Bulky messy outside
Hello everybody,
I'm down now to 2 days of printing time (131m filament).
My last two prints started to have issues.
My latest one has a bulky messy blob (don't know how to put that into words) as seen in the image below.
I printed the two parts of the soap holder in one print (PETG). Only the bottom piece experienced this issue. As I'm a printer newby, I'm not sure about the problem's cause. I'm wondering if it is related to the nozzle, because sometimes I used the plier to get rid of some loose melted filament hanging down from the hot nozzle. It could be possible that I damaged the nozzle this. Well, I just learned that this seems to be a bad habit. Otherwise I could only imagine a problem with the tension.
What are your opinions on this matter?
RE: Bulky messy outside
try printing the parts separately!
some of this could be where the extruder jumps between the parts

RE: Bulky messy outside
Wen printing petg, watch for blobs on the print,
I do then lower temperature,
if still not gone, lower extrusion multiplier a little.
You could make a temp tower then you now the best temperature for this filament, and every roll can be different.
