You might check to see if the thermal paste is starting to dry out on your nozzle. The faster you print, the more heat has to transfer from the heater to the filament and this can be inhibited but the paste starting to break down.
It’s a new printer, I got it 27/12-2023 and have printed like 10-15 prints on it. So it should not be worn yet!
I also have an P1P since 6 months back, I’ve updated this printer to, but haven’t done any prints yet. I’ll try to print something with it later today, just to se if it acts the same.
If they’re using GD900, which they very likely are, it’s technically starting to break down at 200C. The further up you get away from this and for longer accelerates this breakdown. Most new users will likely be printing at low 210-220 for most of the introductory period so they won’t notice it until the requisite 6 months ‘my nozzle is clogging’ post here.
Dunno what you’re printing and at what temps, but highly indicative of thermal paste failure if you’ve already ruled out debris/half-burnt filament by doing cold pulls (assuming you’ve done that).
I have this occurring as well in normal mode. Passed calibrations and self test. Just bringing the printer up from 2 weeks of downtime from waiting for a support ticket to be answered for a completely separate issue (failed initialization and self test due to warped waste chute contacting the bed).
When I modified the chute and got it to pass calibration and self test, I also installed the new firmware
Interested to know if other see this, solutions, ideas?
I would post pictures but the wiki returns “your file is zero bytes” error every time and after dealing with the complete lack of customer support staff I am done…
195 seems low? Especially if you’re printing at faster speeds. I print Overture PLA+ at 220 without issues. On my previous printer I printed it at 210.
Thanks Josh. I am coming from an Tevo Tornado, so that’s why I was trying 195, it is my go to for pla. Didn’t know about the speed difference for the new higher speeds, I will do some research. I did come across a possible fix: The print that was failing multiple times was from MakerWorld and it was printed on a P1P printer. Just before I called it quits last night, I went back to the last file of any type that successfully printed and it was good. That tells me that something about the settings imported with the file is the issue. Just need to find it. After coffee of course…
Would love someone to chime in on me not being able to post normal old jpg pics from my phone to this wiki?
