Hello everyone! I am very new to orca and 3d printing. Does anyone know what is going on?

Creality PLA on an Ender 5 plus

Printing at 205, bed temperature is at 60

Z hop height is 0.1 mm

fan 100%

Layer heights are at 0.2mm

Precise wall is on

Seriously any help is appreciated, thank you!

It sounds like you may be experiencing issues with adhesion, layer adhesion, or cooling. Here are a few suggestions to troubleshoot:

**Bed Leveling: Ensure your bed is properly leveled so that the initial layer adheres well to the bed. You may need to adjust your leveling to get better adhesion.
**Extruder Temperature: Experiment with slightly increasing or decreasing the extruder temperature. PLA typically prints well between 190-220°C, so you could try a lower temperature to see if it improves layer adhesion.
**Cooling: Your high fan speed (100%) could be causing too rapid cooling, which may impact layer adhesion. Try reducing the fan speed slightly to see if it improves the print quality.
**Print Speed: If you are printing too fast, it can also affect layer adhesion. Try reducing the print speed to see if it helps.
**Filament Quality: Ensure your PLA filament is good quality and not old or exposed to moisture, as this could affect print quality.

tame rivet Hello everyone! I am very new to orca and 3d printing. Does anyone know what is ...

try slowing down your printing speed on the supports and infill to match the outer wall speed...

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:18 PM

#

alright

#

I dont seem to have that option

#

only perctange

#

#

unless

#

im in the wrong spot

sage wind May 7, 2025, 10:19 PM

#

try under the speed tab

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:20 PM

#

i may be tweaking

#

but

sage wind May 7, 2025, 10:20 PM

#

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:20 PM

#

there is no speed tab

#

sage wind May 7, 2025, 10:21 PM

#

and turn on the advanced switch.

sage wind May 7, 2025, 10:22 PM

#

tame rivet

there is. turn on advanced... ^

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:22 PM

#

lol

#

appreciate that

sage wind May 7, 2025, 10:23 PM

#

ok.. did you find it?

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:23 PM

#

indeed i did thank you

#

is that all the problem would be?

sage wind May 7, 2025, 10:28 PM

#

tame rivet is that all the problem would be?

i dont know.
you need to test it first with something small.

#

like xyz cube or benchy

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:28 PM

#

alright

#

im swapping the nozzle too

#

just in case

sage wind May 7, 2025, 10:30 PM

#

tame rivet im swapping the nozzle too

no.....dont do that...

#

one thing at a time.

#

change the speed = then test...
if that didnt work.... THEN change the nozzle...and test....

if you suspected it was the nozzle.... why didnt you change that first? 😅

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:34 PM

#

I didn’t suspect it to be the nozzle

#

Someone responded on Reddit

#

Saying it’s most likely a nozzle problem

sage wind May 7, 2025, 10:39 PM

#

tame rivet Saying it’s most likely a nozzle problem

ok... u got the link to the thread...?
yes it can clog, but lets start with speed cos it's easier.
usually clogs aren't in the nozzle anyway... usually further up...

tame rivet Saying it’s most likely a nozzle problem

if i remember correctyly you said it worked fine with other slicers right

#

so it shouldnt be nozzle

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:44 PM

#

well not perfectly

#

but it didnt do this

#

the most i had with cura

#

was just stringing

knotty holly May 7, 2025, 10:44 PM

#

stringing is ussaly heat problem its not the saim

#

did you change the nozzlenow

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:49 PM

#

no

knotty holly May 7, 2025, 10:50 PM

#

what did you do now

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:50 PM

#

nothing yet

#

was going to print

#

a test print

#

probably benchy

knotty holly May 7, 2025, 10:51 PM

#

what did you change

#

like for you doing test print

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:54 PM

#

what do you mean?

knotty holly May 7, 2025, 10:54 PM

#

like did you change anything for you to do test print

#

why are you doing test print

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:55 PM

#

should I not?

#

I thought I was meant to

knotty holly May 7, 2025, 10:55 PM

#

do calibration cube its faster

#

to print

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:55 PM

#

alright

knotty holly May 7, 2025, 10:56 PM

here

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:57 PM

#

thank you!

#

Ill load it up

#

well level it first

#

then print it

knotty holly May 7, 2025, 10:57 PM

#

ok

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:57 PM

#

question

knotty holly May 7, 2025, 10:57 PM

#

yea

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:57 PM

When I hit slice

#

the Z portion of the cube disapears

#

#

top down view

knotty holly May 7, 2025, 10:58 PM

#

anable top walls

#

go to strenght tab

#

and you will se top/bottomshells

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 10:59 PM

#

knotty holly May 7, 2025, 10:59 PM

#

but upper vaue on 2,3

5

#

5

#

but it no 5 for may strenght

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 11:00 PM

#

alright

knotty holly May 7, 2025, 11:00 PM

#

and you can chose lightning for faster printing

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 11:00 PM

#

is it worth it?

knotty holly May 7, 2025, 11:02 PM

#

yes

#

its faster for that kidn of stuff which are not in hard conditions

sage wind May 7, 2025, 11:18 PM

#

knotty holly and you can chose lightning for faster printing

yes, but in this case we are also testing the infill, to see if speed is the issue. infill is usually printed the fastest...
if the hotend can't keep up, it'll string like this too...

