Failed print with one roll and not another

Hmmmm Seems like the overture brand fails on larger area prints. Clean bed, nozzle temp, bed temp, speed had no effect on print quality. I was begining to think to the file was corupted , so I reDL'd original file again and again. Yet the O'ture orange filiment has no problems printing temp towers and retract towers. always fails when it tries to stick in itself? The grey BB8 is Pol..roid brand and the printed 99% perfect FIRST TIME. The last orange BB8 was printed right after grey with SAME SETTINGS and failed. The orange prints was from a brand new unopened roll PLA. The grey filament is stored on a shelf out of package in 44% humidity. Any ideas?

different colours and brands of pla will behave very differently.

Clearly your orange pla is shrinking more than the grey.
So either pop some print glue on the bed, or slow the first layer down or adjust the z-axis offset to give a little more smoosh.
Or all three :-)

Also add another 5c to both the print temp and bed temp.

I use the purple stick glue all the time. After each print I apply more stick glue to the area previous print was. repeat. The after 3-4 prints, and it starts to get harder removing prints from the bed, I clean it. The first tru 3rd layers go down really nice. This particular print is only 40 layers high. And they all failed on upper layers. I have also added brim support from 5-10 lines. I've printed small domes, pla temp tower and the retract tower. those three are perfect

okay so this is where the amount of detail you give us is important :-)

How big is the print ?

Also pictures of the failure and succesful print would also be useful.

There's obnly so much help that can be given by guesswork :-)

The print is 80mm X 110mm I have 3 rolls of overture filament. One PTEG, and 2 PLA. And they have been the MOST problematic brand I ever had experience with. The one shown was from a brand new unopen roll. This was FIRST thing I printed with this roll not 2 mins after opening.

Heres the file https://www.instructables.com/BB-8-D...m_medium=emailThe last couple of prints I did I increased the height to 125% to make the raised portions more pronounced

One thing Im trying right now at 6:36pm est Re downloaded fron instructable site, used Prusa Slicer instead of my go to Cura. Keep fingers crossed Will let know in 3 1/2 hours.

Hmm just checked prusa slicer and it says 1 hour 45 mins everytime with cura=3 hours 30 mins maybe my time to change my "go to" slicer

It stared printing. What I notice these lil "ticks" that stick up every print since started with either oture brand or the ender extender wich made the Y extruded I think 480mm long. I still only have the one Z stepper motor. Dont know if arm slop causing but this is on same line number. Theres no play on the bed that I can feel. Still up in air with linear rails

Update: Finished last night, dont know the exact time as wasnt with printer. The new roll of overture white yielded a print as shown. It seems to print great half way thru then you can see where upper layers "slip". slip by 15 mm That SAME ROLL OF FILAMENT printed a temp and retract tower perfect go figure I'm ticked

just to prove its not the printer, unless you say other, I sent a picture of SAME PRINT SUBJECT DONE WITH POLEROID PLA GREY FILAMENT SAME SETTINGS

ok so heres the latest I wrote to overture and they replied back asking for pictures and batch numbers. I sent them that information this am. They said if they see its their filament problem they would send new rolls. In meantime I have a sample of white PLA came with my printer. Never opened. I printed the BB8 and it too shifted not the 15mm as past prints but only 8mm. Thats an improvement. The Y axis is much longer than original. I dont see any slop from only having one Z stepper motor. but i could be wrong I just wrote to the Ender Extender people asking what could be. Im going back and forth about dual Z stepper setup kit. ANY IDEAS?

I've noticed the longer Y axis extruded is "sloppy. I can see the left side start up and the right side lags behind a mm or two. I wonder with this lag if the nozzel is "catching" on an upper layer therby shifting the print some distance? I think a dual Z drive is in order? Also the one picture , if you can see the lack of smoothness to the print? Can this be caused from sloppy Y axis?

I believe my issues were from a sloppy 'X" axis (one where hot end goes back and forth) was increased to 390mm I could see left side start to move before right did. Im in process installing a dual Z drive
