I just adjusted my z offset and filament temp too if that matters. Z offset is now 0.1 and my temp is now 220 c.

Adjusting the Z offset and filament temperature can have an impact on your 3D printing results. By changing the Z offset, you are modifying the distance between the printer's nozzle and the print surface, which affects the adhesion and quality of the prints. The temperature of the filament determines its flow properties and can influence the print quality and strength.

However, keep in mind that adjustments to the Z offset and temperature should be made carefully and in small increments to avoid negative effects on your prints. It is recommended to test different settings and observe the results to find the optimal values for your specific printer and filament combination.

If you encounter any issues or need further assistance with your 3D printing, feel free to provide more information, and I'll be glad to help you troubleshoot.

Oh you were asking about the globs not the adhesion.

sour dune Dec 7, 2023, 10:51 PM

#

nah globs

Nozzle size?

sour dune Dec 7, 2023, 10:51 PM

#

1.75 i think

radiant saffron Dec 7, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

Uh, really? That's huge by average standards.

sour dune Dec 7, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

might be 0.4 then

#

one of those

radiant saffron Dec 7, 2023, 10:52 PM

#

Probably just 0.4.

#

What's your retraction set to?

sour dune Dec 7, 2023, 10:53 PM

#

do you suggest anything?

#

5 mm

#

thats the length

radiant saffron Dec 7, 2023, 10:59 PM

#

5mm? What kind of extruder do you have, Bowden or Direct Drive?

sour dune Dec 7, 2023, 11:00 PM

#

I'll check

#

It's Bowden @radiant saffron

radiant saffron Dec 7, 2023, 11:02 PM

#

Oh ok, that's probably fine then

#

Hm. Not sure though. I'd probably just do a retraction tuning test

gotchu thanks

I had this same issue when my nozzle was not tightened enough on my neptune 2.

#

PLA was getting pushed out the side and top of my hotend

#

Do you ever see black spots on your prints where it looks like the filament has burned?
