Any chooms got some 3D printing advice?
I have a bedslinger (Sovol SV06 ACE, PLA), and any lower profile prints have been perfect, but I wanted to try this cool paper-holding rat to print for my son, and I have tried 3 times and it comes loose from the bed near the top of the print. Of course then it just air prints.
Things I have tried:
- Cleaning the bed with 96% ethanol (I do that before each print anyway)
- Using hairspray on the bed
- Increasing the first layer thickness
- Adjusting the z-offset for more squish
- Adding a skirt of 8mm
- Checking all the temp settings: bed 60C, first layer 210C print temp 200C (as specified on the PLA spool)
I'm using orcaslicer, I think the one thing that's left to try is reducing the print speed, but I hoped that wouldn't be needed...Maybe there is a way to slow the print as you get further up? Or maybe because I'm such a n00b I missed something obvbious
