Ender 3 V3 KE, full bed single layer print. I saw a lot of stringing in some of the tests I saw online. I honestly don't know what to look for, so to me this looks fine. Is there something I should look into?

looks pretty much perfect

#

you might want to mess with that bottum left side some more but other then that you got it

#

The whole left side lol

#

You need to lower your nozzle so that the lines smear together

#

When you take it off the bed, it should be one SOLID piece of plastic.

#

Idk the UI for that specific printer, but go into your nozzle settings and lower it by 0.01 or 0.1 mm until the nozzle catches on a piece of paper that you slide in between the nozzle and the bed

#

I just had to do this last week, it takes a sec but it’ll make your prints so much stronger and smoother

@haughty loom thanks for the response

#

#

These are the 2 adjustment screens I have on my printer. Should I be changing something in this? @haughty loom

Leveling Your Printer
Here is a handy infographic that will help with levelling your printer.

Should look like the middle

#

There are no adjusting knobs on this printer, it's a fully automatic bed leveling system. So how do I go about this?

Posted it just for the visualization in the middle. You can adjust z offset.

#

Adjust your up and down levels by 0.01mm - 0.1mm until the bed and nozzle are a paper sheet apart

#

It’ll take some fine tuning

#

Lmk how things go @slender vigil

#

@haughty loom I think it is coming along well

#

#

Still printing

After doing the paper technique, all of my left side layers look good. But it's the right side that is giving me trouble. And there are no individual knows to adjust each side independently. Other than maybe tinkering with the vertical axis. @haughty loom @sand shore

#

It looks like it still needs to be lowered

#

There should be no lines on the print

#

Like it should literally be one square with no lines anywhere

#

Here’s what I did a week ago. Start the flatness test print, and while it’s going, do your adjustments. Change it and let it print like a line or two, and if it’s still not all one object, keep lowering it. Do this until you get no breaks or lines in your print.

#

Hope that helps

#

I realised that my bed itself is not level

#

So now working on fixing that with spacers

haughty loom May 24, 2024, 10:46 PM

#

Lmao

#

Does your printer not come with auto alignment?

slender vigil May 25, 2024, 5:22 AM

#

@haughty loom it does, but the physical alignment of the bed from the factory was apparently too off even for the auto alignment to fix.

#

haughty loom May 25, 2024, 6:20 AM

#

Oh wow

#

Did you get it fixed?
