Holes in layer and layer Seperation
Hey Folks,
I love my mini but start having trouble printing. I use the Prusa signal white PLA with the recommaneded settings. After a few layers I saw a weird pattern which I don't know how to fix . I attached a picture. Any hints what I can do?
Thanks a lot, best
Daniel
Best Answer by Diem:
White is always the trickiest filament to print, it contains more pigment than any other colour which impacts the flow characteristics; and it shows up the tiniest flaw.
Try raising the nozzle temperature by 5 degrees to improve the flow.

Where was this layer situated on the print bed? It this the first layer?

Hey ,
Sorry if I was unclear - the first layer is okay the problem are the holes and that the Layer did not stick together - I already tried to set the Temperatur up - but still having holes. The PlA was opened today so I can ensure it is not wet

Thanks Diem, I was surprised that the needed temp was so far away from what was recommended . The pigments seems to make the difference. I now have a print running at 235 instead of 215 which seems to work. I tried 225 before it got better but still going straight to the trash.
Thanks a lot
