Hi all!
Apologies for double-posting, but i think i accidentally deleted my initial post, so here it is! I also realized that i can apparently only upload 3 photos at a time, so i am just uploading three showing some of the issues i'm running into and i'll post my settings below.
So i just completed my first larger print using PETG (eSUN solid purple PETG), and ran into a few issues that i was hoping y'all could help me with! Each picture of the print (the inverted Ciii cooler) highlights an issue that i saw, from the stringiness to the bumps on the main top layer to the inconsistent layering to the (what i think) is bad bridging...i've also included screen shots of each page of my settings in Simplify3D...any help or advice would be most welcome! I've been trying to dial in my PETG settings the last few days, and while i've made some major improvements in some smaller prints, this larger one definitely showed me that i am not quite there yet. I am printing on a Monoprice Maker Select Plus with the MicroSwiss all-metal hotend .4mm nozzle. Thanks in advance, i very much appreciate the help!!
Sorry for the exceptionally long list of my settings, but i wanted to include everything i could! Thanks again everyone!
