whenever I try to print small things like this, there is always these “micro-mess-ups” like shown in the picture. What could be causing this and how do I fix it? I’m printing the first layer with no cooling, 10 mm/s, and with a glued print bed

The issue you're experiencing with small "micro-mess-ups" can be caused by various factors, including uneven bed leveling, improper nozzle height, inconsistent filament flow, or nozzle clogs. Here are some steps to help you troubleshoot and fix the issue:

  1. Ensure your bed is leveled properly. Adjust the bed leveling screws to make sure the distance between the nozzle and bed is consistent across the entire build plate.

  2. Check the nozzle height. Make sure the nozzle is at the correct distance from the bed. Adjust the Z-offset if needed.

  3. Verify that the filament diameter is consistent and that it is feeding smoothly without any obstructions.

  4. Clean the nozzle to remove any potential clogs or debris that may be affecting the extrusion.

  5. Make sure your filament is of good quality and stored properly to avoid moisture absorption.

  6. Consider increasing the first layer printing temperature slightly to improve adhesion.

By following these steps, you should be able to trou...

PETG at 60°C bed temp and 210°C nozzle temp

PETG at 210 ?

#

im sure you should run it around 230-250

#

iirc bed temp is around 70-80

#

theres more issues than where your arrow is pointing the whole print is a flop

#

the starting circle looks like its sat on the board and not stuck to it ?

well does it not do a wipe?

#

maybe you should print a retraction tower if it is that bad and fix your retraction rate?

#

because petg wont work at 210 buddy iv ran it in pla settings before if it dosnt clog the end print will look bubbly

#

instead of the circle try make it use the wipe line at the start

#

this is a successful print I had using the petg at 210

ya got lucky its just small

#

i dont print anything that smal

#

small*

#

fix your extrusion issue and run it at 230-250 higher bed temp too

#

what slicer do you use?

tight coral
#

Cura

#

the artillery version though

#

does it have calabration > retraction ?

#

have you tried anti ooze?

tight coral
#

nope

lyric sky
#

if you build a retraction tower it will tell you what to set the retraction distance too on the result you want

#

usually in the top tool bar on the slicer it has "calibration"

#

cura is one i have never used tho

#

1 & 2 is the only one not really leaving any extrusion

#

Which one looks the better one to you? And switch your retraction rate to that. You did run the petg at 230-250 in the test?

tight coral
#

210

#

should I try a temp tower?

lyric sky
#

Yeah do the temp tower have you told your slicer your using petg?

#

Idk a slicer that would set temps to 210 for petg

#

The petg temp tower wud go like 220-260 i think

tight coral
#

my temp tower wasn’t actually changing the temps, but I printed a part at 245 temp and 2 retraction and I think it mostly fixed my issue

#

it felt stiffer than the same part I printed at 210

lyric sky
#

ya cos petg needs more heat to set it off if it seeps out you just need to tune something up'

#

plz try this
