Delamination Help!

[chris850]

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)

[Davo]

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.
