After the first failed attempt, I performed maintenance: cleaned and lubricated rods and lead screws (carbon rods only cleaned ), tightened all belts, and completed a self-test and calibration.
I then printed a test part in the left-back corner (using a 0.2 mm Standard profile) with good results.
Notice the layer lines on the corner walls? That’s signs of lifting, the top layer is just a result of the build up.
On a print that size you are going to experience shrinkage with just about any filament, that’s why I’d suggest some glue and or brim with 0 mm gap. Mouse ears or discs would work too,
I’m using Bambu stick glue for each print. Before the second print, I washed the plate and carefully applied the glue. I didn’t use a brim. I’ve had some experience with models that have bed adhesion issues, but this time it seems different. The model prints fine up to approximately 13 mm, but the problem starts when the printer begins the cover layer over the infill, specifically at layer 88.
May be off track, but it looks to me like a flow calibration is needed. And perhaps a bed leveling.
From what i’ve heard the silk filament is actually a blend of PLA and TPU (just heard that so im putting it out here) so it might be that the temperatures are off. I do recommend using Orca and do a temperature print.
Did you use IRONING by any chance? You might need to test that out according to the filament… there are tests out there for it.
