Commissioning - Ripples in first layer

Hello, I am at the Z offset part of the Commisioning guide. I'm using PolymakerABS for the testing here. Will PA and EM fix the ripples here or should I be looking elsewhere? Based off my reading here I think my belts and mesh are okay? Any help would be appreciated!...

cleaner bridging and overhangs

Im in the process of printing the v-minion 1.1 parts and looking to clean up my bridging/over hangs in the logos (see attached example and default orca speed settings. This is printed in ASA at 260/100. You can see a defined ripple in the middle, looking at the bridging/overhang speeds in orca slicer makes me think that they are not correct. Thoughts?

Pressure advance issue? Other?

I tried to tune the Amazon Basics PETG. After some tests on V-Core 4 the print quality has deteriorated. The main recent change was SET_PRESSURE_ADVANCE ADVANCE=0.075 after a 10cm tower in Prusa Slicer filament Start G-Code. My slicer filament preset on the right an the Generic PETG on the left. Do you have suggestions to fix it?...

Holes in massive Infill but little overflow on top layer

Hello, This is ABS and I have little gaps in the massive infill but also a little bit overflow in the top layer. I print with 15mm/s max flow and have a speed of 200mm/s on the infill and 100mm/s on top layer. I am thankful for every idea or Tipp....

Nozzle is rattling against the print, making scrathing noise and producing top layer artifacts.

Hi, here is what the top layer look like (see pic), and I also added a video for you to hear the scrathing noise, it's a deep "RRRRRrrrr, RRRRRrrr", that can't be healthy for the nozzle. I also attached the gcode I used. the video if filming layer 2. What could that be?...
Solution:
How does the first layer look? Feels like over extrusion could be to blame.

Vertical ripples/horizontal lines/Z-banding

Hi everyone. I'm currently reprinting some parts of my VC4 using eSUN PA6-CF with a SiC nozzle. I have some strange horizontal lines (vertical ripples). See picture. The peak distance is around 1mm. The lines are going around the complete part, so it's not an X or Y layer shift. For me it looks like the flow for the outer perimeter is changing with height. (which cannot be IMHO)...

Issues with first layer. 0.6 nozzle and beacon

As you can see my layer is not good. And it becomes worse no matter if i increase or decrease the z offset

PETG Problems

So I'm having 2 issues while printing PETG on my VCore 3 500. One issue is bridging, even when supported. Small bridging isn't coming out terrible but not great either. But in further layers it ends up being good enough. In the second picture you can see top layers of the same print are coming out weird. I dont even know how to describe that. I'm running at 235 and will gladly send any additional info.

Wobbling / moved walls?

Hey all! I printed the first big and height print tonight. I wonder about the moved layers around the windows. Between the windows the wall is just thicker and this line above is just moved to the outside by around 0.1mm Overextrusion? To fast?...

The first layer worsens during printing

Do you have suggestions to get if fixed? I’ve followed the commissioning guide and printed a, heat tower. I’m printing with Amazon PETG....
Solution:
I’ve repeated the beacon calibration after heating the bed for an hour at 85ºC and now it appears to be solved

uneven walls.

Hi all. Does anyone had same problem and solved it? Walls on my print are not very even, but I don't see any repeatability so I assume it's not PID (I did that) or Z axis. Could this be because of too loose belts? If yes, how much do you tighten your vcore 4 500 belts?

VCore4 500 hybrid 2nd layer major over extrusion

I've been trying for a few days to print a bumbag and now have a solved my first layer issues enough to try the whole print. Shortly after the 2nd layer began, I'm getting this crazy over extrusion. A few blobs I can deal with but this is unusable. I can't decide if this is a Z issue, slicing, or flow calibration. I also don't know how to confirm if I have one of the faulty earlier release rapidos but that crossed my mind. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Printing in PLA with the rapido 2 uhf .6 nozzle for now. Dried it yesterday for 5 hours in sunlu s4. (Petg later if I like my layout) PID tuned the nozzle, did cold and hot meshes. Print was started after ~30 min preheat at 70c...

External Perimeter Resonance Issues - stretching/scratching marks on outer shell

I'm trying to figure out my best quality & speed settings for external perimeters to make the outer shell of the print. I've tuned extrusion, flow rate, temperature, cooling, etc. and am getting very good results as far as the tops and bottoms of things go, so now I'm onto Resonance, Pressure Advance, etc. I'm following the https://www.klipper3d.org/Resonance_Compensation.html guide, so Input Shaper and PA are off. Attached is my latest tuning tower, and a recent best surface finish print...
