Toasted Torture Toaster
(lemmy.snekerpimp.space)
This is a cry for help. I have a Monoprice Voxel which is basically a Flashforge Adventurer 3. Owned for about 3 years now, and still have only a slight idea as to what I am doing. I have been successful with small prints, little thin walled custom functional prints, and they do fine. Trying to print anything longer than 3 hours and I start having issues. I printed a torture toaster and attached is the result. I have never had layer shift like this. Was wondering if anyone out there had any pointers or tips for this printer and pla prints? Are there any other testing prints I can use to help tune and hone in on a perfect print? Good resources for using these testers to tune your prints? Thanks in advance!
Thanks4nothing is right, this is not a model for tuning, its more like a model to prove you tuned it :)
Bed leveling squares, temp tower, flow tower, calibration cube, retraction test. That should be enough, but later on you can look into pressure advance and resonance calibration.
Its better to make your life easier by tuning model/orientation/settings with goal to avoid problems. Dont try the opposite, its easy to force printer to failure.
If your prints fail after 3 hours consistently it can be that your stepper driver is overheating and skipping steps. Easy fix, but that was just a guess, its better if you provide picture of failed print. Are you experiencing layer shift on other models?
