First prints questions
Posted: Thu Apr 28, 2016 7:03 pm
Allos, I guess this is my obligatory "Look at what I made mom!" post.
First off thank you to everyone on the boards I've learned a lot here just by reading posts and thanks to makergear for making such a nice printer.
So I started with the bracelet like probably everyone does and it printed well (slight corner bulge) and then I moved on to printing Jules new tool attachment (Your awesome btw if someone hasn't told you today).
But I have a few questions about how the print came out. It bulges out on corners, doesn't seem to fill properly and first layer it takes a second to extrude out enough to stick to the plate till then its just a couple of dots, so far its sorted itself out when its doing the outline thing.
going to try and post a picture here but I'm kinda new at this and I'm old so..

not sure how to make it display in the forum sorry.
So I went over to simply3d trouble shooting page and for the corners it says to hot and over extruding can cause that problem, but for the filling issue and the first layer it says under extruding is the problem. So since it dosnt agree with what I'm seeing I thought I would ask before I start messing with anything.
Also is there some good test items that people print to calibrate too?
