2. Increase the Flow Rate Flow rate is the rate at which the extruder of the 3D printer deposits filament to create each layer of the object. Adjusting and fine-tuning the flow rate means controlling the amount and thickness of filament coming out of the nozzle during the 3D printing proces...
LayerLock Build Surface for Polypropyleneis the build surface we've seen produce the most consistent, successful results. Designed to succeed with polypropylene, certain polypropylene blends, andOBC filament, LayerLock Build Surface sheets provide the strong adhesion necessary to keep prints from warping...
You need to fine-tune the bed and nozzle temperatures in case they are the ones you suspect to lead to poor bed adhesion. When the bed is heated to the appropriate temperature before 3D, and after the first layer, it ensures that the print adheres firmly to the surface. Different 3D pr...
It’scritically importantthat your first layer is at the proper height so that all printed lines are completely connected to one another. We've found thatDimafix bed adhesiveprovides the strong bed adhesion necessary for ideal flat prints. It’s also important that your extruder is properly ...
How to Replace PEI on a Print Bed: These days, many 3D printers utilize a PEI film for bed adhesion rather than tape or raw material as there are many benefits to PEI. But what is PEI? Well Polyetherimide, or PEI, is a thermoplastic that provides excelle
Printing with too high heat and not allowing the first layer to cool properly will increase the risk of a bulge, and make it hard to fit pieces together. Affectionately named ‘elephant's foot,' this mostly appears with large parts where the weight of the object pushes down on the first ...
Gaps can appear when one layer is not properly bonded to the layer below. A higher printing temp is one way to increase layer adhesion. It’s generally best to print at as high a temp as your material will allow. Beware that when you print at too high a temp, the material can boil...
