3-D printing

Is this the same filament you were having probs with before?

Nope brand new roll

Nope brand new roll

What filament are you using? I have problems with plain PLA the prints are fragile and dont print well. PLA + works good though

Oof. OK well at thjis point you're going to have to redo the entire setup calibration. Yuo've more or less replaced the entire hot end. and everything needs to be re-set.

Also have you changed any of the speed/transmission ratios?
Ive had to do that a few times to make sure the filament wasnt coming to fast or to slow

Ive tried tons of different models. Ive found with other articulated items it has to be a remix or stronger joint stl.
PLA + and a Ender 3 v2

So they're printing OK, they're just breaking after print? Have you tried PETG?

Yeah printing ok, just certain parts break after the print. Like the last part of the tail breaks. I can get photos tomorrow.
I havent tried PETG yet

I do on certain models but it's due to thin spots in the model or the head runnig too fast and causing bed adhesion problems. most of my stuff runs fine but I spent a week dialing my profiles in and getting it all working right. Usually if I have a print problem anymore it's a garbage model or bad filament.

Ive also found magnetic beds work great for getting filaments to stick

I also don't have a bed slinger so the head's moving on the X/Y and the bed moves on the Z axis. Less vibration but it means I print in an entirely different manner than an Ender 3

His A1 has a mag bed. So does my flashforge Ad5m. They am awesome.
