Silk PLA prints are having minor spaghetti issues

I’m trying to dial in on what’s going on with my test prints. I’ve had zero issues with any matte or regular PLA, along with PLA+. I switched to silk PLA, and in a batch of two, I’ll have some really rough spaghetti issues on the first few layers, I think from it not adhering to the bed well enough.
I’ve looked through the forum a lot for recommendations on Silk settings, but it looks like the majority of folks use regular PLA settings. I’ve tried setting the AMS to both PLA and PLA-Silk, with the same results. I was initially printing with a model I just made, but after getting the issue I switched to a known quantity, this flexi-rex I’ve printed a gajillion times. I’m putting down a thin layer of glue each time. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :slight_smile:

Do a manual calibration of the filaments, K Value first then Temp tower. Use that instead of the LiDAR

Good call, I’ll hopefully try this today :slight_smile:

For anyone else who had this issue - the manual calibration did the trick. I compared the values and they were just a couple numbers off for the silk filaments from the LiDAR values but it fixed it. :slight_smile:
