Hey there, I have a problem with my printer /settings, could anyone help me how to fix this? Tried different Temperatures and Z-Heights, it seems to entangle itself whilst moving down to print (filament already sticking out a bit?)
My printer is an Ender 3 S1 Pro and I use PLA (190-220deg)
Changed filaments now it doesnt work anymore. Used original creality filament yesterday, that worked, now sth from the internet (doesnt work).
Thats the model i wanted to print
earnest oasis
check the video in my profile . i guess you suffer from that issue
safe berry
I will try, thank you!
But do you think this is the problem as it worked with another filament yesterday?
earnest oasis
you might have had been lucky. sometimes the colour has a huge impact on properties

This filament looks like the gross free stuff you get with a printer.
Also it looks like your nozzle is too far from the bed or you are under extruding
safe berry
Yeah the free stuff works better than the Flashforge one I had for the print on the picture, seems like originals work better... And yes, the height was too high too, it was shorting the turns as it was hanging down the nozzle... Trying it again today:)
safe berry
So Creality likes to be fed with original filament xD
safe berry
Well it works now
earnest oasis
Just dont buy more stuff from them
safe berry
Well, which one works too if I shouldnt buy more from Creality??
earnest oasis
Are you in the eu or in amerika?

GER
earnest oasis
Hmm timmory ereyone and primavalue are my go too filaments herr
*here
Im close to beat the 700kg mark on primavalue 😄
safe berry
And what speaks against Creality?
earnest oasis
Sofar .. inconsisten colours, horrible diametervariaton, very bad spooling,
Unless you pay 5 € per spool i would never buy it
safe berry
Okay, can you imagine, why the Flashforge one doesnt really work on my printer? Seems to be too slimy or sth even at 220.C
safe berry
Yea both 190-220deg PLA
safe berry
And by slimy you mean its very shiny?
Nah it just sticks to the nozzle and entangles itself with it
earnest oasis
Might need a different bed temp or is moist
safe berry
Tried everything fom 60 to like 45, or should it be even higher or lower?
earnest oasis
Higher you have a pei coated bed. Its sticking powers start at 60c
safe berry
I dont have a clue what that is, as ive just entered the hobby, which one is it on the Ender 3 S1 Pro?
earnest oasis
Also finger grease greatly reduces the sticking power. It dont go away that easy with isoproplyalcohol so you need to whipe several times or use water and soap
Pei powder coated with a slight structure usally
safe berry
Ah interesting... So my 1kg PLA thing that doesnt stick... Could I use it after the first layers and print it over the Creality one? Because im running out of material on that, I mean its a test run, but I am able to finish it I would try that...
earnest oasis
You can change filament during a print yes. But i cant tell you how well that will work with these two materials
safe berry
Yeah okay I think I will try this, so after I paused the print, can I move the printer up to fill in the new filament better or isnt it returning to the position?
earnest oasis
I thik it even has a menu option change filament
safe berry
I will look into that, thank you!

So small Update: Model with Creality PLA did finish fine, now I managed to get the Flashforge one to work with higher bed temp of 70deg. Normally it says lower but it works now so Im happy 😉
