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

Yes, I put a top level comment with details. The e steps were off causing it to under extrude

I don't see that comment here for some reason.

Oh that's odd. The direct link to it is here

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That is odd because your link shows there are 21 comments on the post while for me I can only see 8 comments.

I have had some similar issues when posting or interacting with other instances, especially kbin.social

I have been unable to vote or comment, and I have had other times when I can't see comments from the other instances and they can't see mine.

Something similar may be going on here with lemmy.one but I don't know.

I was wondering if its a defederation issue. Perhaps if the top level comment is from a defederated instance, none of the child comments display either.

Fantastic! Glad you fixed it :)
