printing setting and fixing

[animetown9]

Hi

for the woman figure,
0.2 layer height
0.3 first layer
speed mostly 30mm/s
Shrink sale to 75%
infil 15%

about 3.5 hours.

Thanks animetown9!


zhangxueyou,

How long did the i3b parts take with your settings?
(Nozzle diameter:0.3mm
First layer height: 0.3mm. Others:0.2mm.)

x left: 5 hous and 18 min
x right: 3 hours and 10 min
x belt bracket: 3:16
extruder holder: 1:40
But sometimes not this time, maybe longer a bit.

Hi,

I liked the girl you printed and decided to print one myself. My settings overall are different than yours (I am using mattercontrol for my 3D printing software and a wider nozzle [long story to how I ended up with a wider nozzle]). However, no matter what size I printed, I did notice the line patterns was the same on both prints (they both became thicker in the same spots and thinner in the same spots). With that in mind, I guess it would be a slicer/layer height/filament issue (I have about 8 different filaments. PLA, ABS, and PETG. some do print better than others, even within the same group. One ABS color/maker prints better than another ABS color/maker). Try printing it bigger. The lines should become smaller. Also try changing your layer height too (one thing affects another so you may need to change your filament speed too because the height is smaller). I know you have tried some of these things already but try changing two things at a time and write down what you changed to keep track and see what happens. I know the trial and error idea sucks, but it works. I don't mind the lines on mine so much. I have seen worse on a cube X Duo and that is suppose to be plug and play/print!

Wow, your models look beautiful and smooth! Could you please share your settings for us? I will be appreciated.

Sorry for the late reply. I am using MatterControl for my 3D printing software. The settings I changed was:

On the woman body: No infill/set to 0 (I did this because my nozzle was hitting the infill after it hardened and was messing up the layers. Since there is no infill, I put led lights on the inside so when you shake it, it lights up)
Perimeter Layers: 4
Turned on avoid crossing perimeters (helps remove oozing strings)
Number of top and bottom layers: 4
Perimeter print speed: 30/30%
Non printing travel speed: 50 (I lowered it because sometimes the quick move would shake the hot bed/model)
Extrusion Multiplier: 2 or 3 (3 worked best for me)

Important note: I drilled out my nozzle to 1.2mm/1/32 inches. This was a accident. My nozzle became clogged and I was trying to clean it out. I used a smaller drill bit and it broke inside the nozzle, so I had to use a bigger bit to drill out the broken bit. The mistake worked out great! No more clogging and no more clicking sound from the extrude motor.

The down side: I use 30% more filament now because the nozzle is bigger. I am not suggesting people drill out their nozzles. However, it did fix some of my issues. I still do get bad prints now and then.

I Have a 8mm i3 pro b printer and have had issues since the start. The extruder tube and power supply were bad out of the box. when i finally got it printing i was using the default geeetech .3mm settings. I have printed with abs and had consistent popping from the filament sticking and then breaking not makng a clean line. I have tried to read from the forums, wiki and online and have learned some but am still having issues with prints. I now switched to pla and am having some different issues and some the same. I am having delamination along the sides. the fill is not filling properly and if the object is small it cant build upright fast without it coming undone. I have the speed multiplier at 100, flowrate at 100, the bed temp at 60, the extruder at 185, feedrate at 100mm/s, the extrude and extract at 10mm/s.
Im using the repieter-host software. can someone please help me with the settings and what im doing wrong?

If your filament diameter is 1.75mm, you can try these settings. If you think the infill is not proper, you can change it but not lower than 15%.

thank you i'll give these a go, It is 1.75mm. I'm trying pla right now. will these work for both abs and pla? just changing the bed temp and extruder temp?
