I just stopped a failing print and noticed some weird extrusions happening (not english native speaker, also I’m a 3d printing noob, don’t know whether that’s the right word). You can see it in the image. Any tips to improve printing quality?
I’m printing on an Ender 3 V3 SE. This print was with standard settings.
EDIT: as a clarification, this isn’t why I stopped the print. It failed to adhere to the print plate at some spots. Redid my z offset and hopefully that solved it.
Nope, this time nothing sticked at all. Washing with soap as a next step, as that helped last time I had sticking issues. Will try again tomorrow as it’s getting late here.
Yeah, a warm soapy wash is definitely a good step to include here. Let us know how it comes out
Yep, together with removing some junk from beneath the print bed and recalibrating that solved the adhesion problem.
Oh, good to hear!
Material / bed temp?
PLA, that was 60C, as that is the standard in cura. I’m mostly using standard settings.
Also, how much are you adjusting, in terms of steps?
I don’t know what you mean by that :( what steps are you referring to?
Oh sorry, how many hundredths of millimeter are you are adjusting at a time. You should just make small adjustments and try them on a small first layer test print. But I guess you’re live adjusting, so what I said doesn’t make a lot of sense
