Seam causing issues
Having quality issues on my Ratrig which I don't have on my CR10
Two on the left are from CR10 and 3 on the right are from Ratrig.
Printer settings are identical for Filament & Process (using Orca Slicer). The slicer is placing the seam identically in the same place between the two printers. Printing in different locations on the Bed gives identical results and so not a specific mechanical issue as far as I can tell)...
kind of at a loss
Not really sure where I need to be looking for changes on this particular section of the print.. thought maybe bridging but now that I have bridging mostly under control and it's still doing it. Not really sure what to look at next for this.
Prusament PA11 Settings
Hello all, so seeking some advice regarding setting for Prusament PA11. Seen some amazing results on here of super clean prints but I keep getting defects and blobbs of material.
I have tried on Prusa slicer and now onto Orca so I can use all the calibration functions. And I still haven't been able to crack it. Of someone could shed some light on where I'm going wrong or share some settings that would be greatly appreciated 👌...
Layer width shrinks/expands when cooling bridges on top of infill
Im printing PETG in an enclosure, at 80/235. Im printing without the fan on, but I have to turn it on for bridges (first layer on top of infill). When the fan kicks on, I think it cools the newly added wall layer, and creates a difference in how molten the next layer is or something. Is there a way to avoid this?
Under extrusion problems at solid infill
Hello everyone. So i have a problem while tuning my own prusaslicer profile.
Using Ratrig V-core 3.1 500, Phaetus rapido 0.6 volcano, Bondtech lgx-lite, and the filament is Polymaker Polylite PLA.
Machine has been IS, PA, skew tuned, and PA is set to 0.03 (same as default rapido profile in RatOS)
The current speed and extrusion width are shown in the image...
is this underextruding?
I've run Elli's EM cubes and I felt liked I got it tuned well but then I do this big print and I'm questioning that fact. I feel like this is under extruded but since I don't have a ton of experience I was hoping to get a confirmation or two first.
Solution:
I've fixed all my under extrusion issues now. I'm seriously about to walk out the door to go on vacation for a week to the beach, but uping the current to the extruder driver from 0.35 -> 0.4 fixed everything.

Bad quality print
This is my first print on my new V-core 3.1 500³. The gyroid infill is really bad & caused the top layer to not have enough to stick to leaving holes in the top layer. The bottom & walls look fine with just a little retraction to be tuned in.
I sliced in OrcaSlicer with 200mm/s inner, outer & infill with 100mm/s for top surface. 0.2 layer with 0.6mm for inner & outer wall & 0.4 everywhere else.
I am using RatRig green ABS 265°C with 95% flow ratio.
Any suggestions to fix this???...
consistent Z marks
I was running some ghosting prints which turned out OK other than the Consistant Z marks.
This is the second print in a row with the same marks, when I shine the light you can see each ridge is creating a shadow!
I'm not sure if this is more a setting issue or actual z rod problems.
Any help appreciated!...
inconsistent overlap/bridge
Any idea why one of the bridges are perfect and the other is really bad? They are very similar in shape.

What is making my corners look like this?
Recently calibrated PA for PETG to a value of 0.04015 and smooth time of 0.02s on a 0.6mm nozzle
filament has been dried recently and they should be square corners...
Solution:
i used the tower v2, have since used ellis' tool and have a much smaller value, closer to what i would expect, going to mark as complete
Any guesses on WHY this type of cooling issue occurs??
Hey all! So I feel like this is a question I should know the answer to, but I'm gonna be honest I'm still a little stumped and hoping someone here might be able to ELI5.
Often times when printing multiple parts, especially if one part fans upward and outward from the build plate, I'll end up with a scenario similar to the attached picture - the part fanning up and out will have curling up edges, droopage, poor surface quality, etc. and just becomes an overall mess. This specific picture is with PLA, fwiw but I'm pretty sure it's happened on me with other filaments too.
While I am pretty certain that it's a cooling issue at its core, what is stumping me a little is the WHY. Specifically:...
Consistent Z banding pattern on ASA
I'm printing new parts to update my vcore 3.1 using polymaker Asa and the first one to finish had very consistent z-banding to the point it was a pattern.
No other filament does this and I'm new to working with ASA so it's probably just a settings issue. Likely printed too fast, happy to hear opinions.
Orcaslicer...
Solution:
Answer found! It was due to the inner walls printing first. Set Orcaslicer to outer/inner and it printed properly.
Bendy corners on the enclosure magnet frames in ABS enclosed
I’m trying to print the magnet holder for the frame for the vcore enclosure. I have tried all z-offset and temperatures, but the corners will still bend slightly. It’s so small that I can’t really get a picture of it. Looking at the first layer from the bottom, it looks like the squish is fine. Is it supposed to look different?

Huge layer shifts twice and last bit disappeared
On my new v-core 3.1 300 build tried a fairly lengthy overnight print. Have been successful with a few other long prints, but this one did something really odd. About 10% in, it seems that the print head just shifted 1 to 2 cm in X and Y. The same happened again another 10% into the print. And the last 10-20% just seemed to not print at all. I did have a timelapse being filmed (sorry about my poor camera angle, gotta fix that) but even looking at it frame-by-frame where things went wrong cannot figure it out. I uploaded the timelapse to my google drive here : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hTUkjHNCfb5uChPPo7AK1ACwfJcuaHTD/view?usp=sharing.
No errors were reported on the console. After the failed print, I tested toolhead movement and it seemed completely normal. But when I tested extrusion, it could not feed filament, so that explains why the last 10-20% failed to print, presumably because of the jam. Turns out the spool of PLA somehow got crossed up (see last picture)--not sure how that happened as it was a new roll of filament. After unloading, untangling the spool, and reloading, extrusion worked perfectly.
But the filament jam does not explain the huge layer shifts. I have observed no problems with the toolhead movement system during weeks of operation. I have been converting from PrusaSlicer to SuperSlicer. Could a "too fast" toolhead move cause this? Or could it have hit the printed object and jammed momentarily (seems unlikely, would think it would have just knocked it off the bed)?...
Vcore 500 ghosting Y
Any ideas? Vcore 500 reworked. Perfect charts. When making test prints, Y is perfect. There is huge ghosting on X. I've been struggling with this for some time now and I can't figure it out... Another thing is it's good that the xy charts are so close to each other?
