warped locust
So i am on attempt number 7 now, using pla+ at 215 and bed at 60, at layer 5 i keep getting well i dont know anymore, and i am getting really fed up, tired and frustrated with this now.
Asked several discords and reddit, and i dont know if this one will be another one buried in the long list of my problems with these fucking printers of mines.
...Always something with these fucking creality printers!

It's a bit hard to see where your problem starts. I see the part most West is lifting off the bed. Some of the rest I can't tell very well. But given that your skirt is lifting.. it seems to be issues with sticking to the bed. I can see glue streaks on your bed. Have you given the build plate a solid scrub with Dawn dishwashing liquid and tried the print without glue?

did you try a different filament allready? seems dump but can help 🙂

Trying new filament just now.

So here it is! @warped locust
Have you only tried PLA+ filaments so far? Have you tried normal PLA?

Yeah, normal pla is a little bit better but the same can snap it with one hand
buoyant plank
hmm okay.

Someone suggested checking the extrusion multiplier too. That's definitely worth checking if you haven't done so
warped locust
possibly wet filament
Been in the dryer for a few days then after that goes straight into a vacuum bag so I can put the next one in the dryer
plain monolith
How old is it?

Oh I have no idea what to do there haha
warped locust
How old is it?
A week
plain monolith
And what brand?
warped locust
Esun
buoyant plank
If it's doing this on such a consistent basis on all rolls across multiple types of PLA, then I don't know whether moisture is the primary suspect anymore
buoyant plank
Oh I have no idea what to do there haha
Have you ever measured the extruder's distance travelled compared to what's asked? That's set up by the Extruder steps/mm
warped locust
It's a whole new hotend and block too, cause the printer... Had a meltdown

I haven't,

You should do that
warped locust
I'll do that just now
buoyant plank
even a tiny bit of under extrusion can cause significant layer bonding issues without looking troubled

What temps are you printing at?
buoyant plank
plenty apparently
warped locust
What temps are you printing at?
Tried 205 and went up in 5 degrees for each of the prints
buoyant plank
"normal" PLA tends to be fine at 200c though, as a general consensus. 🙂 There's a small range of acceptable temperatures
warped locust
That's what I have it normally for all my printers
buoyant plank

usually can't hurt 😅
I run my PLA at 220-230 because STRONK
I print geometrically simplistic models though, so your mileage may vary 🙂
glad pond
Just bouncing in here to ask- does this only happen on this model at this layer point or all models at this height?
warped locust
buoyant plank
check to make sure you've zero'd your calipers 😁
warped locust
I did haha
buoyant plank
Hah. Is it consistently at that diameter?
warped locust
That was one part, it's roughly 1.76-78
buoyant plank
It should be pretty close to 1.75 at almost all times
warped locust
1.76
buoyant plank
measure with the tips of the calipers without too much force. That's the part that's meant to be accurate and repeatable.
Using the flat part can be impacted by the slight curve in the filament
warped locust
1.74 with the tip
Going to try again with another pla.
This one just came straight out the dryer
Don't know if thats any use
Oh, I just noticed the acceleration, would that be an issue?
buoyant plank
it's not high but not low. it shouldn't
it's how fast it's allowed to speed up, until it reaches the maximum speed or until it has to slow down again
warped locust
I've refreshed it and put a different roll on,
If it doesn't work, then I will do that extruder thing.
Really didnt want to take off the motor again haha
buoyant plank
don't have to!
you calibrate it by measuring how much filament is extruded for a known amount you asked for
you adjust your steps/mm by the same ratio as the real vs requested distance
warped locust
I don't want to be dumb, but I'm going to be dumb, can you give me an example? Haha

Thanks for your help on everything it's much appreciated, I'll do that once this test print is finished
buoyant plank
ok :)
warped locust
ok :)
So when i do the command M503 it says unkown command, also i purged 100mm of filament and it was 96

alright so that means ur under extruding
are you running professional firmware

such as? im still new to klipper and such

yeah haha

uhh did you type M503 with a capital letter?
Ohhh you're on Klipper?
plain monolith
klipper doesnt support that
Can you open your printer.cfg and send your [extruder] section here?
warped locust

heres how to calculate ur rotation distance
(Actual Extrusion Amount x Current "rotation_distance" Value / Extrusion Amount = New rotation_distance (e-step) Value
Actual Extrusion Amount = measurement in mm after extruding.
Extrusion Amount = amount in mm that you told Klipper to extruder.
rotation_distance = whatever is in the [extruder] section in Klipper before you told Klipper to start extruding.
warped locust
yeah you have lost me there
warped locust
its open
plain monolith
can you send me your [extruder] section
warped locust
plain monolith
alright
warped locust
oh, my noozle is actually a 0.4
plain monolith
(96 x 5.7/ 100)
plain monolith
oh, my noozle is actually a 0.4
shouldnt matter
5.472
replace your rotation distance with that
warped locust
Thats that done, also changed the noozle size just in case too
Will i try another print test?
plain monolith
alright
