Calibrating the Extruder on a Geeetech A30
Re: Calibrating the Extruder on a Geeetech A30
Print is now finished and it is almost perfect exept those spots, I have illuminated it so it can be seen hopefully the forum down downgrade the image too much.

Re: Calibrating the Extruder on a Geeetech A30
Just checked https://www.simplify3d.com/support/prin ... s-and-zits
There appears to be three main reasons (from that site and what comes to mind):
* Nozzle is worn out - replace it with a new one and check again
* Over-Extrusion at the point where two shell perimeters meet - probably try slightly reducing steps/mm for the Extruder or calibrate it again
* Issues in the z-hop configuration, tho I don't see why there should be z-hops on your vase test-print

I dont think I have used it enough to have worn out the nozzle, Calibration done and yes no Zhop needed in vase mode. If you look its only when it gets to the more complex part of the vase, I think I am just going to fast But today I am just experimenting with 0.2 mm nozzle, Just messing with the last of the Filament roll, so funny A cube gonna take 12 hours lol But just want to see what happens, I increased the temp and lowerd the speed right down to compensate for the smaller nozle.
When the last of this roll is gone I will go back to the vase and slow it down, gives me chance to jump into VR and play some Blood and Truth while it prints.
