Hello, my (user) name is Pegmis.
I am the recent owner of a solidoodle 2 basic.
I hope to learn what I can from everyone, and pass on anything I learn.
(like blue painters tape and elmers glue sticks are a decent substitute for not having a heated bed)
My question is, does anyone know how to make the printer print smooth on the last layer instead of it looking..
string-ie?
You can decrease the extrusion width for the top layer to create mor tool paths. This will produce a smoother top layer assuming everything else is calibrated properly.
Fancy, how do i go about doing that?
This is awesome, I love my printer
Thanks for the tip by the way
Don't pay any attention to my numbers but this is where you make the change. Try roughly half of your normal extrusion width. So if it's set properly for a .40 nozzle about .48 for your normal and just try .24 for just the top layer. Test on a short print and dial it in and you should get closer to what your looking for.
Awesome, thank you.
