Installed a Bozzle, started getting a weird new vfa
So:
V-Core 3.1 300, RR Toolhead w/ beacon, rapido2, orbiter 2
-Speed independent: They appear to be spaced the same distance at 50mms and 200mms.
-Happens as 1000mms² and 4000mms² exterior perimeter accel....
Internal solid infill issue
I’m printing this case and it has a few layers of internal solid infill. This issue has popped up and it was worse before I decreased the print speed. Should I continue to decrease the speed for this infill until it fixes it or is there another solution?
Using V-core 4 hybrid, have problems with my prints
Have problem when printing, some disturbance in my prints, I did all pře print setups like beacon calibration, belt tension, shaper graphs. It's probably something trivial, I am just stack on what it is:).
Over extrusion (maybe?)
Still tuning my new v-core 4 500 hybrid and I think I'm running into an over extrusion issue?
Just wanted to get another set of eyes on it.
Thanks...
Vcore-4 layer shift (new printer)
I just finished commissioning my first RatRig (and first DIY printer). I printed the skew print which worked great, so I started a random test print, and the X/Y seem to have shifted part way through the print. The print was still stuck to the bed, so it wasn't the print that moved. I've not seen this before and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it. Good news is that the first layer looked pretty good.
Any advice is appreciated as I'm not sure where to start!...
support for tall and narrow structures - seeking ideas :-)
how do i create some support / stabilizers for things like on the picture
This particular structure is roughly 20x30x370mm, and the thing needs to be printed like this...
I am looking for something like 2 or 3, 45 degree supports from the build plate to the structure at half height.
...
Solution:
design break away supports into the original CAD design
ASA overhangs
I'm having trouble printing bed arms in ASA. I'm running the "latest" RatRig toolhead with Orbiter 2 5 and can get my chamber up to 45C (so far) and overhangs appear terrible in an otherwise flawless print. Fans are at stock RR Generic Orca ASA speeds, any more and the whole thing warps. I tried bringing nozzle and bed temps down to 250/100, with little improvement
Good mesh, bad first layer.
Hey guys, relatively new here. I have a VC4-500 Idex and after calibration, it seems that I have good gantry twist and a decent mesh, but when I go to print, I still can't seem to get a good first layer. It almost seems like the printer is overcompensating for the mesh in some places. I have read a lot of posts on heat soaking, but in every one they seem to also have a problem getting a good mesh, so I'm a little lost on this one. Any thoughts? (Btw, the "sag" on the mesh is in the y axis direc...
Solution:
So just in case anyone else is having this problem. Even though it said i didn't need the scan compensation, I found a thread that lead me to believe that because of a certain setting I had on, I needed it to determine the thermal offset compensation. So I ran BEACON_CREATE_SCAN_COMPENSATION_MESH BED_TEMP=85 PROFILE=Contact , and it fixed the first layer, now it's printing perfectly. Interestingly enough, the contact mesh is a near inverse of the normal scanning mesh. I'm not sure what that say...
Bad/weak prints
So I'm spent 2 days printing this in PETG, and this is how it looks after cleaning it up, removing supports, welding a piece of it back on that broke off, and trying to make it look half way presentable. And it's still garbage. I've been printing in PETG a long time with a lot of successful prints. But I have no idea what's been happening to my RatRig 3.1 500. Ever since I upgraded to the newer tool head, it's been problem after problem and I've had to rebuild it twice. Is this just a Super Slic...
Overhang or over extrusion after overhang issues consistently
I am not quite sure what I am missing in this situation, but I am seeing issues with what looks like overextrusion just after an overhang on my lithophanes.
I have tried reducing the temperature, increasing the part cooling, slowing the print speed from a max of 300mm/s to 100mm/s and still have issues with the same area in multiple prints of different heights.
The bottom frame looks good other than elephants foot that is because I set the offset lower on this print....
Are these belt artifacts?
Struggling to get my VC4 hybrid to print at the quality of my VC3. One major issue I’m seeing are these artifacts. Is this from belt teeth? If so anything to help reduce them?
?Overextrusion? on small surface areas?
Probably someone has a good idea for me.
Seeing this ?overextrusion? on this small filled surfaces.
While wide and flat surfaces are quite good.
Flow and PA are calibrated and checked....
Z wobble only in one corner of the print
This print is getting a z wobble only on one corner of the bed. It could also be related to it being more of a x-move compared to the arc that comes before that corner. The arc portion does not have the same wall artifacts as the corner. Anyone have any thoughts?
Infill failure
I believe it's a retraction problem on my 3.1 500. But even after tinkering with it I still get constant artifacts flying off the print. I've reduced the extrusion to 96%. Printing PETG at 235. I did a calibration cube that came out great but this benchy is giving me problems when I get to the point it starts the infill. Any suggestions?
Elephants Foot
Just got my Vcore4 IDEX 500 running. Test prints at looking good, besides a little bit of elephants foot/first layer extrusion. I tried upping the z-offset in RatOS a little and changing elephants foot compensation in Prusa’s slicer from .15mm to .25 with little to no effect. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
