I got into 3d printing last November and have been printing in PETG exclusively. Recently about a month ago I decided to add filament locally at my warehouse in my home town of Modesto, CA to pay for my hobby. This is where I was introduced to PETG-CF. I’m love this filament and slowly but surely am fine tuning it to reduce layer lines. This is my progress, any more advice on how I can get it better?

Hiya! I’ve been trying to print some props with eSun TPU-LW. Only my last two prints are having new issues, between them I tried drying the filament for 8hrs+ on 70°C.

The infill is super crumbly and the print sounds really crunchy. My earlier prints did not have this issue, so I’m wondering what troubleshoot steps I can take to fix it!

Specs etc:
TPU-LW from eSun
Bambu X1C with .4 nozzle
Feeding external from drybox or spool holder
265°C at 0.55 flow (this is usual for this filament)
TPU-LW is normal TPU with a foaming agent
I tried with retraction off & 0.4 (bambu tpu default)

Thanks for thinking with me :)

I need help. I've been having pretty annoying problems with my brand new H2S. For some reason it hates PETG.

I've done flow calibration, flow dynamics calibration, cleaned the build plate multiple times, dried the filament, and used all the calibration options built into it.

I'm getting quite irritated because my P1S seems to do fine without any adjustment but a brand new H2S can't handle normal prints.

Any help is appreciated, and I'd love to have some resources that could teach me more about 3d printing and how to troubleshoot it.

I use the default .16mm High Quality settings for PETG Basic in Bambu Studio.

The problems consist of:

• PETG sticking way too hard onto the build plate, to the point where the only way to remove it was scraping it off.
• Supports were sticking too much to the print, so I added PLA tops but then the bottom of the prints ripped off.
• Supports being knocked off by the Hotend
• Weak prints in general
• Spaghetti nightmare :(

I got a p1s with an AMS 2 pro last week. I’ve had another printer in the past so I wasn’t a total beginner but I’m new to bambu labs. I’ve been printing warhammer miniatures out of pla with a 0.2 mm nozzle. I print multiple at a time and most prints there is at least one mini that gets very stringy. I think it’s the support that’s stringing. I’m using slim tree supports. The rest in the batch usually come out great and with no problems. What could be causing this? I’ve tried using ai to troubleshoot because I’m pretty unknowledgeable on this and it said my settings should be fine and the only thing it recommended was lowering the humidity. The humidity is only at 30%, which I know isn’t the ideal but from what I’ve read shouldn’t be causing such a big issue. I ordered more desiccant so the filament should stay dryer soon when that comes. Right now I’m air drying it and I’m going to try when it’s dryer. Could this all be because of a 30% RH? I’m new to all this so I would really appreciate if anyone could offer some advice. I’ve included a picture of the latest model that went wrong. I stopped the print when I saw it went wrong.

WTF are they?

Hey, i have a problem with my top surface in my models, i print this model a lot and its always the same, the top layer in some places looks like under extrusion but not everywhere and i have calibrated the filament settings for that. some places look perfect and sam smaller prints do too and as yall can see te top part in the first image looks perfect

I bought a Bambu Lab A1 a couple of months ago and only now have I gotten around to printing with it. I bought PETG (just black PETG without any conditions) and decided to set up a profile in Bambu Studio for it. The stock Bambu and Generic profiles were producing really disappointing results (artifacts and a lot of filament), but the problem is that I can't fully understand and master everything yet.

(I'm the type of person who learns everything by doing, not a fan of theory, and YouTube videos aren't particularly clear yet, since I'm still new to the subject.) I printed without a filament dryer because I haven't had time to purchase one yet. I've only managed to test it with a thermal tower (I set the nozzle temperature to 235°C), ran a retraction test (but didn't change anything and couldn't figure out how to change it if necessary. As far as I understand, there's no need to enable retraction for PETG), and also set the model flow factor to the filament manufacturer's standard. Please help me and point out any errors and what I should and shouldn't do in this situation, as I plan to print PETG props for cosplay and the like in the future.

Printer: Bambu Lab A1

Nozzle: 0.4 mm

Platform: Textured PEI platform + glue.

