  • Cooling fan cooled the spaghetti, and when enough got formed, outer perimeters started building the Z support. After some time, the infill actually caught to the flying spaghetti and created a “solid” bottom layer upon other layers managed to stick. Due to the flexible nature of spaghetti structure, the printed part was wobbling quite much and couldn’t retain the dimensional accuracy 😕







  • It took some time to find the culprit.

    It’s under:

    Filament settings -> Cooling -> Cooling thresholds -> Slow down if layer print time is below: # - and - Min print speed: #

    I am running a bit hot, yes, 215, and the extruder is bowden feed. It does tend to ooze a bit like all bowdens do, that’s why i have to get my speeds and accelerations on point, because the “dynamic” speed/extrusion settings never provide good results for this printer and i don’t know how to account for the oozing on speed changes.

    I’d love to upgrade to a direct extruder, i’m currently using e3d v6 hot end. Do you have any suggestions?


  • First layer is printed with 0,8mm and half as fast as the others, then the second layer i believe is regular width but still half the speed, that’s why it’s a bit squished down there.

    I was mainly worried about the top, as i didn’t set anything speed or extrusion related for anything apart from the first two layers mentioned.

    Otherwise, prints are okay, but i like to print a calibration cube every now and again just to check for possible maintainance required.
