Orca Slicer is not giving me clean prints need help troubleshooting

[golden ore]

i knw i know its very difficult to see with white filament but i usually work with white filament only i tried my best to take pictures as best i can

i am sharing my cura results too

cura results

i am new to all this so i don't understand which settings needs to be tweaked

ok will try and give an update

[steady forge]

If you share the photos of the top, bottom, and sides, we can help you work out what calibration and tuning needs to be done.

i can do dat with fresh print again for u if u need it ?

[steady forge]

Just need it for the print I linked for you.

[golden ore]

i'll print the kitchen and share the output den ?

[steady forge]

Yes

[golden ore]

@steady forge sorry for the tag i had one question
in kitchen sink settings -
Recommended Print Settings
All Layer Heights = nozzle diameter ÷ 2
All Line Widths = nozzle diameter
i am using nozzle of 0.4

so what layer height i need to keep ?

also didn't understand All Line Widths = nozzle diameter
?

[steady forge]

Can't really explain it any more clearly than it already is.

For a 0.4 nozzle, all layer heights should be 0.2 (half of nozzle diameter), and all line widths should be 0.4 (same as nozzle diameter).

[golden ore]

oh ok i usually use 0.2 layer height only so should be ok given my current settings

just disable thick internal bridges right or i need to change any other settings here?

ignore this ?

[steady forge]

Still incorrect. Re-read what I wrote and the PDF instructions...ALL line widths need to equal nozzle diameter, no exceptions.

[steady forge]

Yes, you can ignore this.

[steady forge]

If it's not listed in the PDF instructions, then it doesn't matter.

[golden ore]

oh oh ok ok got it

[golden ore]

ok

[golden ore]

i knw my filament needs some drying bcoz der are stringings i knw

[steady forge]

Moisture is not the only thing that can cause strings though.

[golden ore]

ok how else should i troubleshoot i'll take a look at the pdf again and see if i can try to understand from there apart from dat what else do u think from top view so far?

[steady forge]

How much calibration and tuning have you done? Typically you don't need to worry about troubleshooting until all those basics have been dialed in first.

[golden ore]

i usually have done only temp tower to see which temp works best for my printer and filament and honesty until now i don't think i have gone above 205 in cura be it any pla filament so far i think maybe my printer does better that dat temp only ? not sure i am still trying out new filament soon once i get hold of a dryer

[steady forge]

Ironically, the temp tower is probably the least useful tuning print. You need to calibrate your e-steps, pick a temp, then perform max flowrate, flow ratio, PA, and retraction tuning, in that order.

Until those are done, any troubleshooting will basically be a dog chasing its own tail.

[golden ore]

ohk

[golden ore]

how will i calibrate or test max flowrate, flow ratio both ?
