    Issues with prints

    Good Morning All!

    OK so I posted here before about my issue with corners rounding. I have made adjustments and still have the issue. Here is what I have done:

    tightened belts aswell as added belt tensionors
    Slowed jerk down to 15
    Slowed acceleration down to 500
    Printing at 30mm/s

    I am at a loss on what to do. I have attached two photos showing what is happening.

    Try setting your:
    Nozzle Diameter to :.35
    Extrusion Multiplier: .90
    Extrusion Width : .40

    Turn off fan just to test..
    Make sure your retraction settings are set as well.

    Just to be clear, I should set my nozzle diameter to .35 (.05 smaller then what I have)? What do you recommend for the retraction settings? I believe I have that set to 5mm I would have to check

    yes, set it a bit smaller...retraction settings depend on your setup...I use E3d 1.75. My retraction is set to 2mm at 15mm/sec.

    Great! I will input these settings, and give it a shot tonight. I will report back with my findings. Thank you Voodoo for your help!

    Voodoo why do you set the nozzle size .05 smaller than the actual size? I am curious as we have the same setup.

    It will eliminate the back and forth filling between two thin walls..
    I saw this on a video from 3d Hangouts..
