I’m trying to print a file of 2 vertical tubes. The problem I’m having is that at a certain height, the print head makes the tube wobble and the print goes peanuts.
I’m thinking that I need to modify the G-Code from a certain height to make the printer slow down from this part… except that I’m a complete beginner and I don’t know how to do it.
Here are the parameters and characteristics of my print:
I have an X1C with a 0.4mm nozzle on textured PEI plate.
I’m printing in a single colour with PLA using the 0.08mm High Quality profile (it takes around 3.5 hours to print, and goes perfectly until the last 25 minutes).
I’ll add a screenshot of my print preview if that helps.
For a tall thin object like that, you need to print slower. Even with good adhesion, you might still get print quality issues because of wobbling.
As an alternative to adding G Code, you can manually change the speed to 50% part way through using the Handy app or Studio. Just set yourself an alarm to remind yourself to do it.
Thank you for your reply. But it’s not an adhésion problem, it’s a wobbling problem due to the height of the object. I will change my settings to put yours anyway, as it’s a good idea anyway, thank you again!
