Bad Printer!!!...Bad =D (Page 1 of 2)

I actully kind of like that effect. It has tiger stripes!

I know why. His printer's got tiger blood.
Sorry...couldn't resist

Thanks Ward - I think this is a great idea!  A thread for failed print pictures without the mumbo-jumbo.

It has been duplicated...but can it be done reliably?

Level your bed lazy man

That was kind of the idea.  I wanted to come up with a fun way to address some of the rutine failures.  You know the ones we seem to answer daily

Ok maybe my bed isn't perfectly level it is damn close though and your right it isn't the cause.  Nice observation or back peddling what ever you want to call it I'll let it slide

Also not the correct answer....  I print most things at 100 percent and haven't ever encountered what you describe.  Sounds like someone needs to spend some time calibrating their printer

I've noticed that I need to push the filament feed rate up to double or more of the "correct" calibrated setting otherwise I get similar gaps in the surface of my prints. I'm starting to think it varies with every filament, and I need to calibrate temps and feed rate for every one. Is that how it works?

Nope... Try again

It is not specific to brand but to answer your question that was done on an SD3. Check signature for mods.

Nope, this is not a profile/settings issue.  It does however, sound like you may have an extrusion width setting that needs to be addressed or an extrusion multiplier out of whack.
