Topic: Going great...but messes up eventually

Prints great, but if its a long or large print the layers start to get effed and nozzle looks like its dragging through. And starts bouncing off bumps since layers arent flat and just wrecks entire print. But flawless up until that point...problem is "that point" varies project to project

And I realize my slurry is thick as hell but it went 170+ layers no problem

Sounds like you may be over extruding a bit.  What do you have your extrusion width's set at?

I want to say .42...but im a jackass and when I just went to check i hit manager smd than reset by accident and just wiped my settings..smh. If you have your config files ill look at those and try them. If it was over extruding wouldnt it donit from get go not just when it feels like!? Or is the over extrusion just slightly adding to problem and eventually it all adds up and than goes to hell

Ok...ill redo settings and see...makes sense it a cumulotove problem and each tiny bit just makes one big cluster fck. Well I had a good run of not posting in here lol. What should extrusion width be.

Re: Going great...but messes up eventually

It really can be a combination, if you've calibrated (single wall) to .48mm.  Then have your extrusion widths set to .42 it will appear to be overextruding even though extrusion is calibrated properly.  What you'll want to do is (if you haven't already) calibrate to that single wall thickness to .48.  Then set your extrusion width to the same .48 and see how that goes.
