Topic: PLA corners build up

Hello, been printing with PLA for a couple of weeks now. I've gotten the pl to stick but there is a problem when It pronts.

Infill is at 110 speed was about 100

I have lowered speed to 25 and it did even everything out but filament was not coming out fast enough and it jammed up in the feed area.

Any suggestions would help
Thanks

Re: PLA corners build up

make sure 'retract on layer change' is selected, and increase the retraction distance as PLA is a lot 'oozier'

If that doesn't help, try adjusting the x/y jerk in eeprom. Basically, this is the instantaneous speed as an axis moves. It only needs small adjustments though - bump it up by 1.0 even 0.5 at a time.

Jamming in the feed area could be temps are too hot or the extruder fan is not working also check to make sure the stepper drive gear is lined up with the peek barrel.
