oozing

Currently oozing might be the Problem… or better the retraction… it looks like 3d print Fails during travel, or shortly after… after the last fail i had a look at the filament end and it was a blop… it looks like the filament was pulled out, and then back in, but not throught… so retration might be the Problem…

3d printing

time for a new category, or actually a new post… its been a while 🙁

and mainly it starts with a short story…

after a long time i finaly got my 3d printer (a trinus3d), which i backed on Kickstarter… and it actually worked pretty good… but then i changed to a cheap filament and trusted my printer it kinda messed up… the filament did not stick to the heat bed and it printer up around the nozzle… and after that, printig was a real Problem… but if this was really the beginning of all the issues is the big question. others with the same printer have similar Problems. the main issue is the cooling… whenever the fan starts, the temperature gets lower and lower… and sometimes it too low and the flow of the filament stops. so the printer stops…

so its time to understand the Problem… i already did 2 Things… replaces the power suppliy unit to an official stronger PSU. then i cleaned and replaces the nozzle…

i currently testing settings with Pango and Cura and actually i am not happy… there are still a lot of failures… but there are successes as well 🙂
