I've been getting some problem layers with this filament, especially on flat pieces like this. The first layer is always good, but flat layers (top and bottom) that are not on the bed are not great, like the filament is sagging and not connecting to the lines next to it, regardless of if they are supported or not. This one was a flat layer (completely horizontal) that was fully supported with the zigzag supports from the sovol version of cura.
I know ideally I wouldn't have totally flat overhangs like this but with the piece I want to print there isn't really a way around that other than printing multiple flat parts and gluing them together.
I am using a Sovol sv06 and overture PLA. I did not have this issue with the sovol silk silver pla.
I've tried leveling my bed again and I think mu z offset is OK because the first layers look good. Currently I'm printing another temp tower and will try some other calibration pieces but any help is appreciated
I did do a temp tower test and found a good temperature. I did try running through the auto bed leveling on the SV06 as well and it didn't change anything. I have read other methods of bed leveling that are better for the SV06 so I may give those a try too.
I can definitely see the advantage of sticking with one brand of filament. Being new I kind of assumed PLA is PLA but there has been a noticeable difference between the two that I have tried
Did you ever fix your issue?
Yes, I put a top level comment with details. The e steps were off causing it to under extrude
Fantastic! Glad you fixed it :)
