Re: PLA Strange Layer Behaviour

I just remembered I had a similar problem with another print where I would get extrusion problems printing in nylon for entire layers, for certain layers: https://forum.simplify3d.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9485&p=39573#p39573 That was printed on my delta, the prints in this post were made on m...

Re: PLA Strange Layer Behaviour

Looks like a retraction issue still. Moving from location to location and seeing under-extrusion like this most often stems from retraction settings. You may also need to look into increasing the number of perimeters or infill percentage, as some of the gaps look like they extend into the areas whe...

PLA Strange Layer Behaviour

See my two pics of PLA prints. The layers where the prints change I get extrusion issues. Maybe it's because it's the layer that goes from an infill to solid, or it's when there's a change in the amount of material for a layer. I'm not sure which settings apply. It had happened on a previous print, ...

Re: Heating After Calibration?

Thank you for the clarification, shocks. I had thought that the variable only negated the original input, but it actually negates it and inserts it in the desired position of the command chain. For a while I was confused because the resulting gcode wasn't correct. Turns out I had my Bed Temp ID on T...

Re: Heating After Calibration?

Thank you shocksofmighty! :mrgreen: I found the post by keyboardwarrior that explains how to do it: https://forum.simplify3d.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1959 The instructions were a bit confusing...I thought maybe he was trying to say I should enter the command and put the temp values in brackets. F...

Re: Heating After Calibration?

Were you pulling my leg? I just tried following your advice, adding the heat commands in the "Starting Script" and creating the G-Code... it just wrote the commands in twice. Weird, it didn't repeat the M106 though.

Re: Heating After Calibration?

I think you misunderstood, when I say "Starting Script," I mean the sub-tab under the "Scripts" tab. There are no heat commands in this sub-tab. As I said, I was hoping for a solution that wouldn't require me to open the G-code .txt file and move my heat commands after my calibra...

Heating After Calibration?

I have a G32 AutoCalibrate command in my starting script, but I'd like it to start before my bed and hotend heats up. I use a nylon filament that drips from the nozzle during the calibration, the filament gets on the bed and dries, so if I miss it in my cleanup, it messes with the calibration for my...

Which Will Rule? Upper Vertical Separation vs. Horizontal Offset

I had originally posed this question here https://forum.simplify3d.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2135&p=40939#p40939 under Tip of the Day, Support Analysis, but after not receiving any responses, I thought it might be better to create a new topic. I've had this question nagging at me for a while: ...

Re: Tip of the Day 21 - Support tab, a technical analysis

I've had this question nagging at me for a while: Which has higher priority, the Upper Vertical Separator or the Horizontal Offset from Part? See my diagram: Support Question.jpg When the part has a curved bottom, will the Upper Vertical Separation Layer (UVSL) supercede the Horizontal Offset (HO), ...
