The problem I run into with all those hairs is the hot end slowly picks them up and over time it ends up screwing up the print

the width will adjust the flow as well so that it bulges out the side to the width you tell it to. imagine using a caulking gun. cut the tip off the tube so its 1/4" hole. hold it 1/8" off the surface. pump a bead 1/8" high and a 1/4" wide. now hold the tip 1/4" off the surface and pump the materia...

if your in s3d and you increasing the first layer height your doing nothing because when you use that setting it also increases the plastic flow. if your are wanting to increase your gap via the software you need to goto to gcode tab and enter an offset for the z axis. remember all those first laye...

245-255. i attached my profile for it. keep in mind i am running an e3d hot end so take the profile and set your nozzle dia and width to auto. measure your filament and be sure that is set correctly. this should get you really close with only some fine tuning needed. if you are still having trouble...

jerey it can definitely be too much squeeze tension on the drive. there can be enough pressure there to squish the filament into a wide oval shape which will get tight in the filament path. just put enough tension to leave light teeth marks in the filament. griff, fwiw i have printed atleast 30 spo...

I've been having a rough time with my PETG prints, stopping extrusion or jamming... Even before a print, if I tell the machine to extrude manually, I can start the filament in, but then it will just stop; as if there is a tension problem (maybe too much, maybe not enough). But if I push the filamen...

I have given up on this ESun PETG for awhile, it is just a gloppy stringy mess for me. I switched back to MadeSolid PET+ and that stuff prints beautifully!! Wish I could figure out the ESun PETG, mainly for its price point

I think I have it figured out. I run about 175% first layer height with 175% first layer width and first layer speed at 30% and it gives me a nice solid first layer that sticks amazingly well to my PEI bed at 80C. Once it cools to about 40C it pops right off

You can level all four corners of your bed and still have an incorrect z height . What do you mean by Z height? The home distance from the bed to the nozzle? That's right. If the bed at the "Z-home" position is not close enough to the nozzle, the first layer gets air-printed, and it deforms and won...
