In need of help. Globs

Have been fidling with my r1 for some time now.
I was at first a little dissapointed that i recieved my printer this late and didnt get the
uppdated bed assembly. But what can you do.

I have been sourvcing the forum and found a wealth of information learned some things,
been puzzled by others.

So here is the problem.


The skirt looks like the line you can see the the most right here. Clean, but maybe to squashed out?
I have looked at the picture versing these forums of the perfect layer. And i have tried to move the z stop screw, but it doesnt seem to yield any changes. Maybe i am not moving it enough, or my eyesight isnt as good as i thought?

These ripples will eventualy even out with additional layers.
But i can hear and feel the whole printer rumbling as the hotend drags over these ridges.
Wich i cant imagen is good.
Also when i release a print, you can clearly see on the underside that the areas where this happens
seems to have air pockets, in lack of a better explenation.

Currently im printing pla.
Standard mc control settings from the web.
I made sure fillament settings where correct at 1,75
first layer 0,3
subseeding 0,2
print first layer at 195 down to 190
innfill 0,6
bed at 60 down to 40
cooling on auto
changed retraction to 3mm in hopes of helping things.

I hope this isnt to dumb to ask. i realy tried searching and looking for all the newb threads
But i just cant wrapp my head arround all this new stuff.

Thankfull for some feedback

 

Hi Mrimstad,

First off welcome to the forums. As to your problem, I believe this is a leveling issue. It appears that you are still slightly too close to the bed. If you print a brim around your print you can manually spin the threaded rods to raise it up just a little bit. You do not want to raise it too high, as you are already pretty close.

 

Hello Drew, and thank you.

I will try to raise it some.
Another question in between the next one
How styrdy is pla supposed to be? I feel that with smaler, or maybe thinner parts is the right wording.
It feel's realy brittle, they are easy to bend and im scared to do to much to them as it looks as the though the layers are going to split apart.
I understand judging things like that is hard withouth photo evidence and i will post some once the last print is done.

 

Some of the really thin objects can be flexible. However they are still pretty strong and hard to break. Once you get that layer height down (probably the trickiest part of printing) things will start to look a lot more solid.

 

Ok, thank you for the stl.
I sett it to print right now.
So now commes the next question. I should probobly have been able to find this somewhere, but how do i raise or lover the z axis at sertain points? I know that the software has this bed leveling setup that i have done a couple of times, didnt realy gain any succes to be honnest.

For instance the layer seams fine trought the back portion of the bed, but squashes out towards the midle front.

 

I seem to have got the height upp, and what a world of difference it makes!
First layers looks fine now, and no more drag acoss the print.
But ofcourse there are new problems. The head is oozing werry much, is this normal?
It seems to come from every screw hole and the body itself.

 

Thank you for more replyes.
I made the hight adjustment with the z screw and its not somewhere in between 4 and 5 i feel.

 

Ohh sorry, yes its now.
Its looking realy good at the moment to be honnest, although im still wondering about how to level individual points.
Do i have to adjust the bed itself?

 

Hmm good idea i must say, easter here at the moment so il have to wait another week for the springs but il make sure to try these ones out. Thank you

 

I still have problems with the hot end leaking fillament out of everywhere still. No problem with small prints,
but longer ones its to the ammount it will leak down and ruin the print.
Any ideas?

 

Basicly seem to leak from the top, puddle upp on the nozzle head and then drop down.

 

I also have the stock extruder and it move once on a print. I just moved it back into position. How do you tighten it? Is there a nut above the nozzle or is it a set screw?

I sent them a mail, i can not locate a sett screw anywhere close to the area it would have to be inn.
Just tightened the two parts togheter for now, wile heated.
Seems to stay dry , been printing for 8 hours like this now still no drip.
