Hey mate, I keep my filament in a dry cabinet at 5ish% humidity, and I’ve had the same results with two different filaments in there. I even chucked my filament in a food dehydrator at 40C for 12h with no effect. I’m pretty sure the filament is dry!
I love these! Thanks for sharing!
After sleeping on it, I remembered that my new heatbreak doesn’t feed the bowden all the way to the end of the nozzle like the stock one does, so I’m pretty sure I have it seated correctly. I’ll check it though, many thanks for the info! :)
I know esun is quite popular, but I never tried it.
I’ve generally had the best results with it. Ironically, before the upgrades I had almost no stringing.
I’m using a 0.4mm nozzle. I probably should have mentioned in the OP that I didn’t have problems before, but the upgrades have happened in addition to moving to Orcaslicer.
Now I’m worried if I’ve got my Bowden tube seated in the hotend correctly…
Hmm yes, good points. I’ll have another go with the previous filament.
To be fair, I need to replace the extruder and get a high flow nozzle anyway, which I think will make more difference to the flow rate than running hot.
What temperature are you printing at? When I was using Marlin I ran mine at about 200, and could probably have gone even lower. I also tuned linear advance which made a big difference.
I have found that some esun spools weren’t particularly dry when I got them. They sit in my dehumidifier which sits at about 20%, so they get dry eventually.
You can try coasting as well I think.
Yeah lower temps work, but I’m really trying to max out my flow rate so I want to run it as high as possible. Pressure advance really helps reduce ooze, and quality filament is obviously a must.
That site doesn’t load for me. I have just been using a retraction tower and running the tuning function from the command line.
In the end it was crap quality filament.
I keep my spools in a dehumidifier which I actually think is too dry. Some of the filament was brittle for the first 6" or so.
It’s all good mate! Thanks for the suggestion. When I first started printing I had that exact issue.
