Clogged nozzle?
Clogged nozzle?
Sorry for the potato quality picture. I really thought we were over this since I tune the vref, but I guess not.
Do you guys have any idea why my info would look like this but all the walls on the printer are fine? I assume if it was a clog nozzle it would be inconsistent.
You're viewing a single thread.
If you haven't yet, try a cold pull and see if that helps. I personally just do a cold pull every time I change filaments. Maybe it helps, maybe it's overkill, but I rarely have issues around clogs.
Other things to think about:
- Does this happen with other filaments? Maybe your current filament is wet and needs drying. Maybe you just got a bad batch.
- Does slowing down the print speed for infill make a difference? Perhaps this filament is just flowing differently and you need to change the printing temperature, flow rate, or just slow down.
- How old is your nozzle? They do wear out and a worn out nozzle can manifest as all kinds of wonky problems.
Thanks for the other tips. I’ve tried a cold pole with the last filament to see if we could get anything out of there and I think we should be good, but you never really know.
As far as the rest of it, it seems to be happening with every filament I slice in Prusa slicer.
This was a brand new filament I had opened from Micro Center, it’s just their generic inland filament and it looks like the humidity in my dry box is about 16% after running it through my dryer. Maybe it’s too dry lol.
To be honest, I didn’t think about replacing the nozzle that’s probably a good idea. I got this printer from an auction site used so I can only imagine it’s the original nozzle from who knows how long ago

This just reminded me of an issue I was facing recently. I also use Prusa Slicer and was having a hell of a time with my prints. It turned out to be the "Arc Fitting" setting.
In Print Settings - Advanced - Slicing look for the *Arc Fitting setting. When I had it set to "Enabled: G2/3IJ" it just completely borked my prints. Just weird problems all over the place. As soon as I set that to "Disabled", it cleaned up my prints considerably. Not sure exactly what I'm giving up there, but I do know I'm getting much better prints.Thank you for the tip! I just checked, it looks like it was disabled so that wasn’t my issue. I wonder why it was causing you issues though
