PLA NX2 stripes

Hello guys,

I have a problem with PLA NX2. When I print a full plate, I get color stripes. If you stroke the parts where the color is darker, it feels like a hill, and in the areas where the color is lighter, it feels like valleys. Does anyone have an idea what the problem might be? I have recalibrated the printer, cleaned the nozzle, and I haven’t changed the roll of material.


thanks for help Komad

The problem here seams to have something to do with temperature and or flow and or speed.

The color and texture changes you have here are a sign each layer hasn’t been printed with the same parameters - which is curious since they appear to be the same layers, is there anything different inside it? The filling or maybe a hole?

However, try lowering temperature by 5°C, speed by 5-10mm/s, so the difference between aspect/color/texture becomes less evident, this can help but may not solve your problem.

Thank you for your help.

There is no insight that anything is different…

I will try lowering the temperature and speed next time; maybe that will help.

I have the same problem with an identical object which is only slightly bigger.

Could it be that the filament does not have the same diameter throughout the roll?

That would be my guess. Those parts are all printed at the same time by layer? If you print them by object (individually) do the patterns still line up? This will tell you if it is print settings or filament that is causing the issue.
