I’m still new and have been printing for a couple of days. I don’t know what causes this… I tried to look up similar photos but couldn’t find any. Is this over extrusion or under extrusion or wet filament? This is my second print of this same box and the first one came out good. Any tips for fixing this? Thank you! (Also this is on a A1 using pla black basic, let me know if you need any more info.)
Hello there,
I have about the same questions regarding my issues, same here, i am new in bussiness, first 2-3 prints came out ok, but after that looks like when the layer is finished is still extruding. I think is because of humudity, therefore i bought a drier, still waiting for it to try it out to see if this is the problem.
Yeah let me know if the dryer works for you. That might be the problem, still not sure yet. On my previous prints I would have barely any thing wrong just a couple layers end up like this but nothing compared to the first three photos. The black eye photo is a print before this where it started doing it and I noticed it always does it on the left side. I recalibrated my A1 and haven’t had a problem as bad this one again.
“Always on the left side”
Do you have “Timelapse” enabled? Try one without it… They move the head aside every layer to take fancy pictures.
If that makes a noticable difference, it would mean that during the retracted travel, you’re oozing pretty hard. For PLA you should be able to tune it out completely. [Usually means reducing nozzle temp, minor flow reduction, drying, adjusting retractions, increasing travel speed, lots of factors]

Hello there,
I have received the drier, and i can see a big improvement in prints, looks like for me this was the problem, i cannot put pictures with before and after as i am new here, but it got the job done.
