    Weak Prints Problem, S.O.S

    Hi, I joined the site because I really need a solution to a problem that has been bothering me for months. My prints are coming out quite weak and with very poor quality. I'm going to leave some pictures so that the problem is more visible. My printer is a Prusa i3 bq hephestos

    This looks like either:

    1. Inconsistent volume of material delivered, or:

    2. Inconsistent movement in the Z axis.

    What material? What temperature? What print speed?

    I'm using PLA at 220 ºC and printing at 40 m/s

    I was not aware that there were units out there printing at 40 m/s.

    220 is too hot.
    drop your printing temp to 200.
    40mm/s is pretty slow, so you don't want the plastic very hot.

    Also do you have a print area cooling fan ?

    sarcasm not necessary davo lol
