Temp too low? Or is this the remains of support that hasn’t detached?
Is this a problem with ironing? Any ideas greatly appreciated?
This is PLA from Geeetech.
After some experimenting I lowered the temperature and it’s now at a maximum of 220, the initial layer at 210 and the rest at 195. Perhaps that’s too low? Does this seem the result of too low temp?
Is this the underneath we are shown?
The texture of the edges looks like the imprint from a textured plate.
It looks like a lot of bridging the spans you have in the base and no support.
If this is the bottom, ironing shouldn’t have any affect unless the top surface is very close to the layers shown in the photo.
Ironing is top surfaces only.
yeah, bridged and air printed
check your support settings Snug or Grid, Top interface layers set to at least 1 (should be two by default) Top Z distance (0.2 - 0.25 max for easier removal.)
Also… do you use different materials for support?
Thanks. I did use supports. I’ll try your settings now. But I ended up increasing the temperature of the filament slightly and now it’s just super rough again
I also used a dehydrator on it. It’s just very strange. No other filaments do this. I got it discounted from aliexpress; wondering whether it was a bad batch.
Check the temp for stringing. Use the lowest - 200-210 for pla 240-250 petg
Maybe check your “Top Z distance” under “Support” you want to reduce the value in small steps until it becomes to hard to remove the support, then back up a little.
I just looked and there is some Geeetech on Aliexpress for $6.86 a roll. If this same model prints fine with other filaments and the Geeetech is the cheapest filament I’ve EVER SEEN I think maybe it’s the filament? Maybe?
