New filament - Overture Fossil Rock PLA - causing interesting print failures. First few layers are printing good, and then around layer 4 or 5 I see something that looks like wave pattern in the lines (see the photo).
I’ve tried flow calibration test for this filament, but it seems like settings for “Overture PLA” were mostly okay, at least in this regard.
I wonder what else should I try? Every other third-party filament I used before was working fine.
Looks like over extrusion to me. Not a too-high flow rate thing.
Under extrusion because you’re going faster than the flow rate allows wouldn’t result in the raised ridges and bumps.
Over extrusion, too much squishes out to the side and when the extruder runs the next adjacent pass, where those bumps are there’s no place for the new plastic to go so it gets forced up over the previously extruded plastic and you get bumps.
But I can’t think of any reason that’d be related to the filament that’d cause that “pulsing”.
You can also print this part with 100% infill and it will not do the bridge layer
Just so you know on bridge settings and if you have to change them on another part
You will have to adjust your bridge flow ratio in Bambu Studio lower.
If using Orca Slicer you can adjust the internal bridge flow setting lower.
You can also change the bridge speeds as needed from 10 to 80 mm/s in Orca you can also change the bridge acceleration.
Look at your flow in the drop down menu and speeds to see the range your layer is @
Bridge Sample:
The current flow is @ 1 so let’s set it to 0.80 and the speed was 50 and we change it to 30 mm/s with 1500 mm/s acceleration the bridge layer will not be 100% perfect but should be flat.
The flow you can adjust in 0.05 + or - steps and the speed can be 10 to 80 mm/s depending on the filament being used.
