Printing in PLA and ASA

Hello! I'm new to 3D printing and I'm looking to start using ASA. I saw some concerning things online and I'm scared of clogging my P2S. When I am switching to ASA -> PLA or PLA -> ASA, is there anything manual I need to do or will the Printer automatically know how to transition between the two filaments? I saw some online comments that you need to manually extrude the filament when moving between the two materials.

If there are any good resources I could read about what to do, I would appreciate those.

Qidi Plus 5 + Qidi Box Finally got the Qidi Box and idk what I'm doing

Under-extruding? Not entirely sure. All prints have been with PETG Basic from QIDI. I'm just trying to get back to printing.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

How can I avoid this happening?

I generated this model on meshy and even it has supports it does come out like this. Is there any solution for this?

My 3D Touch never extends its stem and doesn't stop when I force it down and up.

I have a Wanhao D12 230 with an MKS Robin Nano V3.2 motherboard. The wires are properly connected.

Need someone to help make the 3d file for this project

I'll keep this short and sweet.

MKS IPS50 Touchscreen (Upper)

Connects to RPi 5 with HDMI adapter to flat ribbon to micro HDMI adapter and USB-C to USB

All MKS IPS50 wired connections will be with a 90-degree connection

Waveshare 4.3 Inch DSI Touchscreen (Lower)

Connects to RPi 5 with flat ribbon to DSI1

Raspberry Pi 5

Equipped with heatsink and active cooling fan

Batteries

Each grip area should house two 18650 cells. BMS unknown at the moment

Stylus

Maybe a recessed area to hold a simple stylus

The image is just what I imagine it might look like.

Thank you.

Help with error in design/print

I'm printing this card holder vertically, but I'm printing it horizontally because it prints better that way. However, when the print is finished, I notice that one of the sides bends inward by 1–3 mm, but only near the end, where the part rests on the bed.

I think it might be because that part somehow detached from the bed slightly toward the end of the print or maybe at the start, but I'm not sure. Has anyone experienced something similar?

(Im printing in a AD5M Pro, with 3n3 PLA at 220 fl and 215 the rest. the bed at 50)

Help with raised ridges/lines on final layers

Hi, I am trying to troubleshoot what is causing these raised ridges/lines on my print. I did some google searching, and it said it was pillowing, so I followed the advice to lower the speed of the top layer and decrease flow ratio, which did not help.

I am using a BambuLab P2S with Sunlu PLA Matte and a print temp of 220C.

Is this pillowing or something else? Any tips on what to try next? Thanks so much in advance.

Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro - Z-offset extremely oversaturated/sensitive after nozzle replacement. First layer is ruined.

Good morning everyone! I'm facing an issue with my Anycubic Kobra 2 Pro and I'm hoping someone can help me find a solution. (I am attaching a video where you can hear the strange noise during the first few seconds).

A couple of days ago, the printer failed halfway through a print due to a clogged nozzle. Since the printer has been working hard for about a year or two, I took the opportunity to disassemble the print head, inspect the inside (which was perfectly clean), and replace the old nozzle with a brand new one.

After carefully reassembling everything, I ran the module calibration and the auto-leveling process. Unfortunately, every time I start a print now, the first layer is a total disaster.

I tried adjusting the Z-offset manually, but the calibration has become hyper-sensitive:

At -1.30 it's not right.
At -1.31 the nozzle is too low and literally scrapes the bed.
At -1.29 the nozzle is too high and the filament won't adhere at all.

Note: I made sure to hot-tighten the new nozzle correctly.

Do you have any idea what might be causing this or how I should proceed? Could it be that the auto-leveling sensor (LeviQ) shifted by a millimeter or two while I was working on the print head?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

What’s my issue?

A full print earlier it was in a different spot. I just cleaned the plate too. Is it a venting issue? Is it a dirty plate issue?
