Every time I print anything that screws into anything, I get strings of filament between the spiral parts of the design. Such as the Sunlu spool adapter and the screws from Buildfinity both have strings that make the screws break or the parts get stuck when I try to screw them into the corresponding parts.
The top is where I screwed the pieces together and got it stuck and had to work it back apart. This is using Bambu Basic Pla in red but I tried it in clear (Sunlu filament) and with Elegoo’s (grey PLA) got the same results.
Standard threads do have a relatively high overhang with 60 degrees thus are a little more demanding and do need a well tuned print/filament profile.
Generally PLA works ok and a reduction in layer height can help with adhesion at the tip areas of the threads.
I think since the screw on your design is so small it printed without issue but I couldn’t figure out what settings I needed to change since I still need to figure out what each of the settings produce. I will say your design is so awesome that I’m going to print one for myself. Thank you
That box is checked and it has overhang speeds based on the percentage of overhang:
10% - 25% No speed decrease
25% - 50% 50mm/s
50% - 75% 30mm/s
75% - 100% 10mm/s
As I stated in another post here I’m new so I must do a little research on what these number will do to whatever I’m trying to print. I’m learning so much from these forums. Thank you
thats plenty slow enough, the other 2 main factors are fan and temp.
fan should be maxed, temps if good elsewhere are not gonna really be a golden bullet, but drop em to 200 or less and try one. use a .2 layer until you have the culprit(s)
Hey thanks for your response! The screw in the picture is 60mm diameter and 60mm tall. It was for one of the Sunlu adapters. But you are correct the small screws from Buildfinity had the same issues (I threw away the broken ones and the rest my grandson has already taken them home).
