what are your retraction values

halcyon gulch
neon basin
#

if thats the slicer you are using

halcyon gulch
#

yep 1 sec lemme get it

neon basin
#

okay and whats your layerheight?

halcyon gulch
#

0.2mm

neon basin
#

hmm and you are printing with pla?

halcyon gulch
#

yep

#

i just got some pla plus that came yesterday

#

so i might use that instead

neon basin
#

you can try increasing the retraction speed to 35 mm/s

#

also check if your printer is retracting. there is an issue where sometimes the firmware is broken out of the box and the printer refuses to retract

halcyon gulch
#

how do i check that

#

will i just see it jerking back?

neon basin
#

is it retracting if you print?

halcyon gulch
#

like you mean after every layer?

neon basin
#

during printing not afer every layer. there can be more then 1 retraction

halcyon gulch
#

i dont really pay attention

#

if you send me something to print i can record it

#

or if it doesnt matter what i print i can just print something small thats already on the sd

neon basin
halcyon gulch
#

mm

neon basin
#

that should be the fastest way

halcyon gulch
#

i already have a file like that

#

but its a cone

#

instead of 2 cylindars

#

but i will use this cuz it has the new settings

#

1 min let me put them on

neon basin
#

i have roughly 30 mins left then i fall asleep 😄

halcyon gulch
#

lmso

#

if you want to vc in dms or something so i can show u on camera?

neon basin
#

no lets stay here you can take images and send them via phone 🙂

#

also somebody else can chime in here

halcyon gulch
#

what do you me

#

an

#

its only me and you?

neon basin
#

yes but its open for every one here 🙂

halcyon gulch
#

oh ye

#

i get you

#

its still warming up

#

ill record when it starts to print

neon basin
#

i see one issue already

#

you have no clip on the pushfit on your hotend side

#

you also need one there

#

because the bowden tube can still move a little up and down there

#

( a thin ziptie also works)

halcyon gulch
#

i dont understand

#

ohh

#

but can it really make that much of a difference?

#

because ive changed the entire hot end

#

thats y its not there anymore

halcyon gulch
neon basin
#

it make retraction unrealiabe and can also create a gap between nozzle and tube in side the heatblock and then you also get issues like you are describing

halcyon gulch
#

what about the ghosting then

#

same thing?

neon basin
#

ghosting is mostly speed related

#

or belt tension

halcyon gulch
#

how do i know when the belt is too loose or too tight?

neon basin
#

mostly if you get ghosting or your printer starts shifting layers in one direction

halcyon gulch
#

but it ghosts in both directions😂

neon basin
#

one problem at a time 😄 ohterwise it gets compilcated

#

how is the tower going

halcyon gulch
#

lemme take a pic

#

like you can see it being weird

neon basin
#

look like you get tree branches. these have 2 causes either too less or too much retraction. i suggest you try 5 mm retractiondistance 🙂

halcyon gulch
#

ok

#

printing the same thing?

neon basin
#

id say so

halcyon gulch
#

ok

#

is there any temparary fixes for the zip tie thing

neon basin
#

that would be a ziptie

halcyon gulch
#

i dont have one rn

#

will it really make that much of a difference?

neon basin
#

yes

halcyon gulch
#

or shall i stop it?

neon basin
#

you can stop it and this is what can happen if the bowden tube slips

halcyon gulch
#

ohh ok

#

that makes sense

#

ok its about to start

#

still making the distance 35 yh?

neon basin
#

5 mm not 35

halcyon gulch
#

the speed is 5

#

but the distance it 35 right?

neon basin
#

....

#

nope

halcyon gulch
neon basin
#

thats correct

halcyon gulch
#

i mean the otherway round sory

neon basin
#

it happens but i have to point it out to avoid catastropy

halcyon gulch
#

ye i understand

neon basin

#

@neon basin

neon basin
#

Looks bettee though

#

You can try up to 6mm retraction distance and experiment with speeds

#

I go to bed now. I need my beauty sleep

halcyon gulch
#

yo bro

#

u here/

neon basin
halcyon gulch
#

sorry bro idk y it dont ping me

#

so i need to manually chack if u respended

#

responded*

#

what should i change the distance to now?

neon basin
#

You can experiment with speeds now

#

Would not go for more then 6.5 mm because that increasea the clog chance

halcyon gulch
#

ok thank you boss
