Problem with change from base to walls on a box
Hi,
I have just assembled my printer and this is my second print. I have used this project: Voidfall insert exactly model "House Event Barriers bottom no connector" with black pla prusament. Result is on the attached picture.
This is some kind of problem when start to build a wall, so it could be that it is some standard 3d prinitng issue, but first I would like to be sure I didn't do any mistake on assembly. And just pointing me into where to look for direction how to solve the issue would also be nice. Test benchy was looking ok, no lines when transfering to deck.
This is a very common problem - most often with box type structures. The original designer hasn't incorporated any thermal stress relief so that when a solid layer cools it pulls the perimeter in and the next layer oversteps the contraction making a narrow step ...
To be honest, if you don't have access to the design files, there's not a lot you can do - perhaps increase the print bed temperature by 5°C and maybe slow the print 'though at best you will reduce the effect rather than eliminate it.
You will learn that Printables, and all the other repositories, are full of files that are not well thought out for 3D printing - including many files for which you are asked to pay a premium price. The exterior look of these particular parts doesn't impinge on gameplay and usability so it might be considered forgivable but get into the habit of checking Makes & Comments, also sometimes Remixes, *before* you download.
Cheerio,
