#3dprintingfails

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

This is a new one for me.

I ran a successful race track and turned up my VF to a number I thought was reasonable and ran a print.

I’m running Polylite PETG and had some spool lifting in the AMS that bound it up but I cleared that and restarted the print only to come back to the printer shredding its own print, spraying little bits of PETG everywhere.

Not sure if it’s the filament feeding or the VF that wrecked it, will have to try again tomorrow.

@3dprinting #3DPrinting #3DPrintingFails I had a partially clogged (the two broken in the middle pieces) and then a completely clogged nozzle while printing 3 dwarfs’s bodies. Several cold pulls later I was able to reprint them, but I’ll never get this filament again! It is wet (I tried 3 colours and all are wet in different amounts); I dried them between 8 and 18 hours without any noticeable improvement in the print quality!
