Trouble with this rainbow silk filament. Any suggestions?
Hi! @ManiacMolee!
Unfortunately, with the amount of information given, I can only hypothesize that there is a moisture issue. To give a more educated guess, a couple more things would be useful to know:
- What filament are you using? More specifically, what brand and how old?
- What slicer settings are being used? (Eg. Generic PLA Silk with no modifications or Bambu PLA Generic, 50% speed)
- What model are you printing (you can attach a .3mf file here, or a name and software found will do)
- What firmware are you using? This can be found in the settings on the printer screen if you scroll down a bit. It might be 1.08.00 or something of the sorts.
Assuming that the issue is moisture, which I cannot say for sure, I would follow the attached tutorial video. I cannot give much insight on filament drying, as I have very little experience with it.
I can only supply a title to a video at the moment: it is “How to Tell If Filament is Wet (And the Best Ways to Dry It!)” by LayerLab on YouTube.
Heya it’s on Bambu studio generic pla silk. I believe the firmware one step back. couldnt upload model.
