Topic: Fine Tuning My Prints
Friends and 3D printing demigods,
I have been fine tuning and upgrading my Solidoodle 4 for quite some time, and over all I'm super happy with the prints I'm getting from it now. Thanks to Print-It and their amazing customer service and my E3d hot end and new heatbed my prints have come a long way.
That said I still have a pretty big warping issue. With my new heat bed I have tried temps everywhere from 95c to 115c. With a brim it seem any prints that take sub 10 hours have minimal warping. Anything above that a raft is required to limit warping. Are you guys seeing the same things? is there anything else I might be able to change to help this? I have walked through this amazing guide https://www.simplify3d.com/support/prin … g/#warping and I am using a head bed, I don't have a cooling fan, I did take the top off of my printer due to my filament kept falling off of my spool when I was feeding it from behind (if anyone has and recommendations on how to fix that I would be more than happy to put the top back on). If rafts is the solution I'm cool with that, but I know you all have printed way more than I have so I wanted to check
Another issue I'm noticing recently is I'm getting little clumps of filament that will stick up and and the extruder will run over it and burn it. This will cause a little black spot in the print. It normally happens on the lower levels of the print but after the raft. Kinda odd has anyone else experienced this? The black spot can be seen here.
Last question for now. I believe my sidewalls look pretty solid. But I think I'm getting a little z-wobble. Looking at my prints so far and the one below do you believe that this hack/mod would help my prints? http://www.soliforum.com/topic/2727/fix … -consumer/ or would you have any additional recommendations for me?
I can't thank you guys enough for all of your help! If any additional pictures or information would be helpful please let me know!
Thanks
