Frequent crash while printing

Hi, I print a lot of cylinders for optics, this time the problem was more annoying. 

From the photos you can see a vertical seam and in the inside ,some string about 

5 to 10 mm further from the seam. After a height of about 30 mm you could tell the 

nozzle was bumping over the seam and occasionally giving crash warnings which

I had to over ride to finish. Previously I did a first layer calibration which I thought 

looked good. Any idea why this happens? what can I do to fix it? Is the seam normal?

thanks in advance, john

RE: Frequent crash while printing

The seam can be normal.  How old is the printer?

Crashing has a lot of causes.  Some are mechanical and others can be due to the nozzle hitting a print such as with warping.

RE: Frequent crash while printing

Seams are normal, the print head has to start a layer somewhere so it often starts it at the same point.  Many times this isn't a problem but if it is you can change how the print handles seams.  Take a look at this:

The finish is a little rough, before trying anything mechanical try drying your filament and cutting the print speed by 10%.

Cheerio,

Thanks, that article helped. My concern wasn't so much the seam as the stringing

that occurred on the inside around the same place in the cylinder. I figured it had to 

related to the seam even though is was further on.