P.S.: I apologize for the awkward text, as I was simply too lazy to write it myself, so I used a translator and executable. Regarding printing, I can also note a slight flatness along the Z-axis, and I haven't yet found a solution for this.

i have experimented with raising and lowering the z offset, and lowering and raising the flow rate.. why does this happen on flat prints?

edit: thank you guys for the help it fixed my print <3

Trying to print this desk drawer on my A1 Mini and the first layer is coming out like this. Lots of rough/raised areas, gaps, holes.

I am very new to 3D printing. But never seen this issue before, neither have I printed this large of an object yet.

Using the 0.4mm nozzle, PLA, 0.2mm layer profile from the model page, on the textured PEI plate.

Attached pictures.

Thank you.

I keep getting these artifacts in the first layer, did automatic and manual flow calibration several times, cleaned my buildplate with degreaser, dishsoap, windex and IPA, still getting them every time. Reduced first layer infill speed from standard value to 50mm/s, still... With Archimedes spiral it mostly happens in the corners, with the standard diagonal pattern it's a bit worse (last pic)
Bambu PLA basic, dried for 12h.

Are there some screws loose, or could it the belt tension?

This is the top of the print, a star wand that you can insert a gift card. Why is the tip thinning out and not fully printing? I am focused on the top not printing, I paused the print trying to track the breakdown, that's why there's seams and some plastic threads.

Hi everybody,
I got my Bambu Lab A1 yesterday, and i started a few prints on it. But today morning, the prints have these imperfections of it everywhere.
It’s Bambu PLA Basic btw.
It was printed at Standard speed.

What do you guys think it is?
Thanks in advance, y’all the best

Got a Centuri Carbon 2 for my first printer. Has printed great for 40 hours or so but now my new prints get these squiggly layers. Ive cleaned the nozzle and print bed and am unsure what to do. I have z offset at .06 and am using standard elegoo pla

Hey everyone,
I’m trying to dial in my print settings on my Anycubic i3 Mega S using Cura (I’m a total beginner), but I’m running into trouble with the small, elevated, and delicate/filigree parts of my print. They’re coming out messy and missing detail.

I’ve attached screenshots of my current Cura settings and photos of the actual print to show how it turned out. I didn’t edit any settings on the printer.

The base of the model looks fine, but the small, thin elevated parts are turning into a bit of a blobby/stringy mess.
What settings should I tweak to get these tiny, delicate details looking clean?

Thanks in advance :)

I am using this printer after a break of 5 years. It was used just for 2 prints before that.

The resin is also 5 years old but I doubt the resin is the issue here.

In the finished print there is this ribbed column that did not exist in the result exported from the slicer.

My first instinct was that it may be a stuck pixel but the column is "ribbed" that means it's not stuck, it's misfiring maybe? and it did not over shoot the horn top. If it was an uncontrolled misfiring, it would have appeared like a column shooting through the parts of the horn that are not the absolute top.

Any idea what this is? Of course, goes without saying I'm a novice at resin printing

Bambu A1

Bambu Slicer Settings:

• %20 infill, Cross Hatch
• 2 wall loops
• Strong tree support
• Alternate Extra wall
• Printed in PLA pro/plus (Last pictures are the filament settings nothing changed except I run flow calibiration on this filament recently)

Issues and Clarifications:

• I took the print apart but (like the second picture) it had already a clear cut line on the print before i took the print from print bed.
• as long as i am aware, there is no bed adhesion isssues.
• I saw a lot of "infill type" problems on other people. I was just wondering if cross hatch has the same problem or not?

EDIT: I have printed another print with 0.95 filament flow and adaptive cubic with 6 layer wall. It still has the same 1 layer skipped line where it gets cut

Bambu A1
Pla Plus/Pro
Changed Settings:
Ironing ON || Rectilinear || 30mm/s || 10% flow || 0.15 spacing || 0.21 inset (Default)
Adaptive Cubic %10
Z-hop: Spiral
Filament Flow Ratio: 0.95

It was only audible on the ironing action now it is silent again.

Is it normal? I don't remember hearing a clicking sound before on ironing.

I got this error in the printer, someone has a video to fix it? I’m in panic mode.
Thanks for your kindness and patience, I’m new in this.
