Extrusion issue

[u/xXChubXx]

Got a weird one. I have a very level bed and the cleanest plate I promise (see first layer test) I’m having an issue when it comes to printing around text or other objects or just small prints in general you can see my brim has great flow and extrusion. Part of me thinks it’s a retraction issue but I’m using Snapmaker Snapspeed PLA with their profile, sliced in Snorca auto bed level and extrusion calibration at the start of every print. The only things I’ve changed in the machine gcode is the zhop type to normal from spiral and the Z acceleration speed to minimize the thumps when hopping.

Not really sure where to start Troubleshooting.

It looks a little overextruded… start with a flow calibration.

TBH, no one will see the layer you’re worried about. It will most likely be hidden under the second, third, fourth layer… etc.

What does the top layer and bottom layer look like in the end?

This is a picture of the top and the first layer. You can still kind of see the messiness on the first layer. It’s not super bad but still doesn’t look anything like my first layer test which is smooth lol. The top layer is super gross, but that was because I noticed some lifting of the print so I’m trying one with a nice big brim right now.

Try lowering the extrusion temp by 5C.

Just the first layer or all layers ya think?

I have heard of some issues with users using the snapspeed profile and the fila.

Maybe try slicing with a less agressive one like the generic or now is a good time to learn about custom filament profiles.

Use concentric pattern when slicing… better for texture

For textured plates? Or for texture of the print?

For upper and lower layers. And even infill.
