I had support settings wrong below, and turned that off, as well as slowed down speeds and accels…estimating a 2 hour print we will see.
So I have always had to print with fuzzy skin on this printer. The belts are tight. I reduced the max jerk from 20 to 10 in the firmware using M205 and wrote to flash with M500. The ASA dried at 70C for 8 hours. I got similar results using a fresh ASA just opened. I printed with nozzle at 255 first layer, then 245 from there on out, with bed at 95. The 245 may need tweaking but I don’t think that is causing the ringing…I think the heavy bed is. The supports at the front of the boat did not survive the print. The 3DBenchy itself did adhere very well to the PEI surface. I have fan speed 5% min, 10% max, full fan at layer 2, min layer time is 5s, min speed is 10mm/s. I’ve read some posts that suggest I might need to replace (and might have needed to replace) some bearing out of the box. I do have an enclosure and keep it at about 50C.
I am sad to say the least. Recently picked up a much less expensive 3D printer that puts this to shame. Sure it is newer, sure it is not made in America. Sure it has a bed that only moves up and down and a much lighter nozzle/head. But aside from a few things I print that fuzzy skin actually looks good, this ringing is a real downer.
Anyway to save this printer, or should I just drop a couple of hundred on another Chinese 3d printer? I’d prefer to “buy american” but I need something that performs better than this.