whether it allows the printer to get up enough speed to have the same issues, i'm not sure. a baseline is a great idea.

knotty holly May 7, 2025, 11:31 PM

#

oo fair enough i didnt think that way

#

but yea it looks like sevear unextrudon

#

@tame rivet hows the test going

tame rivet May 7, 2025, 11:35 PM

#

Still not level yet

#

Haven’t even started

#

From what I’ve seen on Reddit is that the Ender 5 plus is a pain to level

#

And so far that’s been my experience

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 12:03 AM

#

idk how even it looks like

#

yea try level bad i quess

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 12:18 AM

#

Forgot to mention

#

Started the print

#

@knotty holly @sage wind

#

It’s finished

#

#

Let me get a better photo

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 12:25 AM

#

Yes pls

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 12:25 AM

#

Hm

#

Having an issue with photos

#

The same thing happened though

#

If I take it off the end

#

Bed

#

It will break into multiple parts

#

But can’t get a photo unless it’s off the bed

What filmwere you running

#

Klipper marlin?

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

Firmware?

#

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

Like what is printers operating system

#

Its stock ender 5 plus right

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

Tea

#

Yes

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

Ok give me a minute

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 12:27 AM

#

Slicer is orca, printer is creality Ender 5 plus

#

#

Can literally see through it

#

#

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 12:30 AM

#

Ok now go onto your slicer and scheck infill settings and walls

#

It should be under strenght section

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 12:31 AM

#

oh crap

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 12:31 AM

#

On privious picture it seems you didnt had infill and you only had 1 wall loop

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 12:31 AM

#

#

its at 0

#

for some reaosn

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 12:31 AM

#

Wput it cca 10

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 12:31 AM

#

hitting the reset button brings the infill density to 15

#

cca?

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 12:32 AM

#

Ok change that

#

That might change a lot

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 12:32 AM

#

#

so this?

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 12:33 AM

#

Yes

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 12:33 AM

#

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

Right timing

#

How it looks like

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

Something bad happened

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

Ooo ouuu

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:06 AM

#

#

Top half uhhh

#

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 1:07 AM

#

Ok thats very interesting

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:07 AM

#

Top part was attached to the nozzle

#

I had to grab it off

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 1:07 AM

#

Ok

#

Do you have the right z offsfet

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:08 AM

#

I thought so

#

now im thinking its too close

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 1:08 AM

#

Did you do paper test

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:08 AM

#

yea

#

I think maybe i set it one too low

#

and it needs just to be bumped up

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 1:09 AM

#

How hard was paper

#

To pull

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:09 AM

#

wasnt too much

#

a moderate ammount

#

I dont use paper for the test

#

I use a uhhh

#

one of those flexible measuring things

#

it has exact measurments on it

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 1:10 AM

#

A ok i usualy use paper but if that is used for that it is the right

#

It should be about 0.2mm from bad to nozzle tip at Z0

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:11 AM

#

I use 0.2mm

#

on the stick thing

#

i forget what its called

#

mind is blanking

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 1:11 AM

#

Ok than it should be ok

#

Meabe research online if anyone had saum problem

knotty holly And for the z offsfet try printing one lqyer and than inspecct it

alright thanks

knotty holly May 8, 2025, 1:14 AM

so far

#

ive tried messing with infill density

#

uhh

#

and speed

#

of infill

#

basically it so far I believe

abstract zealot May 8, 2025, 1:15 AM

#

and you had no issues with your old slicer?

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:15 AM

#

except for really bad stringing

abstract zealot May 8, 2025, 1:15 AM

#

👌

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:15 AM

#

here

#

im not getting any stringing

#

just the prints are seperating in the middle

abstract zealot May 8, 2025, 1:15 AM

#

can you try printing a maxflowrate test

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:16 AM

#

alright

#

abstract zealot May 8, 2025, 1:16 AM

#

👌

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:17 AM

#

is that good?

abstract zealot May 8, 2025, 1:17 AM

#

yep

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:17 AM

#

alright

abstract zealot May 8, 2025, 1:17 AM

#

you can stop the print when it starts separating assuming it doesnt instantly start separating...

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:17 AM

#

looks like this?

abstract zealot May 8, 2025, 1:18 AM

#

yep

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:18 AM

#

what is the goal of this btw?

#

loading into printer now

#

just curious what it does

#

new to printing

abstract zealot May 8, 2025, 1:18 AM

#

its like testing the speed but flowrate is a more exact mesure, this does loops increasing speed every few layers

#

itl help me understand if your speeds are an issue or if something else is wrong

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:19 AM

#

alright

#

it ssays

#

about 20 minutes

#

no

#

50

#

👍

abstract zealot May 8, 2025, 1:20 AM

#

it probably will start separating before it gets all the way thru so can be stopped early

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:21 AM

#

atrue'

#

true*

abstract zealot May 8, 2025, 1:21 AM

#

@ me when its ready

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 1:21 AM

will do

#

@abstract zealot

#

just a heads up

#

i forgot to clean the bed before printing

#

so the adhesion got messed up

#

reprinting it now

tame rivet May 8, 2025, 2:00 AM

and nozzle clogged

#

alrighty then\

sage wind May 8, 2025, 2:08 AM

Is it done?

Or still cleaning out the nozzle\throat?
