E steps calibrated. Might be slicer issue because when i go to print something the target temps are always 175/60 even though my slicer says 200/50, so maybe other issues aswell

AI Help

It sounds like there may be a miscommunication between your slicer software and your printer. I recommend checking your slicer settings to ensure they match the target temperatures you want to set for your print. Additionally, make sure your printer's firmware is up to date and that the communication between your slicer and printer is properly configured. If the issue persists, you may need to troubleshoot further or seek help from the manufacturer or online forums for specific advice related to your printer model.

@granite lagoon
Wait so your printer does the first layer perfectly.....and then just up on z a lot and does the second and remaining layers?! 🤔 😅

Sorry noticed you had thread and decided to move here, easier to keep track

NTS: temps are being manually reset to desired printing temp of 200\50.
Machine auto resets it to 175\60 for unknown reasons. Mr onion put it back to 200\50 via the screen

Yes correct

#

Do u know the reason this happens? And should i cancel the print?

#

@wind nymph sorry to tag you but im about to go to bed and i kindof gotta know whether to cancel it or not

wind nymph
#

sorry know that sucks...

#

better than a blocked nozzle or spaghetti tomorrow though 😅

#

Maybe could have continued but whatever

wind nymph
#

umm also for reference, what printer are you running?
any mods?
any modified firmware?

granite lagoon
#

Oh yes sorry ofcourse

#

Its an ender 3v2 with mriscoc firmware and a raspberry pi 4b running octoprint. And dual gear metal extruder. The print was running off of octoprint, otherwise for some reason im unable to see the progress and then im also unable to cancel the print

Why you should put tape on your USB cable

Your device might try to feed power to your printers motherboard, causing all sorts of problems from loss of connection to a destroyed board. Putting tape on the 5V pin of the cable can be an easy solution.

Put tape on the 5V pin - Why and how

First of all this whole tutorial isn't a mandatory mod - you just need it if you run into issues (weird things are happening and you've already ruled out the more common suspects) or if the always running fan and illuminated display (even when the printer is turned off) disturbes you. I'm starting with the why part: If you connect a 3D printer...

Yes i plugged it in using a data tranfer micro usb cable

#

But what does the 5v do? Why i need to tape it off?

Joking

wind nymph
#

sorry... I though it may be easier to read the pictures 😅
Hopefully that was ok? 😅

#

this may not be the whole problem, but if we tape it, we at least eliminate it as an issue blobthumbsup

apologies for spamming pictures.. 😅

granite lagoon
#

Yes will do this aswell but i think its the filament

granite lagoon
#

Because i printed another black piece and it turned out oerfect

wind nymph
#

oh yeah good point whoops... mewnaCreepyEyes

your white filament might just need tuning..
we can still check you z offset with black and eliminate that as well...

granite lagoon
#

Yes will do

#

Even though i didnt change anything when switching colors

Oo good. yay
Thats just means the white needs some tuning in your slicer profile.

Edit -> preferences -> material settings.

I'd suggest for the white running a flow calibration.
It could be just extruding too much material for just that filament
