Poor Benchy Test Quality Help on New MK3 Build
After having printed a 3dbenchy, I’ve gotten some less than desirable print quality. I’m sure this is an error of my own doing, and not an issue with the design of the machine. However, maybe someone could take a look at the attached photos and give some advice about how to reduce the issues in the print? That would be much appreciated. The self-test passed 100%, and the belts are at 265 and 269. The calibration yields the message that my axes are perpendicular, I'm not sure what kind of a hardware issue it could be otherwise. Is this perhaps a software issue? I’m using the Slic3r Prusa Edition on the DETAIL Prusa PLA setting with Prusa Grey PLA Filament. The biggest issue seems to be bridging. It’s hard to see in this picture, but Bridges end up droopy, stringy, and generally pretty bad. I’ve included an example of this as well.
Thanks so much for your time.
Re: Poor Benchy Test Quality Help on New MK3 Build
My GUESS is that this is a slicer setting issue, but you need to give us a bit more to go on to be sure.
1) Print a pre-sliced thing like a benchy. Is it okay? Then the hardware is fine. If not, it is a hardware issues and we can discuss.
2) Slice that same thing with your slicer? Is it okay? Then you have good slicer settings. If not, post how you are slicing and we can help.
3) Now slice this model. Is it okay? If not, then there is something specific to this model that needs different settings - e.g. supports, or bridging or ... we can help, but need a lot more info than the photo.
Also. Please attach photos directly to your post using the forums attachment feature. Why? Well many of us don't like going to other sites just to see your photos. Also, when you stop hosting them the history of this forum doesn't make sense (just discussion with no photo for the future reference.)
Info we need to be able to help you:
Printer Model. Mk2? MK2S? MK3? MMU?
Slicer version. (You said Slic3r, but not which VERSION number).
Slicer settings.
