strange ripple on prints
-
Has anyone any idea what could be causing this ripple?
-
Seems like your nozzle is a bit too close to your bed maybe?
-
I had similar pattern before when I had a warped bed. Mesh bed leveling for me made this pattern. Made it better when the mesh taper was increased
-
I am not using mesh bed levelling and printing on glass. I haven't noticed this problem before and wondered if it could be related to acceleration or pressure advance but I ruled that out because as the layers increase, the problem is non existent. In fact using layer height of 0.25 the problem has gone by layer 3.

increase the trigger height of the z probe by a small amounts and compare the result
-
@appjaws are you printing with DC42s IR probe on glass?
-
@underdonesushi Yes I am.
I have just realized that I had not put G29 S2 clear height map in my gcode files. I did have a saved height map in the system directory but I didn't have any commands to load it.Is it loaded by default?
I have deleted the height map and added G29 S2 to my slicesr so in the morning I will set up a test and see if that was the problem.
-
@appjaws Oh I totally didn't think it would work with glass. Ill have to try it, have you tried a mirror? Or would that not work. I am not actually sure, I'll have to read the gcode library after work. I don't have my G29 setup a the moment.
-
you can lower your flow for the first layer or just bump your nozzle up a bit. you are just putting down to much plastic at your first layer height.

@underdonesushi I have been using DC42s IR probe since he designed it and have had no problems printing on glass. I believe that a mirror will not work correctly, the best setup is to have the underside of the glass painted black. I use a sheet of black paper between the heater and the glass which works very well.
