Back in December I got my P1S and since I mostly printed Vases and plant pots back then, I decided to mostly use PETG.
That PETG as I now know was just Wet, which caused it to ooze out of the nozzle after the print, a Fact I hated. Since at the time I must've be pretty stupid, I decided to clean it by Heating the Nozzle to the max of 300°C and let it ooze fully out. It did work and the prints after it where fine... so I did it another 10-20 times until I got a Brass Brush and started just using that...
In retrospective, Filament really shouldn't be heated over its limit... because that probably Backed in the PETG really hard. Mustve been to the point where the nozzle clogged, getting me to cold pull it a lot.
Big question is, is there still Backed in PETG in that nozzle, even after 20 or so Cold Pulls? It definetly seems to underextrude a noticable bit. Should I use the replacement nozzle or look into other reasons for said Underextrusion? Thanks!
Edit: Did as suggested and tried swapping the nozzle, thermistor was stuck and getting it out broke it, replacement thermistor is gonna take till thursday to arrive, god I hate this machine
Seconded, good filament stored with lots of Silica packets goes a long way towards ease of printing....
...as does playing around with settings until you understand them.
A filament dryer was honestly the single biggest improvement to my printer's quality. I'd definitely recommend getting one. Wet filament is so frustrating to print.
Yeah I raw dogged ABS-GF and the quality was horrible compared to my next week's prints with a dryer.
I've not had too many issues using old / straight from the bag PETG but it was night and day with ABS.
