So I am trying to print a basic box for a control plate in ABS.
I have 3 issues:
-Missing lines of filament..... (mysterious pattern)
-Splitting ... (too low temp?)
-Warping ...(
So the missing filament is one I can't understand and would appreciate help with.
If you look at the bottom of the box, some of the lines of filament are not getting laid down. It appears to be a pattern. It is supposed to be solid, and appears that way in s3d when I prepare to print, but doesn't actually lay it down that way... again, its not a random miss, it appears to be a pattern that is not the same as the preview.
Any clues? Is it something to do with an equation of width or something? Any help or clue would be appreciated, first time i have come across something not coming out the way it looks on screen.
As far as the splitting goes, I will try again, at a higher temp.... this one was ABS at 230, but a little research i did said I should go up to 260.... ?
I am ok printing in PLA, but finding ABS is tougher... This box is also warping a little off the bed in the corners.... print bed is 110, reduced to 85 after 10 layers.
Would welcome feedback on these settings to help minimise warping.
I'm using a flashforge creator pro dual head printer, and trying to print with the roll of ABS that came in the box.
Not sure how to post my settings, perhaps that would be a good feature of the software in future... the ability to capture and post settings somehow?
Thank you in advance if you are able to help...
