Hi, I’ve got a question for you,a phenomenon I’ve come across on prints both on my A1 and X1C. As you can see in the picture, in the circle I drew, there’s what I call a layer or bed scrape, this seems to happen when the extruder wants to go from one place to another without lifting the extruder up while doing so, causing a scrape on the current layer. All other times while in the process of laying down plastic on the picture, the extruder is being constantly lifted when needed, but as said, this usually happens when the extruder needs to make a jump larger than normal and I notice that the printer does not lift the extruder whilst doing so. Do you know why this happens, is it a coding error, like I said, both my printers will do this occasionally, especially while it’s doing infill and it’s very noticeable when it happens being as you can hear it. I don’t mind at all if this is just one of those weird printer things, I just like to know why, that’s if you know why. Cheers.
Another example
First layers are perfect, bed levels seem good.
Like I said, it seems to not be lifting the extruder at these times, and I’ve seen this behavior with the X1C, that’s where I first noticed it, and then my newer A1 was doing it, I’m getting an A1mini today hopefully and I’ll,print this same picture and see what it does.
wird die ursache sein.
I can’t speak German, anyone else?
under others > g-code output > reduce infill retraction, deactivate this and test it again.
Ahh you’re a good man/woman, that sorted it out. I assume that the feature allows the print head to take shortcuts at the expense of damaging the current infill layer? I dont see why it simply can’t drop the Z axis when doing said manoeuvre! it also adds around 10 mins per print when unticked.
I also assume that dragging the print in this fashion is harmless to the machine and the overall finished print so its just an effective time saver feature?
Cheers.
