Horrible Print Quality Problems
Hey Guys,
I just got my Pruse I3 MK3 kit last week, and I have been testing it out throughout this entire week. Although the assembly was extremely fun, I was dissapointed after my first few prints, due to OK/partially bad quality. Not to sound snobby, but I was expecting better quality. Since everyone is raving about how good the MK2 and MK3 print, I am starting to think that I may have made a problem when assembling the printer. The problems with print quality are:
Note: All the prints I have done are either the prints provided on the SD card, or prints sliced on Slic3r Prusa Edition. I really enjoyed building this printer and I hope you guys can help it live up to my high expectations 🙂 Thank you
Re: Horrible Print Quality Problems

prusa3d_fw_3_1_2.zip
Changes in 3.1.2:
See full release log on GitHub!
Low layer height (50um and 100um) printing is fixed
Precise homing implemented to remove slight layer shifts when rehoming after PowerPanic or crash. Self test will be re-run automatically to enable this
Improved FAN RPM sensing to reduce number of false alarms
Re: Horrible Print Quality Problems
I am already using the new Firmware 3.1.2.
I don have such problems with low layer hights, but overhangs locks similiar horribel. I tried an alternative fan-shrout to get better part-cooling, but also that didn't solve the problem.
Overhangs always curl upside while printing and produce messy "undersides" then. Does anybody have an Idea how to solve that?
Greetings

Some models are quoted support free but they do really need them, as per the horrible surface finish. I normally let the slicer decide unless there in areas that don't matter.
Also printing at an angle or making sure you position over hangs facing towards the fan always helps.
