How can I make my PLA look better?

[Tish86]

So I have been printing with ABS for a while now and just started with PLA and my prints turn out like this.. I did some online search and found what I need to change but don't fully understand it so that's why I'm reaching out on here for help.


Current settings:

Current Settings

2mm Print:

3mm Print

3mm Print:

2mm Print

Try increasing your XY Axis Movement Speed on the Other tab. You may also want to add a small negative extra restart distance to your retraction settings (for example -0.1mm).

FYI - there's more suggestions here: https://www.simplify3d.com/support/prin ... s-and-zits

Thank you, I'll give it a shot right now. I changed the value to -0.1 and increased the outer speed from 70% to 80%.

I did what you suggested and still have issues, I ended up removing the complete FFF file and installed it again with better results but still have issues.
