Been a while since I’ve printed PLA with a .5 nozzle. Filament is 2.85 3D-Fuel Pro PLA. Welcome any improvement suggestions.
Which layer resolution have you used in decimals of a mm as per settings not the nozzle itself
Thanks Tim
Layer Height is .25

Doesn’t look too bad, really. Maybe slightly overextruded, but with the Z offset just a touch high to compensate on the bottom layer?

OK Thanks
I will lower Z and set extrusion to 95%.
Also noticing that.3d-fuel pro likes 220-230.

That’s good to know I just bought a sidekick and got same results. I will use those settings as well.

Let me lend you a hand
did you dry your filament?
I can count the layers from across the room! Either you’re running a 2mm nozzle or there’s a misplaced decimal point somewhere.
