Mesh Compensation working only half of the built plate
-
It looks like we have a winner! Thank you so much Joerg55 and Phaedrux, I would never have thought about the glass bed changing with temperature, now it makes sense.
I got one small issue left, My filament starts to "roll" and sometimes stick to the nozzle and cause this:
is that a temperature issue?
-

It could be temperature, yes. Try upping the bed temp 5 to 10c.
Glass also needs to be quite clean to stick well, or use an additive like glue stick.
-
The upper-right corner looks like you are dragging filament around the corner.
That happens to me when I print the first layer too fast.
Can you try 1/4 speed and see if it improves things?
-
@Phaedrux I used a glue stick before, didn't like cleaning up after
I think the ambient temperature here is maybe causing another issue. its 18C roughly. At night even less. Ordered a chamber to help that. Will try lowering the speed and do a test print. -

Yes that could have an effect.

@alankilian Did run a test with 10mm/s instead of 30mm/s. It definitely helped. Have to find the sweet spot cause the print time on larger object will be significantly higher.

@R3D8U1L My slicer (Simplify3D) allows me to set an "Underspeed" for the first layer. I set it to 25% usually.
That way it's only slow for the first and most important layer.
Does your slicer offer such a setting?
-
@R3D8U1L nice to hear that your printing improved.
-
@alankilian Yes Prusa Slic3er does offer that. Like I said I am printing some different tests with first player speed and first layer bed temp to find the point where it goes from failing to working and hopefully keep those settings for all future prints.
-
ok guys, I tested different settings and I am happy with my temperature settings at 65 for the first layer with a speed of 20mm/s. Yes it takes longer but its worth it. Happy printing everybody and thanks for the support.
And btw I used a photo lighting softbox from amazon as my "chamber" and a personal heater to get it up to temp. Works great for what I paid.
