Hey !

Newbie with A10...I succedded quite quickly with the dog provided by Geeetech and the quality is super cool !
But then it's a disaster with any other model...
Please have a look at my 2 pictures

can you give me some hints on :

why my dog sticked on the plate and not the other things? even with a raft ?
And also why the quality of Homer Simpson legs is so poor compared to the dog ? Wall thickness parameter maybe ?

I checked gcode dog's file...and they use quite standard parameters....

Thanks for your help,

looking forward to reading you

Hello.


You can try to give a bigger fill in the slicer parameters.


You still have a lot to learn.

Hi,

in my opinion the pictures show pretty clearly that the extrusion is too low. You might check the following parameters first:

* In the slicer (Cura Slic3er, Repetier... whatever you use), check if there is a flow setting set to something below 100%
* Also check if the slicer is set to 1.75 mm filament diameter
* At the printer, check the E-steps for extrusion.

We had this issue when Cura was set to 2.85 mm filament diameter. This happened without us consciously doing so.

I really like your answer

I'll do my very best, but i'm merely sharing my experience, though.

Hi J2C,

Since the objects other than the dog are also printed in the center of the bed, I am going to go out on a limb and assume that it's at least partially the slicer you are using. Cura, in particular, can produce very erratic results from one computer to another. On my MSI notebook, Cura works great. On some of our HP notebooks, it's awful. Same file. Same apparent settings.

The one thing I can tell you is that the A10 can print remarkably well when set up correctly, with the right slicer output.

I have a set of gCode files, modified and sliced for the A10, that I use to test every single printer we have. If you would like, I can upload them here for you to test. They print in minutes and can identify any gap and level issues. Just let me know.
