Blobs and under extrusion with S3D
-
@pogo1213 said in Blobs and under extrusion with S3D:
I have retraction down to 0.2mm without stringing and no longer leaving blobs just leaving a void immediately after the retraction
You can use "Extra restart distance" to avoid that.

I also have a larger Z-seam with S3D.
With Cura I have much smaller nicer ones.I could not find any differences between the two gcode files.
Here are the two gcode files:

@zerspaner_gerd what type of extruder?

After a large amount of tweaking Retraction speed and distance (ending with 0.2mm distance and 5000mm/min speed), Pressure advance (0.05) and extra restart distance (ranging from 0 to 0.2, settling on 0) I still have a small seam. Any other suggestions?

That's a quite good seam actually. You'll never completely eliminate it. Now the trick will be trying different options to hide it in the model. I'm not very familiar with simplify 3ds options but I assume it's similar to slic3r and Cura and gives you the option to try and hide it on the sharpest inside corner or align it to a specific place. It'll depend on the model on which will work best. On angular shapes I find it easier to align it to the sharpest corners. On more organic shapes I usually just align it to a single side.
Have you also tested for stringing between travel.moves yet? 0.2mm is fairly low. How about an actual print?

I ran a retraction test (4 spikes in a 20x20mm square) with great results at 0.2. I also printed a few parts in pla with no issue, PETG Im bumping it up to 0.5-0.8 to get great results.

I'd say you're good to go then. Print a benchy or some other actual model and see how things look for further tuning.

After playing with retraction and pressure advance everything looks good when its not moving between parts. When it is it comes out like this

What is your travel speed in the slicer?
In your config.g do you have an M204 command to specify print acceleration and travel acceleration?200mm/s or more for travel moves is probably desirable and acceleration values 4000 to 6000mm/min. Greatly reduces the time available for strings to ooze out.
M204 P1000 T5000
