  • Bahah thank you!

    Of course, that's pretty much why I did it in the first place hahah. I'm not actually upset about it.

  • It had to be done.

  • Aw jamn, I've just spent the last hour in gimp trying to learn how to make a denim pattern and apply it to beans so I could make this full circle jeme 😭

  • Yeah I got the same thing where it seems to pull when it's switching direction but it's nowhere near as bad as how it is on yours. I'm thinking it might be a physical issue with your printer.

  • Actually noticed my settings were not "default" at all because I had selected options in the calibration test section. I just started an actual default print with a top, bottom, multiple walls and infill hahah.

    I'm printing with grid infill. Gonna cancel and try with gyroid.

  • Well, I just printed a cylinder and my seams are just fine with "default settings".

    I say "default" because originally I saw some weird stuff in the preview but it turned out to just be because for some reason spiral vase mode was on by default.

  • Actually I have, more than once. I have terrible memory though.

  • Huh, I'm Canadian and I don't think I've ever heard of a Canadian Tuxedo before.

  • Could you tell me where in OrcaSlicer you found this cylinder? I can't seem to find it in the calibration tests.

    Edit: Nvm found it hahah

  • Yeah that's definitely a possibility. I'm just finishing up my start g-code, gonna see what happens if I try to print that cylinder. Hopefully my printer doesn't blow up or something 🤞

  • Hmm, I've never tried OrcaSlicer. I'm curious, installing it now.

  • Is there a way I could see the file you're trying to print?

  • Actually yeah, you might be on to something there. OP could try adjusting belt tension.

    If you do end up adjusting belt tension though, make sure to recalibrate your e-steps after.

  • Did you notice this kind of thing happening before you switched your hot end? I'm assuming you've tested printing at a higher temp already but I have to ask anyway. 200C is kinda low for some PLAs.

  • Have you ever done a PID tuning?

  • Yeah I thought that might happen too. I've never seen seams like that before. What temp are you printing at?

  • That's a really weird looking z-seam, something is going on there that I'm not quite sure the cause of.

    However, in this case I think you could try randomizing z-seam position. It's not gonna fix the issue completely but it might help you with this particular part.

  • Yeah the Jolkswagen Jeetle, love that thing. (I don't know why I'm enjoying this so much, send help)
