Re: Print Quality Issue on Smaller Print

I printed one of the arms again using: Layer Height: 0.1mm Dense Support Layers: 3 Dense Infill Percentage: 100% Extra Inflation Distance: 3mm ...and the difference is amazing. The nozzle alone was significant enough, but the Dense Infi...

Well, those changes definitely resulted in the best print of this I've had so far. Though no matter what, the supports are ruining whichever side they're on.

I'm very new to the 3D printing world, but I've read over most of the documentation and I can't seem to figure this out. I'm printing with a Taz 6 using eSun PLA Filament.

Re: How to print last thre layers with different process?

You can change the temperature by layer easy enough. The retraction settings however, would have to be by mm. To adjust the temperature per layer, edit the process and go to the temperature tab. Select your extruder on the left. You should see the table to set your temperature points per layer on th...
