AI Help

Poor curving in 3D printing can be caused by a few different factors, such as incorrect settings in your slicer software, issues with your filament, or problems with your printer calibration. To troubleshoot, try adjusting your temperature settings, checking your filament for any issues, and ensuring your printer is calibrated correctly. If you're still having difficulties, feel free to provide more details so I can assist you further.

3DBenchy
The 3D Benchy is a commonly used model to calibrate both the visual and dimensional accuracy of a FFF(FDM) printer. Due to its near ubiquitous nature this is often regarded as the standard benchmark print making it a useful model to print when seeking help for troubleshooting a model or improving print quality.

Settings for FFF(FDM) Machines
Scale: 1:1 (unmodified in size, from bow to stern #3DBenchy.stl measures 60.00 mm).
Layer height: 0.2 mm
Infill: 10%
Print speed: up to 50 mm/s
Nozzle diameter: 0.4 mm

Probably not enough cooling

[neat parrot]

So more fan speed? Turn off the heat plate?

I want to try it with prusa slicer next

[paper mica]

Oh no do not turn off the bed

Print slower

[neat parrot]

It was at 70mms

[paper mica]

Yeah 50 to 80 is still a normal outer wall speed

[neat parrot]

I did one at 80mm both had the exact same bad curve

Here’s one that shows the issue more clearly

It’s like in chunks

[paper mica]

should have posted that instead

[neat parrot]

This was my first one printed large layer lines and at 80mms,
The first pic I showed is the second benchy

[paper mica]

Its normal

Its the "hull line"

Where infill area meets outer walls

[neat parrot]

But it’s not perfectly rounded like every other benchy I see

It’s choppy

And like near the door of the benchy it’s wobbly there too

On both prints

[paper mica]

Tune printing temperature, if its pla turn the fan up to max after layer 3

[neat parrot]

Is 220c okay for nozzle temp

Yes pla

[paper mica]

Should be

[neat parrot]

I assume there’s a setting somewhere for that

[neat parrot]

To max from where?

[paper mica]

If it wasn't maxed out. If so, check fir potential wobblieness in your printer

[neat parrot]

Feels pretty sturdy

Here’s another pic

More weird misshapen ness

Not sure why it’s all like curvy

[neat parrot]

I think I’m gonna try printing one more but using prusa slicer this time, and you mentioned that it’s not cooling fast enough right?

It’s already at 100% tho

[paper mica]

Looks a bit weird, check the slicer if the seam is placed there

[neat parrot]

It wasn’t 😔

Currently trying to setup prusa slicer

Says estimated time is 3 hours? For a benchy?

[paper mica]

Check speed and accels and layer height

[neat parrot]

Thanks yea there was some speed stuff going very unnecessarily slow I think

Why’s the seam all over the place?

[paper mica]

You have settings for the seam to place it where you want

[neat parrot]

Can I ask where that setting would be

I think I found

[paper mica]

Use the search bar

[neat parrot]

Seam position, aligned nearest rear or random

[paper mica]

Not familiar with prusa

[neat parrot]

Whatcha use?

[paper mica]

Orca slicer

[neat parrot]

Uhhhh heard of it once

I’m liking prusa slicer so far tho

Okay I’m gonna try to print it

[neat parrot]

Half way thru and it’s just repeating all the issues ):
