PLEASE! I need help with my Ender 3.

[Madda]

Im using Coarse - 0.4mm.

It's the same size as the nozzle isn't that what's it's for?
As it prints the first layer shouldnt the PLA stick together creating a solid surface?

How do i install your files btw? Cura seams to not like them. Should i put them in manualy?

[Roberts_Clif]

NO!


You can only print about 80% the nozzle size for layer height. This would be .4 * 80% = .32mm Max Layer Height.
I normally print between .2 - .28 layer Heights unless I want a really fine print then I print with a layer Height of .06 - .15

I don't know how to import your profiles into cura yet.

So i used the profile that i hope got attached to this post. Cura profile.zip

Here are the results before it let go of he bed (Is it becuase the gaps?).

I can see gaps on the print and the first layer did not become a "Solid" layer (I can see each thread).
I think the gaps are visible in the second pic where the light comes through.

It's not the full print but it got further then last time

thats some nice information. I bought a ender 3 to and try to find more information about how to improve my Print results. Where can i find such information you ggave here like the basics for settings?

[OwiHH]

My first prints are pretty good sofar.

Bottom top are good also 90 degree sides are fine.

Most curves are bit scratchy/line`y - any idea how to improve it or what may be wrong?

Here some pics (red arrow - scratchy)

Want my Cura Profiles for Hictop 3DP11/12

It appears you are getting under extrusion, your filament maybe getting tangled or you may have a partially clogged extruder.

Start a new thread help will arrive.

I have Ender 3 predecessors the 3DP11 and 3DP12, Almost no one was there for me to help weed thru all the learning process.
Then I came across these video's.

This is when I decided to spend my time helping those like yourself get there 3D Printers working correctly.

I have helped numerous New 3D Printer Owners get there new 3D Printers working correctly.
I have spend hours modifying there incorrectly configured firmware finding the flaws and getting there 3D Printing working in top order.

Want help Post your own thread we will find you, this thread is for helping Madda

Can you tell me how to install your cura profile there are ".ini" files and cura only likes ".Curaprofile".

Cura uses both the older versions use .ini the newer versions use .Curaprofile
You can look at what I have and adjust what you need and create your own specific profiles.
The number is for layer height.
