KOPrinting

I was thinking about this issue the other day. One possible solution could be to model a cube that represents your hotend, sensor, carriage, etc. You can import the cube as a shape into simplify and place it manually between each model to confirm the clearance.

As the other users pointed out, hard to judge without pictures. Along with the advice given above, I would just add that PET-G is pretty hygroscopic and not drying it before a print can also cause issues.

I couldn't find any straightforward way to get that information. Only way I got the info was to preview the print with supports and then with out and subtract the plastic weights.

Could you post your gcode file?

Could be cooling? What filament is that and what cooling settings are you running? What's your print speed? Try decreasing it to see if giving the filament additional time to cool helps.

Are you printing a single perimeter?

I've been mixing vase mode/non vase mode prints like that very often, I didn't encounter real problems with ridges or artifacts at the transitions. One thing coming to mind would be something I've seen people doing in the past... Are you slicing selecting both processes or are you slicing each proc...

Thank you all for your replies. As I mentioned in my initial post, only the first process is in Vase mode (the part of the model that has no open center...like the icecream cone), i.e. the blue process. The issue I am having is when I go to the SECOND process that is non vase mode because of the ope...

Hello, I'm using a 2.5 mm nozzle printing at 4mm extrusion width and 1 mm layer height. I have a model that is cylindrical initially but then transitions into an open shape. vase-non-vase.jpg I'm printing it with two processes. The initial process is a vase mode. When the cylinder portion ends, I ha...
