VERY helpful information. I seem to have solved my adhesion problem but without the detailed analysis you've provided. If/when I experience it again I will take the steps you outlined.

Thank you very much for the follow up post - much appreciated.

Thanks so much for all your help. Last print came out fine. No separation but did change quite a few parameters to get here. I think slowing the outline speed to 50% and increasing the outline overlap to 65% were the main factors. I'm printing again, and saving the factory file, to ensure I can repr...

Rather than messing around with multiple process that get you nowhere, stick to one process and cure the problem! Is the separation happening on all layers? If not, as I suspect is the answer, then what is the bottom of the first layer like? Is it smooth...or is it ridged, showing the individual ex...

So each time I print something I create a factory file with a V1 and name the gcode similar. Then If I change something I create another factory file and increment the V#. This way you can make tweaks to the process and if it goes bad, just open the factory file and you are back to where you starte...

try a second process for those top layers and slow it down your speed to 35mmS That's a great suggestion but it's not really the top layers, it's the perimeter layers which occur for a far longer time and distance than simply the top layers. The top layers seem to print fine but I will not ignore y...

As I sit here peeling the perimeter off a print i stopped 3 layers in due to underestimation.. That could be you issue as well.. If your filament has changed diameter you may need to re calibrate.. In my case I just needed extrude a couple hundred mm of plastic while wiping the nozzle to remove wha...

Changed outline perimeters from 4 to 2. Changed direction from outside in to inside out and got virtually the same thing In the original photo/print 3 of the 4 perimeters were loose, only the first adhered. In the last print (with 2 perimeters) there was a single loose perimeter and similarly only t...

Thanks for the reply - am trying a test print with inside out instead of outside in. Will report back.

I just finished a print that I have printed many times but with this print noticed all of the (4) outline perimeter shell layers did not bond with the side of the print. Printing in Poly Max PC Max and an AnyCubic Mega i3 printer. Never had this problem before but am constantly adjusting the S3D set...

LHawes

I'm sorry for not knowing exactly how to post a question here or where each post belongs. Also apologize for not knowing exactly how S3D works in every aspect with every factory profile and process or if any given behavior might be a bug. Given the snide and patronizing responses (Doug) I'll think t...
