Good afternoon! I’m printing on a Bambu Lab X1CC. I’ve encountered a problem where the filament continues to flow slightly from the nozzle when the filament is running through the nozzle. Additionally, the filament continues to flow from the nozzle after calibration. Essentially, the filament is constantly flowing from the nozzle, which negatively affects the quality of the print, especially the first layer. I’ve tried adjusting the temperature, but it hasn’t helped. Can you suggest a solution to ensure that the filament flows from the nozzle only when necessary?
You need to dry your filament.
When there is moisture in the filament, when it enters the hot end, the heat causes the water to turn to steam, which increases the pressure inside the hot end, which forces plastic out of the nozzle even when the extruder motor isn’t running.
It’s not an uncommon issue.
Hi @Roman_Fale
Welcome to the forum.
Can you be more precise and provide details regarding the filament material, brand, profile, and, most importantly, whether it is calibrated and dried?
