I might have to try some of this buildtak.

If I said I want to 3D my posterior and have a custom fitting chair would you believe me? For some things I think a bigger printer makes sense.

Also that, and it can mount 4 heads to print on a m^2 build area. There a couple of different reasons I’d like the giga to be in a solid state. Least of all the ability to crank out a lot of smaller parts on repeat is strategically important to me.

That’s not to say your argument doesn’t have merit. I’ve been finding that a lot of time can be saved splitting the parts and printing on smaller printers. The giga is a nice to have but not needed per se.

I think you’re right on the suggestion. It’s not enclosed and in a garage. That seems a good place to start.

Thank you.

I think I am running pla at 215 or 220. The clogging is coming from filament extrusion build up after the print fails to get adhesion. There’s no sensors to detect failed prints, like on a Bambu.

Also what’s ringing?

There’s no enclosure currently. It sounds like this is likely the culprit. It’s currently in a garage that isn’t very temperature controlled atm.

I don’t know about enclosure temps, but it will bet from around 55-72 F depending on time on day right now.

I think you might have nailed it on advice. Based on what you and others are saying it sounds like an enclosure is in order.

I was wondering about glue? I’ve been using it on the build plate on the giga. To be honest though, I don’t even bother gluing pla or PETG prints on my smaller printers that have textured PEI build plates.
Understandably though, it makes sense the larger build area and lack of enclosure would make adhesion more difficult.

I noticed a bit of wobble when it was printing the arches at higher heights. I think you are again right in that speed needs to be reduced.

 

I have an giga and it’s a bit finicky, I am hoping to troubleshoot. A Bambu it is not. I am a bit disappointed, because for bigger prints the printer is much less reliable so far than hoped. I had desired to be doing much more furniture design prototyping and projects than troubleshooting.

My primary issues are bed adhesion (even after good bed leveling), and layer adhesion. The first, leads to a quick failed print and sometimes a more catastrophic clog of the nozzle. The second, yields a bad quality print that has warping.

Right now I can sort of print PLA with a lot of brims (no brims, no joy) but my desired state is to print PETG, but the issues are proving too severe to get any success there.

I’ve done temperature towers, and am running hotter with a 0.6mm nozzle. I have textured pei print beds.

Anyone have any suggestions?

The composition on this is so good

you think they’ll repeal the 22nd amendment and we’d see Harris? Please it’d be Obama v Trump

Upper left hand corner. The peak turns into the nose, you can kind of make out a head, chin, there’s even a little mouth line.
