Hi everyone, I’m extremely new to 3d printing, and have taken over a printer from a friend who doesn’t use his. I’m trying to get those smooth prints I see people having, and I understand I need to get a smaller layer height to achieve the details. However my stuff keeps coming out looking like the pictures below.
Any idea what’s going on and how I can start fixing it?
I’m printing PLA filament.
- Nozzle temp: 215
- bed temp:70
- nozzle size: 0.3mm
- Layer height: 0.1mm
Thank you!
Alright so first big thing, if you’re using Cura make sure it’s set to a filament diameter of 1.75mm. If memory serves it still defaults to 3mm.
That can cause serious under extrusion problems that you’ll be chasing forever until it’s fixed.
Also what speed are you printing at, what printer are you using, and what slicer?
