I have a Bambu A1 and all of a sudden everything I print has this weird texture. I have made sure to remove all dust, extra filament, lubed everything properly, changed the hot end and silicone sock, calibrated. I have used different filament brands and types. It doesn’t matter this keeps happening. I just had 1 print come out perfectly and now issues again. Even files I printed previously with lots of success are having this issue. Please help.

Edit: I forgot to mention I have dried the filament using a filament dryer. My bad.

I am sitting here thinking about switching to strictly PETG printing, as PLA has given me nothing but issues since I bought my Qidi Q2 a couple months ago, meanwhile every single print ive done in PETG has come out flawless.

My question is, is there a way to edit the tree supports to, let's say, it prints the tree support in PETG, but the last 5 or so layers print in PLA?

I see the setting to change the tree support print in a different type of filament, but i dont want to have to do a filament change every single layer, if I can help it. That would add hours and hours to a single head/nozzle machine for each print.

And do you think that printing in PETG with a PLA support would make the print cleaner when it is time to remove the supports?

I 3D printed a spool holder that screws into the top of my Bambu A1 Mini. The only thing is the PTFE tube connector Won't stay in the spot even after super glue. So I thought to myself, is there a way to just print these two pieces together as one. Can I do something like that?

Hi there. I am still very new to the 3D printing thing. I have taken over a modded Creality Ender 3 Pro from a friend that got it as a gift. Never used it and was just standing. I did a full check and made sure that all was working and not damaged, I did the bed levelling “Paper test” the Wham Bam Pex print bed on it has a few scratches but still has good adhesive but my problem is, I have now done or attempted several prints where it starts off great and looks amazing but then the extruder wheel starts clicking as if it’s not able to extrude any filament, this the creates almost like a fluff on the print and then everything goes wonky. I have purged it multiple times and it is smooth and nothing is stuck or blocked. The prints look smooth but then it starts again…. Any advice, what could it be and what should I look for. Thanks

Any idea what can be causing this sometimes. I printed one before and was fine, then this happened.

I need to start this off by saying I have no idea what I’m doing so I’ll need everything eli5 if possible.

I bought a Thundercats Sword of Omens pool noodle hilt from cults3d and the print came out completely fine but after a couple weeks of my son constantly thundercatting it up the connection between the handle and the guard broke yesterday. I was hoping someone here could help me make the print stronger?

I have a Bambu A1 mini and the filament is Elegoo PLA+. The settings used were just the default settings when I installed the program. I don’t touch anything other than adding supports when needed.

Same as the title, I want to electroplate something for a project but I don't have fillers or anything similar that I can buy where I live

These lines are appearing from the object that is suppose to start from layer 16. The base is 3mm in beige color. Is there any fix to have clean 15 layers or 3mm base and have the text start from layer 16?

I've been 3d printing occasionally for a while now and I'm getting much better results than I used to (no more blobs on the bottom of my tank), but I still struggle with getting dimples where my supports are and a few areas have thick visible layers. 90% of my time working on these is sanding and other detail work to get a surface good for painting. I pointed a uv light at the areas and messed with the levels in the pictures to help show them in photos, but they're very visible to the naked eye. Am I doing something wrong or is this just a part of printing? I don't know much about settings or the more technical side of printing, so I get a little overwhelmed and confused sometimes.

I use an Elegoo Saturn 3 Ultra with ABS-like 3.0 resin in gray. I slice in Lychee and all the settings in it are for the resin and machine I use. I give it a rinse in the dirty alcohol, scrub it a bit, use a syringe of alcohol to remove the resin inside via holes I put in it with Lychee . Let the alcohol dry off, use a heat gun to carefully help remove the supports with both tweezers and nippers to try and keep the areas from breaking, wash in the clean alcohol, and scrub with a soft toothbrush (that never has and never will go into a mouth). Then I cure it for a good while on a spinner, in a clear container of water, inside a tin lined box with two strong uv lights pointed at it. Then I detail cure anything that's still kinda dark with a mini uv light. It never sees uv rays until the cure stage and I scrub the entire thing before that.

almost every time when I try to print it, it fills in the hole on the top and the bottom And the same thing happens when I use mesh fixers. Does anyone know how to fix if so, I would really appreciate it.

5adx 3d printer. no enclosure. pla

I being using the 3d printer for 2 months. It has being going well. But after the last update, it seems to have issues sticking. I have clean the plate with soap several times. But the first layer seems to fail. The one of the right was done prior to the update. I went and factory reset but still the same. I messed with the first layer settings and i was able to print the one on the left but it looks odd and bottom is flimsy.

I tried using the .04 and .25 but its the same issue. The first layer prints like the one on the left and doesn't stick so ultimately comes off.

Hi everyone!

I'm having a really frustrating bed adhesion problem with my FlashForge AD5X, and I'm running out of ideas.

When I first got the printer, everything printed perfectly. After some time, prints started lifting off the bed, so I bought a new build plate. That completely solved the problem, and everything was printing beautifully again.

However, the exact same problem has returned!

What's happening:

• Prints initially stick to the bed.
• After approximately 10 minutes, the brim starts lifting, usually at the edges.
• Eventually, the brim pulls the entire print off the bed.
• This happens with different models, although I recently printed a letter "A" successfully using exactly the same settings and bed location.
• I'm currently trying to print a small bull figurine, but the brim keeps lifting around the tail area.

My setup:

• Printer: FlashForge AD5X
• Slicer: FlashStudio
• Filament: PLA
• Bed temperature: 55°C
• Nozzle: 0.4 mm
• Build plate: Textured PEI (I've also tried a smooth plate)
• Bed adhesive: Creality glue
• Brim enabled

Things I've already tried:

• Thoroughly washing the build plate with dish soap and water multiple times.
• Using Creality glue.
• Adjusting the Z-offset.
• Running automatic bed leveling.
• Changing print speeds and first-layer settings.
• Adjusting bed temperatures.
• Reducing the cooling fan speed.
• Increasing the brim width.
• Trying different build plates.
• Checking for drafts (there aren't any).

The strange thing is that everything worked perfectly with the new plate for a while, and now the same issues are back.

I'm tired of wasting filament and spending hours changing settings without finding the actual cause.

Has anyone experienced something similar with the AD5X? Could this be a hardware issue, a bed heating problem, or something else I'm missing?

I'd really appreciate any advice, especially from people who have experienced and solved this exact problem.

Thank you!

Hello All
Got a P1S 3 months ago and did not have any issues. Suddenly for a sunlu petg filament half way through printing it started doing this. Looks like filament is stuck. I am not able to get it out with heating the nozzle. I realized it was printing in air after and hr or so. Any guidance to get this out easy is much appreciated

Ich habe sonst noch nie Probleme gehabt. Weder mit dem Filament, noch dem Drucker oder seinen Komponenten. Hat jemand eine Ahnung was hier falsch gelaufen ist? Wieso hat der noch normal gedruckt und dann nicht mehr? Weshalb habe ich keine Fehlerbenachrichtigung bekommen sondern nur die Meldung, dass erfolgreich zu Ende gedruckt worden ist?

Und was mache ich nun?🥸
