Reverse elephant foot
Hey everyone.
I have an issue where the top layer is doing a reverse elephant foot.
Does anyone have an idea or seen it before to know what might be causing it?
Material is PLA from filament PM...
Horrible Top Layer and a groove?
Just wrapped the guides and finished PA/EM so I decided to do a cal cube.
This is an untouched Prusa slicer profile.
Assuming the blob on top means more retraction?

Extrusion inconsistencies
I really don't understand why, but when printing Overture PETG I'm getting very inconsistent extruding depending on what it's printing. Walls? Relatively decent. Anything else? Absolute gsrbage.garbage. The stringing I can deal with, though it isn't ideal. But my supports are looking terrible and my infil isn't much better. I don't understand why, as there's no difference in my speed or anything else with the exception of bridging but there's none of that in my pictures. I've got it running 55mm...
extrusion issues
Finishing up my 500mm machine, toolhead is an orbiter 2, and rapido 2F.
I used the rotation distance provided by LDO for the orbiter, and checking it seems accurate. My problem is with possible over extrusion. I have a pretty basic orca slicer profile, did not touch much other than setting the nozzle to 0.6mm (and 0.6 in klipper).
The brim is flawless, absolutely perfect, but the first layer of the actual model seems over extruded. Any thoughts?...
Vcore 4 endless ringing
Hey guys I’m desperately trying to get rid of ringing. I have the 500mm vcore 4 hybrid and can’t get rid of ringing on my benchy. I have spend hours and hours tuning the belts and making sure everything is aligned, but something just doesn’t seem to work. I’m using prusament pla and have turned the speeds down to 2000mm/^2 external perimeters and 50mm/s outside walls. Btw this is only using the core xy kinematics, as I haven’t added the hybrid stuff yet. I also attached my input shaper graphs as...
SuperSlicer won't extrude first layer
Hiya,
Been trying to get Superslicer to work again as I'm having some print quality issues with Orca. However SS doesn't want to lay down a first layer irrespective of the version. It used to be fine but for some reason doesn't want to work anymore
Attached is a succesful print from Orca (30x30x0.2) cube and the identical failure from SS. Running on a VC300 with RatOS 2.1 and Beacon Contact. ...
Printer stops due to overheating
I try to print a wide flat part out of ASA for my ERCF buffer. It stopped at the point in the picture.
Klipper throws out the error in the second picture.
I suspect that the extrudermotor got close overheating due to being close to the 105°C bed.
Is there an elegant way around this apart from watercooling the extruder motor od using a different filament?...
Solution:
I shortened the thermisor and hotend connetor wires and rewired. Seems that was in fact the problem. Thanks!
Internal bridging issues
I have a problem where internal bridges will not connect to the perimeters, leaving the filament to curl at the edges and thus making the following layers ugly. I can't seem to find the correct setting in the slicer to make this interal bridge reach the edges. Can somebody tell me, what to change in my setting?
First Layer problems
Hey, I have a Vcore 3.1 500 and even after a long time of fails you might can help me.
I never get the first layer right as the printer seems to "over-calculate" the Z-offset when doing the first layer, normally it should flaten out the humps and bumps in the bed but in the areas where bumps are it drives the nozzle too high leading to non-sticking areas and on the other end on humps it drives the nozzle into the bed leading to stop the flow completely due to closing the nozzle by pressure of the bed. in the middle where the z-ofset is set its perfect.
I even ordered a beacon to probe it even better but this didn't help at all, also setting up the complete printer from the ground didn't chance it.

Stringing Isue
Hello. I use "clone (Non original)mosquito magnum hotend" on my v core 3.1 printer. I use cura as a slicer. When I set the retraction setting to 5mm, there is no threading or speciation, but since I use a direct-drive extruder, the filament bubbles and constantly clogs at the 5mm retraction setting. That's why I reduced the retraction distance to 2mm, but as you can see in the picture, it leaves too much thread. When you make it 2mm less, it becomes more. I use esun pla+. The printer operates at...
Sagging ASA on overhangs
I'm trying to print a new logo head for some part updates and I seem to be getting a lot of sagging issues with my ASA on the overhangs.
Using my qidi xmax 3 at 250c with chamber at 60, no cooling save for 20% on overhangs and printing at 40mm/s on outer wall, 60 inner. Tried supports but no luck....
overextrusion in some areas
I have recently tried many things to combat ringing and bulging of corners on a calibration cube.
Būt for this file I have another issue. One corner is rounded, the other kinda straight but with a miniscule bulge that translates in ringing like effect.
So Y->X movement does that. X -> Y movement looks great.
PA tuned, shaper tuned. Tried slow speeds, fast speeds. Slow accel and high accel. High both do better in terms of overall quality.
Same on calibration cubes....
Filament is sticking to the internal Teflon tube of the Hotend
Hello all, I have a Phaetus Rapido UHF Hotend and I'm calibrating the first layer, but although I can print the first layer without any problems, I can't make a second print because the filament gets stuck to the internal Teflon tube of the hotend. This is the second time I have had to disassemble it to unclog. I'm using the temperatures recommended by the supplier, and the filament is Elegoo PLA+. Could this be due to the filament or the Teflon tube? I really need some help, thanks.
Solution:
Thank you very much for your attention. I've solved the issue; it turns out the Hotend wasn't being cooled enough by the fan.
