Yep I have made the same.mistake. The difference is that mine was not.printing at all. Thought the printer was shit or broken, then I dryed the filament. Works perfectly

That’s true. Having only 1 is not good enough for me. Sometimes I need to be drying 1 while the other prints

Just want to add a comment for the beginners, I used to think this was silly and that I didn’t need that much quality. Well my prints started failing horribly until I bought a filament dryer. That DOES make a LOT of difference. Also I bought a 1 spool dryer. I would go for the 2 spools now.

Well I almost bought one. I had to buy a cheaper one bacause of, you know, no money, but I was really sad that I wasn’t able to get the best one. Now I’m a bit happy that I didn’t

oh no I don’t have it in my room, it’s in the garage, but the smell goes all around the house

I have had dermatitis from resin in my arm (accidental) so yeah i’m aware pretty nasty stuff.

I could tell you that it was a surprise for me but it’s not and I also have a resin printer. Have you smelled that? It’s the smell of cancer building up in your brain! But to be fair, so it’s cola, coffe, fastfood, processed food, cars, every material used for building and keeping your house clean and anything diet… so you know… I was already going to have cancer, at least now I got to play with some toys while dying

Edit: Just wanted to add that my BIL was 43 yo, vegan, fit, would work out and swim 7 days a week, would eat salad from his own backyard, lived in a rural “clean” area and meditate and didn’t like technologies… died from cancer at 43. I’m a fat slob that resin prints for 3 years and already outlived him

Well my fdm wont print anything this size so yours is a lot better

Hey thanks for the tip. Indeed this printer never worked correctly, it always printed PLA with over 220c temp, but since printing wood forced me to change some things that melted I just decided to look more into it. The e-steps were probably wrong since the begining and I never new to calibrate it but now I have to understand why it only prints nice when at 20mm/s. But I’ll look at clogs too, something could have been loose there from wood.

Oh one more thing, Temp towers never work in my printer It’s like all the stages are the same temp, even checked the code., it never had a good temperature control, but I just changed the heating block so it must be something in the configuration that I don’t know.

I printed the speed tower below (from 20mm/s to 100mm/s) and you can see it’s only printing nice at 20mm/s

Hey thanks!! This tip was gold and it helped A LOT

I posted an update. It’s very clear my printer has a problem I just can’t figure it out. I will try to change the extruder but It seems to be working fine… anyway, I’ll keep trying

It’s a new hot end and new nozzle, that’s why I pretty sure it can’t be a clog or hotend problem. It was having this issues before and I changed the whole hotend for a brand new

I’m using high quality filament. The low quality ones wouldn’t even print lol

oh thanks!!! I’m looking at the e steps and will look at pid after!

it is the same but I could try to change the flow

I thought so! My extruder was never good. Thanks I’ll look at a bmg

my print speed is at 60mm

tbf my printer don’t print well not even in 0.4. The 0.8 is printing better than the 0.4 was. I think the hot end may be the real problem indees

oh that’s interesting my extruder is indeed kind of shitty. I’ll take a look at this thanks

No, crealty wood. If its too hot it burns

Yes that’s why I’m using a .8 nozzle lol
