Wood Temp Tower (lemmy.world)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by MissJinx to c/3dprinting
 

This is the temp tower of my wood print experiment Cand even se much difference. It goes from 260 to 190. Below 225 gets really flimsy and above 240 melts. But even 230, the "best" one is really bad, and I'm not talking about retraction. Even the layers that melt are inconsistent.

Also it's not humidity since the filament was in a filament dryer for.16hours.

edit: The nozzle is 0.8

can someone think of anything else?

This is how my wood PLA+ prints used to look too. Your extruder is almost 100% the issue. These filaments are spongy and don't extrude well. Try toying with your extruder tension and if that fails get a BMG knockoff

I thought so! My extruder was never good. Thanks I'll look at a bmg
