provider that gives a consistent product and stick with them.
I think i might have figured out the issue, after making numerous adjustments and running some test prints, Im noticing everything on the right side was having this problem, left side was as solid as can be, left side would fall apart. Well my filament spool is sitting on the left side. Its on a holder but its printer feet level. I took and hung it above the printer and almost instantly i noticed the flow rate doubled and so far the print looks great. I will know for sure in about 20 min though
That's good news, let us know.
