I also found a huge difference between filaments. Creality was terrible for me, Reflow is great

This really summarises the passive aggressive level you get to with a 3D printer: “Lift off the bed now you little fucker!”

So a combination of three changes finally got me back the correct result.

  1. Changed the nozzle for a brand new one, that helped a lot but still had a fee issues.
  2. Remeasured my extrusion amount and recalibrated the e-steps, they had gone quite a way out.
  3. Reduced the temp by 10°C apart from the first layer.

Thanks for your help!

I will check that, I hope its that as that would be an easy fix. Also I only use matte filament.

When you say pressure of the z-axis, do you know what they meant exactly? Not sure it could be temp as it’s the same, however I did change the part cooling fan in case that was faulty and the material wasn’t cooling fast enough

Any ideas on this new issue only affecting one of my printers, only seems to be on the bottom layers of a base mode print. The layers that are not done as one continuous spiral. Photos are before and after, ignore the banding on the before! (Thats another issue I have fixed)

Can’t figure this one out, driving me mad as I have orders to fulfil

Thanks! I’ll update the thread when I test it so there is a log for anyone else who may experience this issue.

[–] Prismo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That’s interesting, thank you, I’ll double check that too.

Extruder gears seem free, but I did just notice that the POM wheels on the x-gantry seem to have flat spots in them. This could be the cause so I’ve bought some new ones to test the theory.

I’ve not had any first layer issues, all have had good extrusion and adhesion. Nothing appears to be touching.

Could be, however. I’ve had the same issues with multiple filaments that I’ve used for over a year, however this has only been happening in the last month.

Normally slopes on my prints look fine, but recently I’ve been getting bad extrusion on some prints but not all. Same materials, same print file. Could this be one of the motors starting to fail? Printed on an ender 3.

Edit: so changing the POM wheels did nothing. However, I did notice while printing the layers weren’t cooling as much as they should before the next layer started. So maybe there could be a fan issue.
