Sovol sv06 print problems

[manic kestrel]

I am helping a friend with his first 3d printer. Slicer settings and calibration should be fine. I am not entirely sure what causes this. Any ideas?

[worthy tide]

I believe this is called pillowing(?)

Correct me if I’m wrong on that

What material? @manic kestrel

[manic kestrel]

pla

[manic kestrel]

you are looking at the side

and not the top

[worthy tide]

Ohh

It was printed on the tail fins?

[manic kestrel]

let me ask

but I think so?

[worthy tide]

If so, adhesion is a big risk with that print lol

It might’ve not been stable

That’s the plane that folds its wings right

[manic kestrel]

I don't think an unstable print would explain this part

[worthy tide]

I’ve had little gaps in my print from it being unstable; so it’s just a guess

I notice there’s also some uneven edges

[manic kestrel]

good idea though

[worthy tide]

Give it a shot with the primitive technique known as the raft

Oogadooga

If that model is what I think it is then I had good success with using a raft

I printed mine on the tail fins too and before using a raft it would wobble a little

[worthy tide]

Wow

[manic kestrel]

worse than I expected xD

[worthy tide]

Yeah

Way worse

Did that filament come with that printer

Man he’s got everything

Rolling walls

[worthy tide]

Is he new to printing

[manic kestrel]

yeah but I tweaked and fixed his profile and calibration yesterday

[worthy tide]

R u in person with him or just texting

[manic kestrel]

should be good filament

I went there in person, right now I am just texting

[worthy tide]

Did you level his bed

Or did he do it

[manic kestrel]

Auto bed leveling

[worthy tide]

Oh

[manic kestrel]

and his first layer looked perfect

I also did esteps, flow and linear advance

and retraction

[worthy tide]

Hmm

Try printing the xyz calibration cube and see what it looks like rq

If the problems pass over to the cube then you’ll know it’s not the model and actually his settings

[manic kestrel]

I should just invite him to this discord I guess xD usually I am really good with this but I have more experience with delta and core xy

[worthy tide]

He’s welcome anytime

[manic kestrel]

I am not entirely sure if this is flow or movement

[worthy tide]

It looks like both

Sorta

I see under-extrusion but I also see points where it looks like maybe the filament didn’t stick to the print and got dragged a little

[manic kestrel]

@high moth

[worthy tide]

He made an account just for this convo lmao

[manic kestrel]

nah he already used discord

just wasn't in this one^^

[worthy tide]

Oh nvm

I looked at the wrong date

Lmfao

[manic kestrel]

xD

I put the linear advance k factor in the start g code. I assume that should work? He is too lazy to use one of his many old laptops for octoprint xD

[worthy tide]

Yep

[manic kestrel]

his was really low but the test pattern looked great

@high moth ...

looks fine I guess?

[high moth]

I'm still trying to get the calibration cube images on here D:

yeah that one lol

The k factor flow calibration, we decided to go for -3

[manic kestrel]

you are mixing things up xD

that is flow

[high moth]

lol am i

That is very possible

anyways -3 on this :D

[manic kestrel]

I wonder if your weird nozzle makes this a bad way to test flow

[high moth]

This should be it then

[manic kestrel]

yeah but that is also fine

and 0.05 k factor is not going to do much

https://teachingtechyt.github.io/calibration.html#flow

use 3 walls (1.2 wall thickness)

and set the flow to 100% first

[high moth]

so not one as said on there?

[manic kestrel]

y

your measurement error with one wall is huge
