I have to rent out my basement, otherwise I literally couldn't afford my house plus food for my family of 4 (single income). We're living pay cheque to pay cheque, so I feel a certain amount of "fuck you" to this (assuming) sarcastic post.
Thanks for that link. I wouldn't be surprised if this is my issue. I replaced a nozzle very recently and it seemed to improve things, but it quickly degraded. I also replwced the PTFE tube and likely did it wrong...though the symptoms existed before I replaced the tube. I also have a fan that has been on its way out for a while, so I could be getting heat creep. It could be a combo of all things. Either way, I have new fans on order and will be doing the rebuild. Thanks!
That's a great article, thanks for the link. I had a suspicion that a ripple texture between lines is an indicator of too low, but it's good to get that affirmation. I usually do a real-time final cal when it's printing the skirt (micro up/down)
I gotta say a big thank you to everyone that responded. Your encouragement for me to take a breather and regroup with a cool head was much needed. Thank you all kind strangers :-)
I forgot that I had a spare glass bed, still in box...I put it on and tried the same print with the same results....the curl!!
I tried printing at both 190 and 200 on the head, 55 and 60 on the bed...still the same.
Correct, not self-hosted. The advantage is it comes with a book reading community :-)
